My clock is chime but no strick

Excellent explanation. Thanks for taking the time to produce good content.😀

You know, you could have redid the video with the camera in the correct position so one could actually see what you’re doing. This is totally lame. Embarrassing. 😮

Merhaba Türkiye'den selamlar. Üstadım dikiş makinaları için üretilen Singer makina yağını bu saatlerde kullanabilir miyiz?

My grandfather just kept having issues even after the fix. I finally replaced both hands with new hands and it is working again. The only problem is the chiming is off by five minutes but I had shoulder surgery and taking the minute hand off and putting it in the correct position is just too difficult when I am down to my non dominate hand. I will get it right eventually doing the procedure you showed me.

My grandfather clock dings at each hour but no melody like it used to how do I fix this?

My grandfather clock is Howard MILLER. The hour chime won’t stop and left weight falls quickly to the bottom. What is wrong and what do I need to do? Thanks for your help

Why do I have to slightly tap the "butterfly wing" to start the clock to chime? If I just slightly tap or touch it, then the clock will chime properly. Thank you so much. Anxiously awaiting your reply.............

Wiping the pivots/bushings really isn't cleaning the bearing surfaces. It would be much better just to soak the entire movement in Mineral Spirits for a couple hours, then wash the entire movement in hot running water. Let the movement completely dry over night before before oiling. (if you have an ultrasonic cleaner put the clock movement in that after soaking in Mineral Spirits.)

I have a Seth Thomas grandmother clock. I can't get the right or left weights to move. The center one does and it keeps appropriate time. The outer bars stopped working after my sister wound them . They were working before. Facing the clock the left bar is on my right and the right bar is on my left.

Hey I’m not sure if you’re still doing clock stuff, but my grandfather clock chime melody was off for a while because it confused my grandmother with her phone ring. I have turned it back on with the lever that drops the hammers back into position to ring. The problem I’m having is that the melody is chiming very slow. Could you advise?

Thanks for your intuitive instructions I will attempt to clean and oil my Howard Miller grandfather clock myself I have just ordered you kit to do this. One quick question it is okay to use compressed air or air in the can as it were, on the movement or at least the brass front and back plates.

I can't tell you how much Mike has helped me in fixing my grandfather clock. The strikes on the hours were not correct, some were and some were off. Mike walked me through the repair and now my clock is striking accurately, every hour. Thank you Mike.

Great video,great tools.Thank you,Mike.

Вітаю, дякую вам за працю 😊❤

I’m wanting to email you but I can’t seem to find the address.

Hey. How did you go about removing the backing from the watch movement, once it was removed from the front case?

I've been wanting to do this with an ETA 2892 A2 movement, but maybe in 18k rose gold. Great videos so far. Hope you can finish the series sometime soon!

Please cut to the chase. You keep on rambling and repeating without any action. That's getting boring very fast.

My grandfather clock doesn’t seem to be working so I’m going to follow your instructions on cleaning it and get it moving again, can I buy the cleaning kit from you? Delivery to Australia?

Lowering the rpm's on those larger drills should fix your chatter problem.

Дякую вам за працю,є чому повчитися 😊❤

Дякую вам за працю 😊

Can I take my clock movement out and send it to you to oil? purchased it in 1983 and has never been serviced. don't want to do it myself

What cleaner would you recommend if the clock panels are green? Also the whole movement is very dusty?

Thank you for you're really great guidence and advice.

Like a dummy I left the key in the whining spot for a day or 2 and now it won't chime can you help me please

Sir, I have watch you videos on cleaning and fixing the chimes on grandfather clocks. Here is my problem, We have a Floor model Grandfather clock made by Howard Miller. I was given this clock after working 25 years for an appreciations' gift from a Large Bank on Wall Street, NYC. The clock has kept the correct time and chimes on the hours and every 15 minutes. About 5 week ago the clock stop chiming! I have tried everything seen on google, TH-cam, asking questions on text and emails. Nothing help! Can you help us? It's a one chimer that one tune/tone. Here is the information's on the back plate: F Howard Miller Clock Co. ,REEL,ARID Mo. 49464 - 451-030 H 114.CM - 60, I can send a picture of the back plate if you so desire. By the I can the chime to work for one time and that it until I play around with it again. Thank you for your help. Robert

All 4 of my strike hammers bounce a bit when they strike the hourly chimes. It causes it to sound like a double chime for every strike. I would think bending the hammers back a bit may help but I don't want to mess with them if that's not the fix. Any suggestions?

I bought a Herschede model 629 grandfather clock at an estate sale and it doesn't chime. Can the chimes be turned off. If so, how do you turn them back on?

Good work on doing your trade. Glad you're on the mend from that heart attack. I wonder how many young people are picking up this trade. I'd hate to see this fade away some day. I am making this my third career choice but finding a school to attend on clock repairs is not easy. So watching you helps me fill in the questions I had. Thanks for all you're doing here and take care.

