As always Matthew a top quality video and series of repairs. This is a clock with many faults but I really have enjoyed your observation skills and the reasoning behind the approach to the repairs. Thank you for taking so much time to share your wonderful skills with others. Many thanks Ian

Top work "Matt"

[@readrepairs]

Thanks mate! Appreciated.

[@dale4034]

Now I need to watch the other eight videos in the series. I very much enjoyed this video. After 200+ years there is a lot of accumulated wear and some questionable repairs in this clock's history.

[@readrepairs]

Thanks Dale, appreciated. Yes, much to think about! Matthew

[@ArtBites]

Thank you so much for posting this series! It was absolutely fantastic. I learnt more from watching you fix this than from most books. Please continue to post these 'deep dive style' repair videos as listening to you explain and reason each repair is so helpful.

[@readrepairs]

Thank you for your kind feedback. I'm glad it was of interest. Matthew

A fatty meal that contains many difficult lessons that require a skill to deal with, but in an interesting and easy way surrounded by experience worthy of appreciation❤

Greta job on a 250+ year old clock.!

[@readrepairs]

Thank you! Appreciated. Matthew

[@160rpm]

I really like this movement. It retains a lot of its character despite all the hacking over the years

[@readrepairs]

Yes, this eighteenth century work is quite organic, manufactory yet still obviously hand-made. As you say, the character still shines through.

[@DuncanThompson-v7x]

A brilliant series. Well worth the time to watch. A good refresher for some aspects and an excellent learning and reference/resource for learning new processes. Thank you.

[@readrepairs]

Thanks Duncan, appreciated! Glad it was of use. M

Brillant workmanship, filming, explanations and insights all along the series: 👏👍👌! Thank you so much for sharing this on KZbin.

[@readrepairs]

Thanks for your kind feedback; appreciated. Matthew

[@rpj1320]

However much your customer paid you... it's not enough. I'm just getting into old clocks and hope to gain a fraction of your knowledge. Bravo.

[@readrepairs]

Thank you! Yes it wasn't enough but that was my bad not theirs. I was happy to do it in order to get footage for this video. Turned out to be quite an adventure! Thanks for your kind feedback. M

[@omarbarrio531]

Hola Matt ! Hermoso trabajo ! Soy segunda generación de relojero .. y amo los relojes antiguos !

[@readrepairs]

¡Gracias por tus amables comentarios! Apreciado. Mateo

[@michaelfonseka7657]

Well done Matt, that was gruelling just watching, im fascinated at the way you have kinda "righted" what ppl in the know would call "dodgy""patch up"" butchering", to its right form. I really enjoyed every second of this 9 part series. One can see the passion you have in getting these old clocks back to original.I love the finish product but love that Mystery clock behind you more. Love your work Matt. Thanks . Mike.❤

[@readrepairs]

Thanks for your feedback. Appreciated. M

Obrigado pelo seu gentil feedback; apreciado.

[@Ray-zu4mt]

Quality instruction for clock repair is a rare commodity these days so thank you for your excellent series. Anything else in the pipeline 🤔. How did you setup the quarter chime to get the correct sequence for the hammers.

[@readrepairs]

Good question! I removed a couple of taper pins in the frame and was able to gently spring the plates enough to disengage the pinned barrel wheel from the train and change the phase relationship accordingly. Yes, more projects on their way. Quite a lot of content filmed, just need to edit... M

[@johncarter-t7e]

The best

[@howtorepairpendulumclocks]

Thank you :=)

[@franklinhoogreef]

Hi Matthew. Very interesting video of a professional repair of a beautiful movement. Love these videos! One question however: Is the chiming not a bit to fast?

[@readrepairs]

Thank you Franklin. Yes I agree, about 25% too fast I would say. Less set-up and/or weaker mainspring needed. I came to the end / limit of my investment in this project. I enjoyed it very much but is over to the next repairer to pick up the batten. Yours, Matthew

[@lawrencewhitmore5016]

Many thks your reply.being 87 and shake to much,i retired.understand your thinking .her in s africa,customers wanr bright and shiny. Many hours in polishing. Here is a tip ii have not seen used before, inguaging condition of teethon wheel place wheel flat on white paper. Spray from vertical position. You can visual any variation in tooth shape. Helps imeasurably in straightening bent teeth. With our currency being terrible 1 pound equals about 25 of our rand i had to make lots of parts. Along with competeing with other" gentlemen who consider spraying with WD 40. Life was not ease. Many thanks your contribution blessings

[@readrepairs]

Thanks Lawrence for your message. That is interesting re profiling the teeth on white paper. Will try it? Yours, Matthew

[@Optiksnut]

Really nice work! Brass is such a lovely metal to work with. I retired from my own business of telescope and binocular restoration and repair three years ago and can fully appreciate what you are achieving. The question for me now is: do I go ahead and service my own clocks, one Junghans the other a skeleton clock. I think I ponder that for a while.

[@readrepairs]

Yes sounds like you will be fine. Take care letting the power off any mainsprings - there is a video on that over on my other channel (How to repair pendulum clocks) Good luck! M

[@kyrbanmagomedov7736]

👍

[@jbranstetter04]

Thank you so much for your excellent videos. They will be invaluable when I finally take my three fusee bracket clock apart to clean and oil. I was very intimidated by the thought of doing it, but after watching your videos I know that I can do it! The only thing I'm bummed out about is that the clock you worked on does not have the silent strike lever, as mine does. My silent strike is not working. I still do not know why. It quickly, almost violently, moves left and right one time, as the quarter hour starts to chime (and it seems loose). When I first saw your video, I was so much hoping that your clock had the strike silence lever. I will have to figure it out on my own. 😥
