NO A I NO Solid Works NO CAD CAM Lathe. Just the caring very skilled hands with Machine Shop Mind to do the hand mini marching. Add knowledge of correct chemistry to stop and remove Rust. BRAVO 🙌 Mr. Martin.

They are an interesting time piece, re-cutting the balance staff pivots made all the difference in its running, ended up being very accurate as well.....

I'm always impressed by the detailed observation during inspection as well as the great care taken to avoid any scratching or marring of the surfaces. A worthy example. I wonder if the alterations to the clock were to allow this to be mounted in a different vehicle with a slightly different install setup.

Sir I have collected the 1876 Seth Thomas Wall Clock, the movement in which 2nd wheel pivot of the striking side is bend, sir if it is possible to guide me that how to remove the bend from such pivot. The movement is completely filled up with dust and rust, please suggest me which compound can I used to remove the rust and make the movement shiney. Thank You.

Beautiful work! And looks to have been a fun repair with some fabrication! Did the customer tell you what car it is going into? Also, how does one wind it while it's mounted in, presumably, the dashboard? Do you have to remove it every time to wind it? Also, how does one get in contact with you about repairs?

@jamesmartin5370 7 ай бұрын

The owner is a collector of clocks, it will be added to his collection, no car associated with it at this time. The styling looks to be around 1910 to 1920s, I am sure someone has a serial number dating system to get a close date. The early vehicles back then had dashes that a person could reach up behind and wind it from. You can contact me at: jamesmart55@hotmail.com

@stevewilliams2498 6 ай бұрын

Would you agree with my theory that a previous owner had an issue fitting the clock into a new dash ? It wasn't possible to turn the retaining nut. They had to remove the ears to clear an obstruction behind the dash and so.had to rotate the clock instead of the nut. That would necessitate the removal of the indexing tab.

@jamesmartin5370 6 ай бұрын

Yes that would explain it. Had also noticed some type of yellowish adhesive that had been applied to the back surface of the screw on bezel that mates up to the face of the dash. Appears someone had glued it in the dash at one time.

Always such a pleasure to watch your work, James. One question regarding the condition of the balance staff pivots as you found them - the uneven wear, and striations visible under magnification that run lengthwise towards the pivot tip seem difficult to reconcile with wear caused to a part that rotates on its axis. There looked to be some bluish discoloration, too. Perhaps a sign of the end of the staff having been heated to soften it. Taken together, this made me wonder if a previous butcher had softened the staff tip and taken to it with a file in a very crude attempt to correct a fault there. Do you think this might explain the condition of the pivots before you refinished them?

@jamesmartin5370 7 ай бұрын

Not able to explain the discoloration, some was the lighting. Staff could not be cut with a HSS graver or touched with a file so was still in a hardened tempered condition. The striations under magnification running lengthwise were previous tooling marks as you mentioned. Not sure if they were left from original fabrication or a previous butcher who worked them over by hand using a wet stone of sort. Uneven wear on the sides of the tips appeared to be from the balance running with poor rotation/amplitude for a long time with either dried lubrication and or dirt and grit between the staff end and the cone bearings. There was evidence the movement had been dipped in solvent and let dry so staff could have been worn by dirt particles left behind after the solvent soak. Conditions behind the dash in older vehicles were very dusty as compared to modern day vehicles.

@@jamesmartin5370 Thank you for the detailed reply, James, it is much appreciated. The dirt on the movement certainly was clear evidence of a previous ‘dunk and swish’ so-called service of the movement. I’ve seen the wear and tear the debris left behind can cause to bearing surfaces in watch movements myself.

What oil do you use balance staff jewels

@jamesmartin5370 5 ай бұрын

In general terms: For clocks with conical balance wheel pivots and steel cone bearings like this one, clock oil. For clocks that have jeweled bearings with jewel caps, watch oil.
