Thanks, to my ear it sounded in beat. I’m not sure what you meant by ‘first’. But I put my clocks in beat, whether it’s a hanging wall clock or a 400 day clock, only after I get them to run. Then once in beat I adjust pendulum for time accuracy. Thanks for watching!
When you first ran the clock after obtaining the the suspension rod it was WAY out of beat. The suspension rod was contacting the center wheel/hour tube. If you had bent the leader coming off of the verge you may have been able to to get the clock to run more in beat. The movement did need to be removed and cleaned; so good work there. With these smaller open spring driven clocks I have wound the springs and then used zip ties around the springs to safely remove them from the movement. I feel that you may be a bit uncomfortable working mechanical clocks but I applaud your effort to try and "spread your wings" as they say.
Thank you, and yes, it was way out of beat. But once I adjusted the length of the suspension rod, I was able to easily get it into beat by adjusting the pendulum position, a bit up or down until it kept good time. These springs were so small that it was no problem handling them. In fact, this clock needs to be wound every day. I wouldn't say I am uncomfortable with these, but every one is a bit different and I just need to closely examine them to determine the best way to get them apart. Thanks for watching!
Nice clock and great work! The final product turned out looking and working very well. Keep on doing these videos for us. I have 4 anniversary clocks and 3 Westminster chime clocks to work on. I took one of the lantern style anniversary clocks apart, but unfortunately while letting down the spring, it got away from me and it did some damage. Needless to say that was a failure. I have 2 other lantern style anniversary clocks that I will attempt repairing before I delve into the chime clocks. Your videos are informative as well as inspirational, at least for me. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! You have to be very careful letting down a mainspring. I have found the smaller lantern style 400 day clocks to be very difficult to adjust. The chime clocks can be a challenge as well. Go slow, take lots of photos, and I highly recommend the Horolovar book for the 400 day clock repairs. Plus you can call them for parts and advice on what you are trying to do. Good luck!
Another great job. I assume you pegged the bushings, checked for bushing wear and replacement and polished the pivots. Normally I oil the movement from outside the plates.I don't mean to be picky. I just want to be helpful.I got the impression this type of movement was new to you.Keep up the great work.
Thank you, this clock did not have bushings, just holes in the front and back plates. They appeared to have no wear, and once it was reassembled it ran properly. All I ever do is lubricate the pivots and the plate holes (or bushings, if that is the case). This was a new type of movement for me and I find that every one is a bit different, which is what makes it fun. Thanks for watching!
don't know if you know, but in those early days people had small modest houses like a studio apartment, this would also likely be their kitchen clock also
@@SuperNathan90Actually, I think it was used in the bedroom. The alarm spring is so small that when fully wound it only rings for 30 seconds. The mainspring is so small it needs to be wound daily.

Well Done.
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
I have one of these clocks at my place in a Thrift Store
Nice. Where?
@@mherzog7 in The Netherlands. you can search the place up on google maps: Het Woonwarenhuis De Springplank, Zoetermeer
@@mherzog7 all the way in The Netherlands..
don't know if you know, but in those early days people had small modest houses like a studio apartment, this would also likely be their kitchen clock also
I did not know that. Do you think it’s older than 1898?
@@mherzog7 possibly as there isn't a stop alarm feature on it. im no expert either but I heard somewhere about it.
@@mherzog7 prob would of been common in a farm house I don't imagine it being a bedside table clock
@@SuperNathan90Actually, I think it was used in the bedroom. The alarm spring is so small that when fully wound it only rings for 30 seconds. The mainspring is so small it needs to be wound daily.
@@mherzog7 maybe right also. just resembles a gingerbread clock to me
Good job, but I think you should put it in beat first
id say it would be an early alarm clock.
Could be a 30 day clock.
I meant, 30 HOUR
Maybe 100 years ago, lol. It stops after less than 24 hours, and I have to wind it every 12 hours to keep it running on time, or it slows down.
Hi buddy
Hi there.
@mherzog7 how you doing
I can't watch this
