E Ingraham for john from Washington

[@Scaredy_Catt]

Excellent repair, James. The reversal of someone else's attempt(s) is just what the original movement needed. It's a good thing that you know how things are supposed to go together as intended by the maker. Thanks for the great video.

[@jamesmartin5370]

Many thanks.....

[@aidanbrennan9989]

Lovely work, as always. Thank you for another excellent lesson - so enjoyable.

[@jamesmartin5370]

Thanks.........

[@max.m.8873]

Great work 👍👏

[@ariedekker7350]

Very impressive your repair. Hopefully the remaining repair will be at least at your level. I look forward to receiving your next report.

[@jamesmartin5370]

Thanks Arie

[@hot_garbage_Z]

Great work! Glad you got that sorted for the owner, hopefully he gets the escape wheel situation figured out on his own.

[@davidlondon5241]

Always a joy to see you work

[@billg125]

Another good one James .. thank you

[@jamesmartin5370]

Many thanks.........

[@joetallon4968]

Thank you! I always learn something new with each of your videos.

[@jamesmartin5370]

Thanks Joe...

[@maestromecanico597]

When I saw that epoxy I was certain it would have to be ground or filed off. Much better with solvent and peg wood. Excellent job as always.

[@jamesmartin5370]

Thanks, yep, peg wood doesn't leave and tool marks to deal with..

[@kreiger0]

Glad to see you're doing well. My KA24e parts still work great, and my engine runs like one of these clocks! :)

[@jamesmartin5370]

Great to hear the parts are still performing as designed, a lot of happy KA24E owners report the same as you...

[@kristyskirt9015]

Great save Mr. Martin. 👏 Bravo

[@jamesmartin5370]

Thanks, I wanted to do more but its up to the owner now.

[@Vandal_Savage]

Looked like that JB Weld stuff I people on the dark side of KZbin slathering everything with... Great stuff (and great save) as always 🙂

[@jamesmartin5370]

Yes, it looked like JB, its good stuff when used in in the right application.

[@Cobesclocks]

Well performed Mr. Martin hopefully next spring we can arrange the repair for my sessions Westminster clock like I said on email

[@jamesmartin5370]

Thanks...Looking forward to it.

[@LukeCoggeshall-gy5oo]

Nice clock! Great work as always.

[@jamesmartin5370]

Thanks..........

[@davidwilliams1383]

Just when you think you've seen it all, some butcher takes it to a whole new level. Thank goodness that we have James to save these clocks. What did you use for a solvent in this case? Thank you for sharing, always a treat.

[@jamesmartin5370]

I tried several, straight acetone ended up working.

[@djhscorp]

Ive watched most of your videos and have been fascinated. Would you consider a shop tour, i would love to see the lathes etc. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamesmartin5370]

Thanks, I'll give that some thought...

[@TheTarrMan]

Some of that solder looks like JB Weld.

[@jamesmartin5370]

Yea, they threw everything at it trying to get it fixed..

[@madheji]

Highly expert repair, beyond most people’s ability, you certainly seem like a master clockmaker . I have just one complaint, I wish you go over the disassembly and assembly of the clock as thoroughly as you point all the little flaws of the clock itself. That will certainly make your channel grow. You put in an awful time in creating these beautiful videos, why not have more people enjoy and LEARN from these videos. Unless that’s something you are not interested.

[@jamesmartin5370]

I have many videos with complete tear down and assembly. Complete rebuild on some of these movements takes hours to do so just show highlights.

[@madheji]

I think I have seen all of your videos, I am a novice at clock repair so may be I didn’t catch it Thanks for the answer

[@DavoShed]

Very nice save. I thought for sure you would need donor parts🤠

[@jamesmartin5370]

Owner didn't want to go that route so we worked with what we had here.

[@DavoShed]

@@jamesmartin5370 Yes I understand that. I’m very impressed with your work.

[@Cinder2008]

I enjoyed the video

[@jamesmartin5370]

Glad you enjoyed...........

[@flyergowest]

👍

[@pauldyck4596]

Nice work. I was a little disappointed that the owner didn't have you fix the escape wheel as well. On one of your videos you built up the teeth with silver solder and then filed them to the correct shape. At the end of the video it looks like the time side was running, so maybe you made some adjustment to it. It says something that the owner who does clock repair himself sent this to you.

[@jamesmartin5370]

He collects clocks and does some fixes. He said he has reached his investment limit on this one.

[@Fred-nz9dp]

My 1910 E Ingraham Mission oak from May 1910 has same escapement wheel! Might have been same movement but mine was older version though.

[@robertjwilliams3532]

I am amazed how people will just half do something. Like your car - - this repair reminds of what will happen if you only change half of the spark plugs. That is if it even has them!!

[@jamesmartin5370]

Agree, I am seeing more and more of these butchered movements come into my shop.

[@Cobesclocks]

What an interesting escapement wheel.I prefer thicker teeth appears to be more durable maybe there’s some downsides I’ll let you be the judge of that

[@jamesmartin5370]

[@johnhelt5475]

0:01:30 I would have loved to see how you addressed the issues with the escape wheel and pallets. I have a 1911 E. Ingraham which is doing the same thing, though the escape wheel is not damaged like this (Yet).

[@jamesmartin5370]

Owner only wanted the strike side ratchet wheel fix so didn't address the escape wheel or anything else on this movement.

[@johnhelt5475]

@@jamesmartin5370 Thank you. I understand. But if you have the opportunity to demonstrate one in the future, I would definitely be watching closely. Love your videos. I learn so much!

[@sooth15]

The gray epoxy appears to be JB Weld. When used properly it's an excellent adhesive, but it should definitely NOT be used here.

[@jamesmartin5370]

Agree, it looked the same color as JB and when used in proper location its a good adhesive.

[@winstonchurchill3597]

Wow that was an interesting one. Looks like a butcher with a glue gun couldn’t have done worse job than the solder jockey that got ahold of this movement. Guess a clock that’s a 104 years old has high chance of the wrong person attempting repairs.

[@jamesmartin5370]

Agree, many of these movements have had a rough life..

[@johncrable3349]

Hi Mr. Martin 👋 ...I enjoyed the video.thank you. A question though. What was the "solvent "?

[@jamesmartin5370]

I tried several and straight acetone finally softened it enough to scrap it off.

[@johnhannon]

Excellent work as usual! Would the spacing of the pallets need to be adjusted after the escape wheel teeth are corrected?

[@jamesmartin5370]

Some repair work should be done before considering the spacing of the pallets. 1st Install bushings to eliminate all sloppy side to side wiggling motion of the pivots, especially escape wheel and verge pivots. 2nd Replace or reshape and rebuild the escape wheel teeth. 3rd Inspect the spacing of the pallets and correct as needed.
