As always Matthew a top quality video and series of repairs. This is a clock with many faults but I really have enjoyed your observation skills and the reasoning behind the approach to the repairs. Thank you for taking so much time to share your wonderful skills with others. Many thanks Ian

[@michaelfonseka7657]

Well done Matt, that was gruelling just watching, im fascinated at the way you have kinda "righted" what ppl in the know would call "dodgy""patch up"" butchering", to its right form. I really enjoyed every second of this 9 part series. One can see the passion you have in getting these old clocks back to original.I love the finish product but love that Mystery clock behind you more. Love your work Matt. Thanks .
Mike.❤

Thanks you very much, useful and informative. Great filming.

Thanks John, appreciated.

I really like this movement. It retains a lot of its character despite all the hacking over the years

[@readrepairs]

Yes, this eighteenth century work is quite organic, manufactory yet still obviously hand-made. As you say, the character still shines through.

[@dale4034]

Now I need to watch the other eight videos in the series. I very much enjoyed this video. After 200+ years there is a lot of accumulated wear and some questionable repairs in this clock's history.

[@readrepairs]

Thanks Dale, appreciated. Yes, much to think about! Matthew

[@user-pi6su1wx7o]

Obrigado pelo seu gentil feedback.

Quality instruction for clock repair is a rare commodity these days so thank you for your excellent series. Anything else in the pipeline 🤔. How did you setup the quarter chime to get the correct sequence for the hammers.

[@readrepairs]

Good question! I removed a couple of taper pins in the frame and was able to gently spring the plates enough to disengage the pinned barrel wheel from the train and change the phase relationship accordingly. Yes, more projects on their way. Quite a lot of content filmed, just need to edit... M

[@franklinhoogreef]

Hi Matthew. Very interesting video of a professional repair of a beautiful movement. Love these videos! One question however: Is the chiming not a bit to fast?

[@readrepairs]

Thank you Franklin. Yes I agree, about 25% too fast I would say. Less set-up and/or weaker mainspring needed. I came to the end / limit of my investment in this project. I enjoyed it very much but is over to the next repairer to pick up the batten. Yours, Matthew

Hola Matt ! Hermoso trabajo ! Soy segunda generación de relojero .. y amo los relojes antiguos !

[@readrepairs]

¡Gracias por tus amables comentarios! Apreciado. Mateo

[@jbranstetter04]

Thank you so much for your excellent videos. They will be invaluable when I finally take my three fusee bracket clock apart to clean and oil. I was very intimidated by the thought of doing it, but after watching your videos I know that I can do it! The only thing I'm bummed out about is that the clock you worked on does not have the silent strike lever, as mine does. My silent strike is not working. I still do not know why. It quickly, almost violently, moves left and right one time, as the quarter hour starts to chime (and it seems loose). When I first saw your video, I was so much hoping that your clock had the strike silence lever. I will have to figure it out on my own. 😥
