Antique Sessions Model W-6 Electric Clock Troubleshoot

[@simplemanduke7128]

Thank you again, John for your time and efforts in making these videos. You inspire us to approach seemingly unapproachable projects with confidence. We love watching your videos. My whole family are looking forward to going to one of the club meets you go to.

[@ScoutCrafter]

If you can make Jacktown in the spring you won’t regret it! 😃👍

This is the best thing about Fridays!! That clock is so surprisingly simple. I had one that was a shipboard radioman's one that had two red slices of time on the face to show when it was "silent period" on 500 kc. But otherwise, pretty sure same clock. Wish I knew where it was right now! Thanks for the helpful tutorial!

[@johngalanes5264]

I never thought I would learn about clocks on this channel, but I like it!

[@BudBush]

I'm always amazed at the extent of your interests. My father was an "ace" tinkerer, always taking things apart to see what made them work and never threw anything away because it stopped. There's no substitute for experience. That's a great old clock and should serve you well. By the way, I have that Craftsman nut driver set and agree it's a classy tool!

[@ScoutCrafter]

😃 I know what you mean some people can take apart huge projects and remember where everything went, I can’t remember anything! I have to stick to smaller projects! 🫣😂👍

[@BudBush]

@@ScoutCrafter Well you're very good at it John!

[@bigfootscave445]

The clock came out great, I always like the old art deco numbers-

[@colinfblair]

Watching you keeps me safe No New! mostly KZbin 😊

[@paulsworkshop4179]

You never stop amazing us! What an excellent cleanup

[@johnfix1]

That was a very interesting and instructional video. It sure makes me want to find one of those big old school clocks

[@ScoutCrafter]

Me too John! 😃👍

[@paulmitchell5692]

Been watching your shows for years now John.Never miss one, you work so hard informing us all and make them so interesting. Thank you so much! Paul ( UK )

[@ScoutCrafter]

Thanks so much Paul! 😃👍

[@johnwallis5824]

Another top shelf episode !!!!

[@drivesalot0063]

I am a fan of art deco. What a great style. Very nice job, Scout. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@scotthayward996]

My father was a projectionist , the oil they used in the old school projectors was awesome. I used that on everything .

[@mitchd949]

Grew up in PA in a house built in 1963. The electric kitchen clock was so ubiquitous that the builders installed an outlet high up on the wall over the window at the sink JUST to accommodate electric clocks!

[@larrynelson734]

Hi John. What a great clock. You are amazing. Such great talent. You always amaze me. Great info on that oil. Take care. 👍👍❤...

[@larrynelson734]

By the way. Can battery clocks be repaired?

[@jackthompson2132]

What a great show today John!! I really like the vintage clocks. Reminds me of my childhood. Thank You for sharing

[@patrickrhin9152]

Hey !John très bon nettoyage de cette montre, elle est vraiment superbe, j'adore les chiffres art déco. Il y avait effectivement beaucoup de graisse, ce qui arrive souvent dans les cuisines et qui risque de bloquer le mécanisme.❤

[@terryrogers1025]

So, the trench tool cover is the same, only different, hhmmm, sounds vaguely military! 😮😊. Enjoyed the tutorial on the clock and the lubricant uses, excellent work troubleshooting the issue concerning the stand offs, the clock came out really sweet, nice save sir. I see your little buddy to doing well and as always, enjoyed watching the flag waving in the breeze, they say it waves a loving farewell using the last breath off the fallen who protected it, thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Terry- Like you a waving flag is one of my favorite sights. 😃👍

[@larrydemaar409]

Thanks for taking the time to repair that wonderful electric clock. Great session. I really liked your tips and insights, very helpful. I have loved clocks since I was a little boy.

[@ROD59]

Beautiful clock

[@Dalesworkshop]

Excellent repair John.

[@aquariumaquarium8080]

I love them kind of clocks awesome video Oh and lucky’s hands😂 lol

[@joemoach832]

Really nice clock and you did a great job getting it running again. Love that art deco style.

[@overseas_demogod]

Funny about the nut drivers. My first real tool purchase was a vice grip needle nose plier, but a close second was a metric nut driver set for my first car. 75 Toyota Corolla. Still got the complete set and that vice grip. I think I'll be looking at them a little differently from now on.

[@Rusty_ok]

I made my own nut drivers. Found 6” long impact sockets and made wooden handles and found a few acitate handles heated the 6” impact sockets and pressed the hot shaft into the plastic handles.

[@tomdale1313]

"Snoop" abides (moved him), thxs for sharing...I love that clock too, really good job of cleaning it up...Hi "Lucky"

[@357magdad]

The clock turned out nice! Great episode!

[@johnroberts7280]

Very nice clock John.

[@honest-andy]

Beautiful clock! Btw John, I cut to size and stapled the workshop floor pads from Harbor freight on my workbench and now the bench top sanders etc don’t ‘walk’ when turned on. No need to clamp them…….

[@ScoutCrafter]

Awesome idea! 😃👍

[@geobrown9413]

Good one! Those hollow nuts are usually known as "Pal Nuts" and are used as jamb nuts. GM used them on their straight six engines (connecting rods).

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes! They are notorious for stripping out! 😂👍

[@geobrown9413]

@@ScoutCrafter We installed them with a speed wrench and gave them a quarter turn. That's at the rebuild factory, I worked at so many years ago.

[@stevenpressley5956]

This episode reminds me of Mr Pete telling stories of the old WestClox factory 👍🇺🇲👊

[@lotsatrains]

Beautiful clock 👍 really glad to see that working great job 👏

[@troycogan1030]

Another awesome job today John on the clock. Always nice to see old time (Pardon the Pun) 😂 Resto’s. 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@bigDwood]

I think it was grease from a kitchen in the clock. Or many years of being in a smokers home. Good show.

