You have the patience of an oyster sir!, what a beautiful save. Love that clock. Well done. Adrian

Thank you!

Hi, nice restoration! I just would like to point out one thing: the rubber grommets have a groove where the plate should fit, in order to dampen vibrations. The way you mounted them they only push the plate towards the pin stop in the direction of the dial, but do not dampen vibrations.

Thanks, I see what you are referring to. Next time I'll try slipping them into the plate notches. The clock, however, does run whisper quiet, and my concern at the time was to eliminate the play between the mechanism and the front plate. Thanks for watching!

Another interisting video, thanks. Have you ever worked on a Seth Thomas westminster chimeing clock? I have one and what is interisting is that even being electric the chime works on an spring that the motor keeps wound. There also is a key to wind it by hand to get it started the first time.

Thanks. Yes, I have. Here is the link to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnW5hml7Z9yhgZo. Is this the same one you have? I was not able to get the chime working properly, but did get it to run.

@@mherzog7 My ST westminster chime is a "Tambour" style they called "Medbury" circa 1953. I just watched the other video, a very complex clock. I saw comments that told how to fix the chimeing, did you ever go back and try again on the chimes.
