When I have stuck hands on a cuckoo clock, I use a drop or two of clock oil and wait for the count of 15, if that don't work, I use the hot glue gun tip after heated and heat the stuck nut. Works great. I will have to check out that Howards Restore. Seems to work quite well. Great camera work and nice job on the electric clock, Mark.
I love unique clocks like this. You did a great job on the repairs and replacing missing parts, i was thinking before you installed the washers , which worked great, maybe a couple of springs to put pressure on the back plate, always more than one solution. My latest oddity clock is one shaped like a phone with the clock where the dial should be and a electric cigarette lighter in the handset. A lanshire clock with the phone made by Alba Art maybe late 50s or 60s. Thanks and i really enjoy your videos , very motivating.
Hi Mark, great work on this clock. I recently bought a ST electric tambour clock "Lynton" model from 1949 for $5 at an outdoor antique show. The seller had no idea if it worked but when I got it home and plugged it in it ran fine. It chomes on the hour and half hour on a chime rod and has been running fine for a week now. Sometimed I get lucky.
Mark - did you get the hour strike to chime correctly?? Just picked up a working one of these beauties! It did not chime on the hour when advancing manually, only the half hour. When I let it power through the hour on its own- it chimes correctly
I have repaired 2 of these, both strike at the 6. I adjusted the hands so they would strike at the 12. But both had a discernable click, initially at the 12, then after adjustment at the 6. I found the click annoying. On the second clock I removed the part responsible for the click. Do you hear a click at the 6?
Great looking clock indeed!! Great explanation, I'm always wanting to break out some of my oldies to repair after seeing your vids, thanks!!!

Thanks, I do not have any springs that small but the fit was perfect with the washers.

Thanks, and yes, sometimes you get lucky!
I have a wooden desk ingraham clock. I have never seen another, but this is similar. I wish I knew more about it
Does it run?
Another great job! I would have liked you to remove the rust. You can do ti with a Dremel and a wire wheel, just saying.
Thanks, I can try that.