[@lotsabirds]

I lived on South 3rd Street in Williamsburg. My grandparents lived downstairs, we were above them, my aunts and uncles lived above us and renters lived above them. For many years the renter was my 3rd grade teacher! Hey, Miss Maldonado! Anyway, my grandparents had one of those clocks in red on the wall in the kitchen! I'm glad you gut that one to work! Kinda like a jumbo version of Marshall's Wristwatch Revival channel! Great j9b!

[@ScoutCrafter]

I’m a subscriber to Marshal! He makes it look so easy. 😂👍

[@janderson8401]

Digital clocks and watches are a great example of providing a level of precision that is most often unnecessary. When I look at my watch or a clock I usually just need or want to know the approximate time. As I write this the exact time is 4:24pm. It doesn’t matter if it was 4:23 or 4:26 if all I’m doing is trying to see if I have time to shower before supper and a quick glance at an analog clock or watch gives me that info. Being old getting the detailed info from a digital timepiece means it takes an extra second or two to process.

[@ScoutCrafter]

You’re absolutely correct. Now that I’m retired I could literally get by with a watch that says “Morning, Noon, Night” 🫣😂👍

[@myblues6532]

I remember being a kid and moving into a new apartment. My mom needed a clock in her new kitchen. We went to Montgomery Ward and bought that very same model. That must have been 1975.

[@danohstoolbox]

great video, John

[@tonylenge424]

Great fix and I love that clock! Thanks

[@pitaeata8493]

nice to see the mouse doing so good.

[@ScoutCrafter]

He’s living large! Loves the wheel and long naps! 😂👍

[@CalPil0t]

That CRC electronic cleaner is great. I have two or three cans around. And on fine gears that are gummed up, such as dial indicators, a drop of lighter fluid (naptha) will often get them running smooth again.

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Thanks for all of the tips for clock repair. That clock is a beauty. Have you been to the Bristol, CT Clock Museum? Have to go, and be there at noon, when the chimes all go off.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I think my friend volunteer’s there! 😃👍

[@beerdrinker6452]

Nice video. Thank you.

[@Reggyontheroad]

Gotcha still cold hear🔩🔩👍👍

[@patjohnson3100]

Very interesting video. I learned alot, and thought of my late brother who was a master clock repairman/builder. Its a rare skill now, especially where old, windup antiques are concerned. Thanks for bringing that nice clock back. How did you clean the delicate clock face?

[@ScoutCrafter]

I used water and a very little bit of soap however the black on the numbers started to smear so I had to just use cold water. 😃👍

[@setdown2]

Nice job...another reason to look inside and see what's up... I said this before you Mr.Crafterman should write down all your things not to do,things you should get,all your concoctions just all your knowledge you learned through experience into a book or pamphlet and see who would buy it...I think people would love it instead of trying to find the info on an old video...would be a real time saver.you could include other U tubers good stuffff...just a thought...🖖

[@ScoutCrafter]

I would love to write a coffee table book on cool stuff and interesting facts about the items. 😃👍

[@davidspinney2023]

Hi Scoutcrafter That clock is beautiful. Could some of the shovels that they made be smaller or was that a defective cover?

[@nescobaraloplop9468]

You were three nuts away from getting it all apart and doing a proper job! Since when have you been scared to take stuff apart? But very proud of the careful job you did getting the hands off. If those standoffs buzz, slip some shrink tube between them and the inner arms. Nice clock!

[@ScoutCrafter]

When removing the plates the gear train always explodes and parts go everywhere. These open frame clocks have everything exposed. 😃👍

[@onthewrist5006]

Great show. I am shocked you don't know about 3 in 1 BLUE oil. It's non detergent made for electric motors.

[@zaphodbeetlepox6627]

Ok, we need to see your wall of clocks.. 🤔... we know you have at least one wall covered in clocks... what kind of maniac doesn't?

[@Chevyv8man1]

Hey John, I think instead of putting up digital clocks for the children, maybe they should teach them to read the old ones. Same with reading script - I just don't get it. They don;t even teach them the times table anymore. But they will put things in schools to help them to be a better cat. These are the future leaders of our country. Where's our country going to?? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Our school system is absolutely broken, so many important things could be taught that would help them in the future.

[@heyboy33333]

Can you use gun oil?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Depends on the gun oil, the old stuff had lots of cleaners and detergents but the newer stuff is much better although doesn’t smell half as good! Sewing machine oil is supposed to be good also. 😃👍

[@larrydye6374]

Speaking of "clock no/no's:" many clock guys either won't touch or will charge double for repair of a clock, if they even suspect that WD40 has been sprayed on the movement. It is reputed to be one of the very worst things to clean up after. Just sayin'_ "Don't do it!"

[@ScoutCrafter]

😂😂😂. Yes!! So true! 😃👍

[@robertgibson7716]

buy some brake cleaner from auto factors will remove oil and stuck on gung oil quickly

[@ScoutCrafter]

Robert- When we were training for MTA Maintainers the had instructors come down and talk about shop safety. There are so many dangerous things to contend with but they all agreed the absolute worst stuff was Brake cleaner. They all warned about the dangers of using it and kept stressing that point. Since then I would only use it outside. 😃👍

[@mitchjohnson4970]

Confuse this new generation with analog watches and cursive handwriting

[@ScoutCrafter]

Mitch- Our grandparents and parents had such beautiful handwriting. It’s a lost skill. I understand why but I miss those days. 😃👍
