Hi cris!..I'm New in your Channel. Could you tell me what you used to Clean the rust in the cilinder of the Weight?... Greeting From Buenos Aires in Argentina.
I believe you're asking... How heavy should your weights be? If so, I'd be happy to answer. The Weights act as batteries. The heavier the weight the more it can move and the longer it can run. If it's lost a very small amount of weight, it will still work. You don't want to overweight it and break or excessively damage the internals. If it runs fast or slow, it's down to the pendulum(long ticking thing). There will be a type of screw on the bottom that you can screw right to speed up and left to slow down. Hope that helps. :)
I think the best part about these old clocks, is that theyre serviceable. Everything nowadays is disposable.
Excellent guide on polishing the weights!
Thank you
Two of my antique clocks need to be polished like this.
This is amazing!! I love watching these videos, this one itself is satisfying to watch.
Thanks!
I went to the automotive parts store and bought clear urethane spray protective coating for car wheels. Works just as well as Lacquer...
Very nice finish. Excellent “How to video”
Very good. Was wondering what to do with one I have that needs some attention.
Fabtastic work! Thanks for teaching!
