mineral spirits

Do you just fill up a cup with mineral spirits and let it sit in there for a bit and then dry it off?

Use a very fine artist's brush to gently remove any residue. Dry with a hair dryer set to lowest temperature so as not to affect the temper of the hairspring.

Thank you!

So, your position is that the clocks made today are made exactly as they were 25, 50 or 100 years ago? Nonsense! Today's "standards" are often not what was done yesterday. The way to tell if a music box should run on just the hour or on both the hour and half-hour is to look at the position of the weights at the end of an extended period of time. Say, for example, the music box is set to run on both the hour and half-hour and the weight runs way ahead of the weights for time and cuckoo, it is designed to play only on the hour. If, on the other hand, it is set to play only on the hour and the weight falls far behind the other two, it is designed to play on both hour and half-hour. Another clue is whether the music box has one or two tunes. A one-tune music box is usually made to play just on the hour. A two-tune box is designed to run on both hour and half-hour. You other line of reasoning is equally false. Just because you went to Triberg does not make you an expert in cuckoo clock design. I've been doing this for 56 years. Give me some credit for knowing what I am doing. By the way, where on YOUR channel do I find your videos of clock repair? For that matter, you've had a channel since 2011 and have NO videos whatever. You know what that makes you -- a viewer who makes no contributions to the RUclips community other than to comment on other videos. Probably, as here, just negatively. That's called being a TROLL.

Daniel, as much as I would like to help you now, I simply can't. Usually, at this time of year, I don't do clock repairs at all, as I have my back yard pond and garden to tend to. I am currently trying to get caught up with the clocks I currently have. This year, I'm also helping build a habitat for a beaver at a wildlife rescue facility. I'm 81 years old and things take me a lot longer than when I was younger. Contact me around Halloween and, if I'm still around, we can arrange for your clock repair if you haven't found someone else to do it. Best wishes to you in King of Prussia. Been there long ago. Was born in Altoona, Pa. in 1943.

Definitely unique.

None. Just dirty.

Bellow lift wire. timesavers.com/search.html?q=BELLOWS+LIFT+WIRE&go=Search Is this what you're looking for?

Yes, just decoration. Some parts robust, others not so much.

Glad it was helpful!

What would that be like?

Best wishes for a successful restore. Whatever you do, don't drop it. That's what happened to this one.

@@dperry428I just purchased a 1929 Ingraham mantle clock for my wife that doesn’t run. The movement appears to be complete but in need of servicing. Do you allow people to send clocks to you/ pay you for your restoration services?

I do, but generally only during winter months when I can't be outside. This year I'm doing a number of repairs for someone who normally does his own work but had hand surgery. Contact me around November if you haven't found someone else. (If I'm still around. Each day is a blessing.)

I try

Thanks a lot

Thanks.

Depends on the type of balance. Try these references: ruclips.net/video/GV-2UF9L9NU/видео.htmlsi=PvyZBu1jXQoKYNO8 mb.nawcc.org/threads/adjusting-time-on-old-style-hermle-340-020.80026/ If it is very fast, it may be beyond adjusting and needs a new spring.

It was a new for me, too, and I've been doing this 56 years.

As usual, thanks for watching. Molly is almost as big as the dog now.

More to come!

Thanks for watching.

Thanks, but I'm not a professional.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you liked it!

No, just 2 summers and part of a third working part-time as I worked on my concrete pond, concrete bridge and concrete benches. A day's work would be the completion of a ten-foot section. There are 7 sections in the entire fence. Then, to do the back side, repeat the process. But, I NEVER spent an entire day on the project, so it took longer. It's not as tough as you make it seem.

Yes. I just haven't had time to edit the videos for them. I have 3 videos that need to be done and uploaded.

I mix 50% boiled linseed oil with 50% mineral spirits. Mezclo 50% de aceite de linaza hervido con 50% de alcoholes minerales.

I think that the concept "mineral alcohol-mineral spirits" should be what is known here in Chile as mineral turpentine. I will try to find out more, thanks.

Yes, same thing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_spirit

Ok perfect thank you very much

That's exactly what I do with it and the purpose of using acrylic bonding agent in the mix. Wet the existing concrete before placing this mix.

Thank you!!!

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.

Keep in mind these movements were manufactured with a polished finish. All I'm doing is restoring what was already there. I do use a fine polish made for acrylic bath/showers to restore the original finish. I also polish the arbors when I polish the pivots in my lathe.

Fine sand, Portland cement, Metakaolin, PVA fiber, Acrylic admix/bonding agent

Thank you ALL!

It's called the "minute wheel bridge".

@@dperry428 Thanks for the reply, I actually found the part after and its called "Chime Locking disk Cam" with you knowledge do you know if this part is missing or broken, would it stop making my clock work even if it was set to silent? I start the pendulum but it stops after a short time. so I took the face off and found that little piece was was broken on the back of the disk cam. I'm wondering if this is the problem or something else as well...

Sorry about the wrong part. Your time link gave me a picture of the square brass piece that has the pivot hole for the center wheel. The chime piece will not keep the clock from running and keeping time. Did you try taking the pendulum to the inside edge of the clock? That will cause the pendulum to overswing and set the moveable anchor on the escapement back and forth until it's in beat. These clocks have what is called autobeat and overswinging the pendulum will cause it to automatically come into proper "beat". An out-of-beat clock will not run, at least for very long.

@@dperry428 thank you very much for the reply! I will continue to troubleshoot. Your videos have been very informative

I like the PVA fibers because they are not only mechanical reinforcers, but they also form a chemical bond with the mix to make it less likely to pull out. They are also thinner and don't show on the surface like glass fibers can. Other than that, glass fibers will work. You might like to eliminate them in a final coat so they don't show on the surface.

Спасибо

I use acrylics and clear coat with Minwax Polycrylic.

Yes. With the strike side in its locked position, the pin on the warning wheel will be against the stop lever detent. The rack should be completed in the lifted position. Then the gathering pallet is installed so that the tab or pin that rides on it is in the notch of the gathering pallet. When installing the rack and snail, the snail should be set so that the rack tail that falls on the steps of the snail is in the middle of a step when it falls at or near the hour. When setting the pieces for opening the cuckoo door, the "flag" on the lower portion of the bird perch should be behind the detent of the lever that pushes it in.

@@dperry428 Don--since my Star wheel is pressed on, and I didn't remove it in the cleaning process, how do I do the alignment you discuss in the video? What is the "locked position"? Do I make these other adjustments from the Front side of the clock by moving the position of the teeth in the wheels? As I said I'm a newbie on this and this is the first one I've taken completely apart. Thanks.

That's why I remove the star wheel, broach it to fit loosely, drill and tap a hole and add a set screw. You can either slightly separate the plates to move the wheel train until the star wheel is in the correct position and then disengage the warning wheel (the one with the pin on its side) and move it to the top where it engages the lever detent. That's a real PITA that can get very frustrating, having to do it over and over until things are right. I'd take a pair of pliers to very firmly grip the arbor of the star wheel between the plates and grasp the brass collar on the star wheel with another pair and twist it on the arbor to the correct position. That way, you don't have to separate plates. You just have to be careful when twisting not to put lateral pressure on the arbor and bend it.

So many think these statues are racist. They are to honor a hero in America's history.
