Beautiful restoration - my father owned a machine shop which only makes me appreciate your "old world craftmanship" more than most - he did not have every tool or part readily available but he was able to produce some incredible work - just like yours. I might have some old "parts" watches that need repair - would you be interested in some viewer funded projects? I enjoy your videos greatly - I look forward to watching more of then in the future. Thank you Paul

I could be wrong, but from the sound of the clock, when it's face up, it works erratically, when it's face down, the sound is beautiful, good amplitude. In any case, the restoration was good.

I can hear when you turn it over with the face up, there's a... "decrease"? in the ticking sound or sounds lower than when the face is down

Amazing work. At one point, when you pointed out the broken crown tube, I was asking myself "How is he going to replace that?" Then you bought out the giant box of crown tube whoop ass. Then you did it again for the balance staff. What's it look like on a timegraph? Also, what oil are you using? As a recall, whale oil was used on these watches originally.

I think the movement came out of a hunting case pocket watch . The case was for an open face pocket watch with number 12 at the winding stem. The original hunting case was probably sold for the gold .

Wow. Wonderful job. As soon as I saw the dial clean up 8 knew you had a winner. Now a question from the peanut gallery: you have a seemingly excellent set up, why no parts washer?
@FleaMarketRestorations3 жыл бұрын
Thank you :) Yeah I do have the parts washer but I am turning it on only when necessary. Usually I just dip the parts in the solvent and leave it for some time. For most of cases this is enough.

@@maestromecanico597 parts washer, of course, and it gives the parts an extra shine. Even though I keep the washer in the open ammonia smell is very unpleasant, and I find it easier to wash it in the solvent in the old way, if the watch I'm working on is not too dirty.

Quite a job smearing epoxy all over the crystal instead of UV-cured cement. I couldn't help noticing that the minute and seconds hands are wrong for this model; neither are Seth Thomas factory stock.

Isn't benzene deadly toxic?
@FleaMarketRestorations3 жыл бұрын
Where I live, it's called medical grade benzine, and is widely used in hospitals and cosmetic industry for disinfection and as a solvent. I think it's not the same thing as benzene. I found it's also called "petroleum ether" or "wound petrol". As with any strong chemical, should be used with caution, away from fire and in well ventialed area.
