- This 1940 Plymouth Mantel clock was made by the Seth Thomas Clock Co. I think it was one of their cheaper clocks perhaps, is why they didn't use their name. Just the same, it is still a nice clock. This movement looked like it had Gild on it, (Kind of like a gold spray paint look), I cleaned it off and used a brass polish and waxed the frame.

Here I do most of my work on clocks. Mainly cuckoo clocks, yet I am always looking for the unusual and eye catching clocks. Some of the clocks I get into are ones that need saved from the dump. They fell off the wall from not sucuring the clock to the wall using the stud behind the sheetrock. Some of the clocks were laid to rest out in the garage or barn and I except the challange of getting them back together again.
A well loved clock at one time is one that has a lot of wear and you find old bushings that might need to be replaced.

Another great job Mike

G'Day Mike. love the intricate detailed work. End result a beautiful sound. 👍👍👍🙂 Rob
Thank you so much Robert. A sweet gong or ticking of a clock is music to my ears. Thanks for watching and commenting. God Bless
Well done my friend big like
Thank you John Ames.
Nice deco art type of clock here great work mike love bell hymn
I love this style of clock because of the squarer look and not sloping out for dust to collect. Thanks for watching my friend, God Bless
Good job Mike. Thanks for the video. Love your videos!!
Thank you very much Robert Horneman . God Bless
Everyone remember to hit the👍👍For Mike
Thanks Will.
Cleaned Up Good, Sounds Like A Old Church Bell.
Are you talking about this Plymouth clock or the Nuremberg Church clock? just the same, thanks for the comment and thank you for watching Bat.
@@justmike57 the clock at the end of the video.
@@Iseekoutthetruth Oh my gosh, I am so far ahead on my videos and forget and have to watch the video again myself. This clock does have a nice sound to it. Thanks for setting me straight. I was on the new video of the church clock, lol.
I like very much the way you share your knowledges with us. Super mega interesting. Thank you Mr. Mike. Those who made this thing were total genius. Isn't it?
That is why I work on clocks. Some of them are very interesting to see what they did to get the clock to do what it does. Thanks for watching.
Another great video Mike. FYI when you go to wind up the spring again to put the zip ties on put the gear that goes next to the main gear in. Then put a screw driver in that gear so it doesnt move. Then you can wind the gear up. Then you will have to remove that screw driver to allow the spring to go tight into the zip ties. Keep up the great work. I agree with you that this isnt the quality of work that Seth Thomas normally does.
I didn't even think of adding the gear because I was thinking of just getting the spring back in and keep it from hanging up on the stops. I will check that out next time. Funny thing, I watch Seth Thomas and I think he cleans the clock before he makes the videos, lol. The movement is always so shiny.
That Key is Huge. Pretty Loud For Such A Small Clock.
You want a huge key for easy winding on this clock. With the door shut, the clock is a bit quieter, but you can adjust the hammer for a lighter gong. Thanks so much for stopping by Bat.
Mike good morning Seth Thomas wonderful clocks. I don't know if that one is Winchester chimes has 2 main springs I enjoy learning. Thank you. Have a wonderful, blessed day.
Good morning again Will Glad you made it to my video again. God Bless
That's A lot of gears. Loud Clock.
The amount of gears are the same unless the clock plays a tune. Some times it gets to be mind boggling, but I get-er-done. Thank for watching Bat.
Another thing you might want to do is replace the mainsprings with weaker ones, they're way to strong in this movement
It might be an idea, but would rather have what came with the clock. Also, less money to put into the clock the better. You might be surprised how much I spend in parts and supplies.
Love the E Schmeckenbecher church of our lady clock that you have hanging on the wall. Do you have a video coming out on that one? Thanks for the shout out at the end.
Yes, May 16th and has a part two the next week.
Do you have a video of this clock when it was finished, arms and all. Would like to see it run. How did you cope with the cracks in the wood/paper? Love your videos. Ron
@@mogulsmoke2428 I am guessing you are talking about the West Germany Nuremberg Church clock, If so, there will be a part 2 coming out next Tuesday. Thanks for stopping by Ron.
@@justmike57 Yes, Mike thanks. This is a unique clock, looking forward to Tuesday.
Mike, I just acquired a clock identical to yours, except for the dial and wood finish. On mine the latch on the brass/glass door is broken. Could you post some pics of how it is made, so that I can repair mine properly. Mine has Seth Thomas on the Dial and 9-28-53 on the label so it is probably a newer version. Thanks for the pics. Ron
Hey, Ron. Below my video I have my email address. Shot me an email and I will send you those pictures. I do believe Seth Thomas also used this brand for their clocks and not sure it that is because they might have been a cheaper clock and didn't want to dirty their name incase the clock movement was a fail or what. Thanks for stopping in my friend.
And you still put the strike mainspring eye on the post you said you were not going to use. You wanted to put it back on the post it came off of.
You are right about the post and I am very happy you were paying attention. I figured nobody was paying attention and in the end, I didn't show it, but I took the plates apart and re-set the spring on the inner leg. Thank for catching this and you have a great day.
You would not know this has a pendulum in the back unless you hear the tick-talk. How many days will it run on a wind?
Most these older clocks are an 8 day clock. I think this is a cool factor on these clocks for as loud as they tick. Thanks for watching Bob.
I noticed on the hour only one chime rod is being sounded
You were right on the chime rods. I took another look at it and the second hammer was only hitting half way on the rod so it was a hit and miss on the sound. Good ear Jordan.
@@justmike57 how are you Mr mike
@@jordanbusby6231 Besides my back has been out for over a month, I am doing fine. Good thing I have videos made up through August. Thanks for asking and how are you doing Jordan?
@@justmike57 I'm fine and I hope your back gets better soon
Hello! i have the same clock mechanizim i'm trying to fix, but the Pendolum seems to be sliping after 3-4 ticks, Any recommendations for a fix would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
I am not sure what you mean by Sliping. If you mean the pendulum is stopping, The clock might need cleaned and or fresh oil on each of the pivots, both sides of the movement. Also helps to put a little oil on the paddles from the pendulum to the first gear so the gear doesn't drag on the pallets.
Mike I have one of the A200-018 and I am having trouble getting the count snail to strike the right time. The snail is very weird looking any suggestion?
The lever that drops onto the snail, should drop onto the snail about a 1/4 inch or so from the rising part of the snail when it starts to strike.. The best way is to move the snail around to strike the 12 o'clock hour. Then when the hands move to the 12:30, the lever should be hovering above the 1:00 area of strike. You would have to lift the snail up a little and move it one tooth on the gear that sets next to the snail if you need to adjust it.