Great video. Wouldn’t recommend hammering that pivot in the headstock. Not good for the bearings

Thank you the oil and grease are great. Tools fell good in my hand controlable. Nice had for a year now

I have a 2017 Kieninger KSU78 cable-driven triple chime replacement movement in a Trend grandfather clock that runs extremely well EXCEPT the chime train recently started running without stopping (until the cable runs out). The clock repairer I used to use has retired, so I am on my own. Is this likely a lubrication issue or something more severe? If lubrication, is it something I can address without removing the movement from the case?

Thank you SO much!! Your explanation of the cable on the gear and the ratchet trick is a blessing!! Thank you, thank you!!!

I’ve recently begun making payments for purchasing a Howard Miller New Yorker (610-160) grandfather clock, which didn’t work for more than a couple hours before with no chimes. Yesterday, I oiled it on the pivots on the back side and some front side ones that I could reach without removing the face plate, but then I realized that the clock does not click or trigger the chimes at all on the quarters. I only hear the warning clicks. It now keeps time and chimes when I hit the chime lever, albeit very slowly, but not at all on its own. The hour chime doesn’t trigger the strike afterwards either. Any suggestions?

Excellent video led me to believe I could perform maintenance on my inherited grandfather clock. And I did!! The implement/oil kit was very helpful. Kudos and thanks!

my chimes on the quarter hour and 1/2 and hr. but it does it early by about 10 mins. any ideas? it is a howard miller ridgeway mid 80's i believe.it does chime on a reg basis

Very grateful for the detail. My stopped clock is running once more

Great video thank you

What would you charge me to build me a shuttle style hand piece? I know what your talking about! I don't wanna engrave coins or jewelry doing motorcycle and car parts spring feels weak not enough punch! I've tried almost everything to get more punch out of the spring style!

Mr Gold was so great in helping me get my grandfather working again after it was not chiming or striking the hour right for almost 4 months. I was about ready to give up. My sweet husband of 35 years died four years ago and gave this to me on our first anniversary so it is very dear to me. Thank you so much for helping me. I got the kit from you and going to watch this video several times to make sure I do this oiling properly. I will look for and watch all your other videos about GF clocks as well. Thank you sir, you made my day, week, and month!

I bought a Howard Miller Bartow Grand Father Clock in an auction about 5 or 6 years ago. I had it serviced and it worked flawlessly. All of a sudden the hour chimes would be off sync. One o'clock would chime 2 or 3 times, 12 o'clock it would chime as many as 14or 15 times. I cleaned and oiled it and it keeps good time but the chime go out of sync periodically. According to the paper work it was bought by the original owner in 1972. The numbers on the back of the works says: Howard Miller No.8197. The model number of the clock is 860. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Tim

I have a Hermle Grandfather clock with Westminister chime - Hermle 461053 H K 23. For a long time it was working well, but then the chiming stopped. I discovered that the chiming drum was turning, but it moved sligtly to the right and didn't catch the hammers. So I put a small spacer in on the right hand side of the chiming drum and then it stayed in position and I could hear the chiming. In the proses I did something, (can't figure out what) and now I sit with a problem: It doesn't chime at the 1/4 or the half or the 3/4, but when the minute hand gets to the hour it chimes the 4 notes, the 8 notes, the 12 notes and the16 notes without stopping in between and it will strike once with the 12 notes and then once with the 16 notes and then it stops.The same thing happens on every hour. I've spent hours trying to fix it and I watched all your videos, but nothing changed. Do you have some advice for me please?

My ridgeway grandfather clock won’t chime previous owner said her husband removed a part perhaps a rod so it will stay silent. Model is 451-033 H Has a letter D stamped on top of brand name. Any help?

Very instructive and helpful. Thanks for taking the time to instruct us.

Thanks try to find a video like this for a while. I think my main spring is stuck made it to from a dowel and using the clock key for a letdown tool clock will run for about two hours then stop but when the main spring is loose, it will run till it needs to be wound, and the problem starts all over again

I’ve been oiling my grandfather clock with WD-40 since 1968 because I didn’t know any better. Any suggestions for cleaning the mechanism?

Many thanks for your videos and the oiling kit! I have a Howard Miller model 610-406. I have oiled it and made certain the chime barrel slides from silent to all three chime selections. It still will not chime unless I gingerly flick the flywheel to help it along. It does not appear that the cables are wound incorrectly. Any thoughts?

Oh my god my dad, preached till he was blue in the face 🙂about not touching the dial with your hands! Nobody ever touch the clock until he passed, and then I got it. Every time he would mind it, every time he would do anything he would verbally instruct me lol. He will instruct anybody who was in the room why he was doing what he was doing and what not to do what you shouldn’t do.
