I remember learning how all the mechanisms in these types of clocks worked. It was back in the 70s in middle and high school. It was so much fun. To bad schools don't teach kids how to fix or build things anymore. Now we live in a society where everything is thrown out. I really appreciate what you do.
Yeah, here in germany we do build stuff with wood and we solder a bit of useless stuff and we sew. But not more than that. And the school is not allowed to give us any tool other than a Cordless screwdriver.Almost nobody learns anything in the 2x45min/week lessons. Some people arent even understanding why you need to change the direction of the Cordless screwdriver.
Chris, very nice work, per usual. As one commenter already noted, I was holding my breath, too. It’s one thing if you own the clock, so if the repair totally goes south, you can put in a quartz movement and live with it. But it’s an entirely different matter when you are working on someone else’s antique clock. I can’t wait to see the remaining episodes.
Thank you! This video is just what I need. I ended up with 17 antique clocks (plus numerous spare parts) when we had to clear out our parents home a couple of years ago. None of the clocks work. I've restored the cases on some, but have been too daunted to try to fix the movements, knowing that it's indeed, "not for the faint-hearted". I'll follow your vids with great interest and, hopefully, growing confidence :)
Thanks Rusty. Yes, a little daunting - but certainly do-able! I think you'll enjoy this series as it's exactly what I wanted to see when I was at the daunted stage!
Great video! I'm not a clock guy, but the principles you show work for fixing all kinds of things and that's what got me watching... I'm looking forward to the rest!
I have several clocks that I've collected since just before Covid, Ansonia being one of the makes, what I've learnt from a Clock Repairer/Restorer and his wife is that a little oil is to much, your clock would be described as floating in it 😀I'm an amateur tinkerer and I have a couple of clocks that need a tinker one needs a new pendulum spring from flat stock, I've made a fixture that allows me to punch a 2mm wide slot through the spring steel. Machining that slot in the fixture caused me to stop breathing for fear of breaking the cutter 😄
No shame in being an amateur. It means you are doing it for love. I have taken apart a couple clock gear mechanisms like this but sadly it was only to extract a few pennies of brass!!

"Part 2" will be the equivalent of "How to land this plane" for beginners.. 🙂🙂
Haha, at least gravity will be on side! 🤣
I found myself holding my breath as you took that apart. I hope the putting back together goes as well. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Cynthia - I did too! 😲🤣

Thanks Anita! Yeah, it would be awesome if schools introduced a repair class!!

Clocks are not on my list to collect. But simple repairs are always fun to watch. Gotta keep learning.
Yep, learn new stuff and develop new skills as often as possible! Thanks mate 👍😊
You are one brave man! Good for you Chris, to have a go. Knowing you it will be a total success.
Thanks mate - may as well dive in! Fortune favours the brave as they say! 😃👍

Thanks Elaine! Yes, definitely a little more pressure working on some else's gear! 😲😊👍
You're a braver man than I Chris ( and clearly a more patient one ), maybe one day, but for now I'm happy to observe, good luck on the re-assembly !
Thanks Andy! Fortune favours the brave you know! 😁
Interesting project Chris. There's a lot of bts in there 😀
Thanks Dave! Yes, a LOT! Still - they can only go one way so how hard can it be? 🤣
Great video! Thank you for your work which will help me to fix my Ansonia.
Excellent, I'm pleased to hear that. Thanks for watching 😊👍

Thanks Tom, yes - repair principles are much the same all across the board! Most require lots of patience and good observational skills!
There was movement in Nagambie, for the word had passed around
That the Ultimate Recycler fixes things.....
And I've never even been to the Snowy River! 🤣
Quite a fiddly process, not for the newbies. Look forward to part 2. 👍
Well, I don't think I'm far from the newbie stage myself Alex! 😲
Yikes! Fascinating though. Christine's looking out for you, keeping you from getting too idle!
I honestly don't know what she was thinking! Maybe she loves me after all! 😉😲🤣
شكرا" جزيلا"..فيديو رائع ومهم جدا" لي..لأني مهتم جدا" بالساعات الامريكيه مثل أنسونيا وسيث توماس و ولثم..أستمر رجاءا"..
شكرا على المشاهدة وأتمنى أن تستمتعوا ببقية السلسلة 😊👍

Haha, don't stop breathing for too long mate! 😲🤣
Gee I glad U not me Chris. Can't wait for part 2 cheers Graham
Thanks Graham! It was an interesting journey!
Wow, that's a really delicate 3-dimensional jigsaw puzzle! I'm not sure if I'd have the patience and skills to reassemble it 🤔
Determination is also a requirement! (I don't like being beaten! 🤣). Thanks Ross 😊👍

I shudder at the thought of scrappers getting their hands on a nice old repairable clock movement for a few pennies of brass! 😲
How do you remember were all the Psrts go
I keep different sections separate which helps George! And I can always look back and the footage 😊👍
