@@SnowstormsAntiques this clock has the largest cathedral gong out of my entire clock collection and as far as I know if the cathedral gong is bigger than that should belong to triple fusee clock! This is the clock that I them running once again from 40 years of not running!
Yeah I think it’s rare for any kitchen/parlor clocks to have this cathedral gongs! I think the vertical flat gong produces more higher sonorous notes than the horizontal flat gong which produces much lower notes!
Nice clock but the dials been replaced for sure which is unfortunate Either that or it’s a reproduction of a old steeple clock which it could be judging by the dial screws and how overal new it looks Sounds great though
I replaced the dial screw back in 2019 but dial is original since there’s a logo and I have other 2 but other one is from the 1960’s and sharp gothic steeple is no later than 1861!
@@Cobesclocks it to help preserve the spring from winding too tight and limits the alarm but some don’t have one and it’s usually goes off like over a minute!
@@SnowstormsAntiques I set up that way for this video though… normally alarms usually drowned out the strikes but it supposed to be slow mo video but it’s usually messed up almost all the time except for frontier slow mo strikes…
Yeah this movement won’t give up and it’s easy enough for me to take it apart and put it back together to repair the broken strike lever in 2020! The wood that supports the dial will be replaced with new one to fit the authentic dial on! Definitely keeping the original gray iron bell on since there’s no crack or rust!
@@Cobesclocks also no cracks at all since it’s smaller than one that used in pillar and scroll clocks are very very brittle and one drop it’s over for that bell!
@@Cobesclocks planning on after reassembly the case since I need to fix the warped back board by removing from the frame and laying down flat for few days. I have other cottage clock with exact same movement but center gears are solid. So it’ll be much more easier to reassemble!
@@SatosusProject however I need to fix the issues with loose verge wire and that’s why it’s not in the beat and also there’s Urgos Westminster chimes box clock nest to this so which explains the off beating sound…
I had an instrument that produced sound by hertz and goes from 20 Hertz to 200k hertz and I doing that for science though I don’t have this tv or that instrument anymore.
@@nomusicrc I still have this tv however I will be converting this tv into arcade monitors! This tv is made in February 1993 and used to be in one of last blockbuster video stores!
@@nomusicrc yeah I prefer no music for any clock video since it’s better for clock to resonate! Sometimes I have to wait out the chimes from other clock’s while I’m recording.
Beautiful. Surprisingly nice sound for Smith Enfield clocks. usually they sound pretty bad with a note out of tune or something but these ones sound great!. great finds Love the first one
@@SnowstormsAntiques thank you for that since that Enfield is very stubborn to set up… I have that for 2 years and when it came front was falling off then I put specific nail in every inch on front to reinforce. The hammers are original with plenty of leather left and that small smith on right is very difficult to get good sounding since the hammers might have hard leather tip.
Do u know how to fix these by any chance?. My new haven is having some issues on the time side. It ticks but it’s so quiet u can just barely hear it when ur ear is inside the clock. I’m hoping it’s just needing oil but knowing how complex new haven movements are I’m hoping I don’t need to take it out Update: btw I like urs. Urs sounds nice!
@@SnowstormsAntiques I’d take the dial off and oil both sides pivots… hopefully it’ll worked out for you. I have couple spare movements for this clock!
@@Fred-nz9dp yeah uhhh about that. I took the dial off mine and there’s no way to get to the movement from the front. I mean if u have discord u can join my server and I can show u if u like. (The link is in my community post. Completely up to u if u wanna join) It’s completely walled off at the front.
Yeah that chime side isn’t sounding too good. Might be that arm hook/switch. Might be bent a little too low and that hook is hitting that small rod that hooks onto that arm ti switch it off. Not a big deal but I hope that’s what’s causing that grinding sound
@@SnowstormsAntiques I’m planning on doing complete restoration on this clock since I have new dial and alarm mechanism waiting to be installed and maybe change the gray iron bell to white iron bell to improve the sound
@@Fred-nz9dp leave the dial be. It’s the original and it looks perfectly fine. U ruin the value when u replace the dial bc it’s not the original one it came with. I don’t get why ppl replace dials and not care about originality. U want to restore it cool but don’t replace the dial bc that’s the number 1 thing you look at. I get movements they need to be maintained but full on replacing stuff just ruins the value in the clock bc it’s not original. Keep it original
@@Fred-nz9dp so is mine. I’ve had mine for about 5 years. Just recently got the chime side running. When I got mine it wasn’t running at all. Now it’s running 95% perfectly. But for it being almost 142 years old I’m glad I got it the way it is now.
@@SnowstormsAntiques only 2 of my collection are with me for 5 years and it’s Seth Thomas “Shasta” Adamantine with upgraded movement 89T to play ding-dong and red 1899 Ingraham “Minerva” kitchens clock on 4th movement!
Yeah this newly Antique clock even has original hammer with good amount of leather due to soft hitting chimes! 2 years ago it sounded more brassy than now and proper maintenance is the key to make things last years! Honestly I think this clock has one of the finest quality of the time in 1924!
@@Fred-nz9dp yes it is spring powered and has original key it was taken apart and pivot holes cleaned out and reassembled and oiled chime works great now
@@jordanbusby6231the movement runs on 11cm pendulum which makes it second shortest pendulum length and only shorter pendulum length for pendulum is my New Haven “Romany” Westminster chimes tambour clock!
I’ll address that problem and re-oil the movement since this video is over 2 years old and there’s updated video not too long ago but this movement is one of the most complex I ever repaired since it has 2 racks behind the dial and I believe it’s only true 4/4 Westminster chimes movement running on only 2 drives trains but chime/strike has much longer mainspring instead! I might replace the hammer’s tip later on.
