Oil every two years, but with what type of oil?

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

My Aunt Mercidine has a limited edition Howard Miller that’s been running for about 24 years never oiled and still running will it ever stop soon ?

Good Lord! We haven't oiled our grandfather clock since we purchased it 2008. That said, We have not run this clock non stop. There have been times where we did not run it at all. We have had it as a static display. Clock cost roughly $4000 US. Is it ok to leave the weights on if we are not running the clock?

Do you know how to fix my alarm clock in the middle of the night it turned on randomyl

Lots of telling about oiling, but you didn’t demonstrate how to oil the pivots

How often was that? Every two years?

The Clock playing Whittington chime the different chimes are St. Michaels chime and Westminster chime.

Thank you for the good advice. I have a grandfather clock from my grandfather which arrived from Neukalen, Mecklenburg Germany in 1929, from the clock works where Grandpa's cousins worked. I did have to the clock man in Menominee Michigan a few years back for cleaning and lubrication, and I'm wondering if the pivots and bore holes should be cleaned first, and is it better to use oil or graphite suspended in alcohol as a lubricant?

I don’t believe that my Aunt in South Carolina hasn’t oiled her clock in 25 years now

I would love to have my clock oiled and serviced regularly. Do you know how hard it is to find a clock repair person?

We haven’t oiled a grandfather in years and it keeps on ticking!....

I have a one pointered brass faced Quaker made clock. This is chain driven 30 hour, which has had a hard life on hill farms. I’ve decided to oil it properly and clean it. It was made by John Whitfield of Clifton Westmorland, but the case have been repaired many times and replaced.. It’s been around for 200yrs+.

You sound like Stewie from family guy

I wouldn't fancy taking my treasured clock there!!

Some terrible 'advice' here - clocks generally should NOT be oiled every two years. Clocks should be properly serviced every few years. Fresh ouil on a dirty clock will often free it off and get it running, leaving the owner feeling very pleased with him or herself! BUT - without cleaning, wear will accelerate causing unnecessary damage. As wear take place, one wheel will not 'gear into one another' as stated - quite the reverse!! When this happens the profile of the wheel tooth will not roll across the pinion leaves of the wheel it meshes with, (as they are designed to and the reason that wheel teeth should not be oiled), but will push it around with a rubbing action - causing more wear!! Modern horological lubricants last longer than 2 years anyway! I have over 50 years of experience so I do know what I'm talking about!!

What would Marco Knorr White say to that?

I just assembled an emperor model 571 or 575. Brand new - lain in box for 20 + years. Assembly went well except the chimes do not chime. I went thru the troubleshooting section of manual - all appear fine (from troubleshooting suggestions). I do hear the clicks. The heavy weight is in correct position, nothing appears tangled. The chime selector will not slip into bottom selection. As a know nothing clock person it seems that the chime selector may not be moving out of silent position even tho selector indicates it has moved. I would greatly appreciate your help

Spend more time showing were to oil the dam thing and less time on bushings that ya fixed.just saying

Very unimpressive video. These all things we already know. Video is not according to its caption.

You've got several videos preaching the importance of oiling a clock. Why don't you do a "how to" video?

He doesn't tell you how to oil your clock because he wants more money so he can do it all for you

His arrogance in talking down to us makes me realize why we were able to gain our independence from them in 1776. I consider myself to be a professional (as does the IRS) but the majority of my horological education came from years of studying under 2 gentlemen, one of who's other job was VP of LTV Aerospace building rockets for NASA. I will have to ask him if he ever graduated from the BHI school of horology because the Brits have such an advanced aerospace program. (Tongue firmly in cheek, and oiling mechanical clocks every 4/5 years is sufficient unless you are trying to run up a bill for work not needed?)

Anyone catch how often you oil the clock? I didn’t 🤣

Old timer told me he never used oil... his secret was 1 drop of dish detergent and 1 drop of distilled water , he claimed the oil at the time was too thick and would gum up the movements...

Good cause-and-effect explanation. Thank you.

Found this informative. Got a grandfather clock from an auction. Working well. Should I oil it even if it’s from the 70s and I do not know it’s service history? Some clock shops say oil it, some just let it run. I would think oiling makes common sense. Thanks for any help.

I’m trying to sell a ridgeway grandfather clock that does not have a pendulum and other parts it’s in pretty decent shape how much should I sell it for?

He doesn’t mention the type of oil you should use. Use the wrong type and you could damage the movement. Those so called grandfather clock movements are nothing more than modern chiming movements fitted with weights and chains instead of springs. Useless video all round.

Art saatler...teşekkürler...

Oiling every two years is too much. I've had them in the shop that had been oiled regularly and they were worn in the same places, just like the ones that were left alone. Oiling every 5 years is more reasonable. The movements made in the last 50 years are going to be crap anyway. Most clock makers are lazy and and the current trend is to just switch them out with new movements if they are available. I've caught certified clockmakers spouting garbage that they heard from other clockmakers without any real research or experience on the subject. John Harrison was not a "Certified Clockmaker" and he solved the Longitude problem and many of his clocks are genius and still working over 200 years later. The only people who spout off that you have to be "certified" are the ones who are certified. Most of my repairs are correcting what the last clock maker "fixed". There are many fly-by-night clock repairmen out there, but certification is a huge expense and can be circumvented by reading everything one can get their hands on about clock repair. I learned under two certified horologists and neither could answer my questions after a month of me reading on my own.

I have a HAMILTON WESTMINSTER CHIME 8 Day Mantel Clock. The 3 winding posts in the front do not wind. How can I fix it? Thank you

That clock face & movement shown at 02:34, you date _that_ circa 1810-1850? It's mechanism seems awfully refined to be from that time period...

It sounds like it is very important to oil your clock...every...two...years...!

you ain't got a clue what you are talking about, from Graham.

Very good but you sound so condescending, people who own clocks aren't specialists. They are your customers, don't talk down to them, you may not notice but remember if everyone oiled their mechanism, you might not have a job. Just saying.

What kind of "expert" doesn't know how to pronounce "Herm-lee", didn't bother to research it, and is not even bright enough to read the difference between Hermle and Urgos stamped right into the metal of the movements? If you are this clueless please do not try to pass yourself off as an expert.

What oil is best to use... excellent vid by the way and beautiful clocks..

Tells us it's important to oil your clock, but no instructions on how, where, or with what.

Wondering if you have videos of how self correcting time works

You just need to be conscientious and meticulous. And yes I service my own vehicles even into major repairs and have rebuilt engines as well. And have had no problems after I get my car done, unlike the mechanics, even at the dealerships. Again conscientious and meticulous

A waste of time!!!!!!!! It takes practically nothing to oil mechanism properly. And avoid damage.

What a waste of time, not a word about actually how to oil but 8:29 of bs on why you should oil.

Cool

wow oil a clock 2 years might seem a bit harsh if you gotta take the mech out I have a mantle clock and its been here 10 years never had a service job still keeps perfact time just this year I did have the clock tuned as the chime hammers where way out of tune and had it checked and the beat was nice even and steady no service required as I was told cant get much better then what it is and I haven't set the clock in 4 months and shes still right on time I have a 70s cuckoo as well and its never been serviced still keeps great time.

I took apart and put back together a hermle 351 - 031 movement could you please tell me or SHOW me a pic or drawing on EXACTLY" how the front should be/appear/ to function properly,(all the hardware as it should be), I usually take it to a clock repairer,( eddie takianor something of that kind of name IN ORANGE, CA,), Then I asked the "OC CLOCKMAKER", he said he'd get back to me "on you-tube" but he never did even after I called him and left a message.........please help. thank you.
