Yes,I enjoy your videos! I have watched for awhile now, and believe I may have bought a couple of movements from you. I do like the shorts also as I veiw these at night mostly. If it helps you to know what kind of people watch you, I am a 70 yr old carpenter at the end of that career. I like learning and have have an interest in clocks since I was a kid. Look forward to more.
My clock is cable driven so my mount is different... I have 1 bolt on each side of the movement on top... my chime does not stop, found the rack with the teeth will not stop at the end it just pops back up and will not latch the cam , just started doing this out of the blue ?....
Somehow it doesn't seem like I can edit my message but obviously the price of the movement wonder if there are any markups and what the labor charge should be if a guy was starting a clock shop
I'm with Sixbit from 2021, i'm afraid time to end - I used to be inventory freak, it was turbo lister era - with sixbit and along with other marketplaces to manage - to have them super organized is not that important anymore. I update my inventory faster in seller hub too, and these days I try to see if I can do easy listing directly there in seller hub and it's not that bad.
Thank you very much for this video. I followed your method here and was able to successfully perform my first bushing replacements! 8 bushings on the time side of a 1913 E. Ingraham Kitchen clock. It is on the test stand now. I will run it for a few more days, then take it back apart and try the strike side. Thank you for your instruction.
Thank you, sir. I could have used that staking block. I am working on a very similar movement (1913 E. Ingraham Kitchen Clock w/o calendar), and it is my very first experimentation with bushings. I do not have a bushing machine, so I am doing them all by hand. So far, so good.
I bought a used Howard Miller 1050-020 Mantel clock and the balance wheel won't stay spinning. The clocksmith I spoke to said the repair would cost $500 - $600 and said it wouldn't be worth the repair. That's hundreds more than a new movement, so I guess it was the good ole, "I don't really want to do this" price. Is this true, or is $500 - $600 actually what it would cost? I know nothing about clocks but I think they're awesome, and I'm mechanically inclined. So if this is reasonable for someone like me to fix, that'd be cool too. But I'm not willing to pay +$500 - $600 for a used clock that's otherwise worth $300 working.
Hi, It depends on the clock. A 1050-020 new from me would cost $450.00 and would be delivered to you (In the USA) for you to install. This video would help with the install. as far as the value of your clock you can send pictures to this email address. rodmansclockshop@gmail.com
@@JRCLOCKER I’m actually interested in trying to get this one to work. Do you sell parts for the 1050-020? I may buy a movement from you if I can’t get it to work, but I think it just needs to be cleaned. That is, besides a small component that broke during disassembly.
What special tools are needed to separate a ratchet wheel, that is pressed on with a washer onto the arbor? I need to service the ratchet, but it's attached to the Main Wheel. Any tooling part numbers would help, thanks.
i have a clock just like that in mint condition was a General motors gifted clock. im more into watchmaking and would love to sell it to get more watchmaking tools
Hi! I recently purchased a a forestville mantle clock with this exact movement. It appears to keep time well but the hour hand is misaligned backwards (e.g. the clock will strike the hour, but the hour hand shows approximately quarter to the hour). I attempted to remove the hour hand to adjust the placement, but it has proven to be very difficult to remove by hand, unlike in your video where the hands easily popped off. Any suggestions on why the hand might be stuck and how to remove it?
I have lost count of how man counter-clockwise rotations I have made to adjust this and the clock still runs slow. Is there a limit to how many rotations the adjustment screw will travel before something is damaged?
Should the opposite side of the plate be filed before installing the bushing? Or is it only filed when the damage is greater? so that the centering is correct, thank you
I have used those silly chain guards with much disappointment, after installing you have to anchor the black guard's extension to the frame or it will interfere with wheel movement.
I have a 1929 New Haven 8 day Gallery Clock with an octagon dial. With much patience I was able to get it running. Unfortunately, I damaged the pendulum mechanism trying to adjust the timing. I live in Alaska and there is no one in the state that can work on it. The works look very similar to what you were working on in this video. Is it possible to buy a pendulum assembly for my clock or have one made to fit it? Thanks for your input.
If you go to my eBay channel, jrclocker and send me a message with pictures of the broken item. I will set a listing up so you can purchase a replacement. I hope this helps, Jim.
Last year I did this same exact replacement on a Howard Miller Carriage Clock. Still running perfectly. Glad your children are interested in the craft. The world needs more horologists.
i have a waterbury mantle clock looks like what you are working on in this video runs for a few seconds any way of me sending it to you and getting one that has been rebuilt
