Hi Derek. You might want to add the words "Torsion/anniversary clock to your title" or at least "clock". As that are key words that people search for when wanting to repair them. As always great job Derek...........Keep it up. Thanks for sharing this beautiful clock repair with us. P.S. I am glad that you are feeling better.
Hi Derek, I always watch your videos, all very interesting. I am now repairing a Badische three ball and I have fitted the hairspring as the book says but the clock is still running too fast. It is probably that the book is not very clear on those anniversary clocks from the 1900's ? I have adjusted it but it is still overtaking. Is it caused by a thick hairspring even though the book says so? Should I look for a thinner hairspring? What would be the cause of the advance and how can I solve it ? Thank you very much Derek, your contribution is very valuable !
@@charlypergod157 Hi I would thin the torsion spring you have on there how much is it gaining in 24 hours ? th-cam.com/video/OsbF6AeP-4U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hrFSrQjUNiYYp2gw
@@torsiondell It hasn't been many hours yet, I have cleaned, oiled and put on the new Horolovar hairspring. It has been 4 hours since I put it on and it has gone one hour ahead in only 4 hours. I could try a thinner hairspring but it wouldn't be the one in the book. I have had some similar problems with clocks before 1930, it is difficult to find the hairspring that goes and the length, the book is not very clear there.
@@charlypergod157 then it sounds as though the clock is fluttering ( dropping more than one tooth ) just as a test raise the fork 1/2 to 1mm then test for a few hours fluttering is not consistent so you could try watching the escapement for awhile but best way will be to raise fork.
Hi Dell, I'm oldhippy. Did you grease or oil the mainspring. Putting the movement together, have you tried working from the bottom upwards that is the way my master taught me it makes it easier. It would also be nice to show your method of polishing and cleaning. I expect the dome is glass due to its age and not that horrible plastic.
Hi I used synthetic thin Mobil 1 engine oil as I have done for a long time , I put the movement together from the centre arbor outward and I don’t usually have that much trouble, I have done a video how I lacquer but not cleaning and polishing because I thought most people know how to clean & polish but I could do one as I have quite a few more to do and some customers.
@@torsiondell I will check that out. I think people like to know how we get things done. I used to have many people coming into my workshop and asking different things.
Derek a pin cleaning is very interersting ... I am not sure if I can do it - you have inspired me ...

@@torsiondell Ok thanks Derek, I'll try that and if it doesn't work out I'll go with another thinner hairspring just to try it out.
