@michaelpalmer4013 Год назад

I don't think this is the full story! Instead of inventing a reason why there is an anomaly over the date- "the date has been added", why not give the correct explanation, which is that the clock is a 'marriage' -the movement, dial and possibly even the case, didn't begin life together. Why not explain to the customer that both movement and dial were originally designed for a striking clock, (not chiming) -which is the reason why there are two separate winding holes in the dial. The original clock would have struck the number of each hour. Those components required in order to enable the clock to strike the hours appear to have been lost. As it is now, it is only a 'passing strike', which strikes only once on each hour. In addition to all of this, you then go on to make a bizarre claim that the wear on pinion leaves can be cured by scraping them with a scalpel -how does this help? Why do you have to invent your own stories for these videos?

@debb8152 Год назад

Possibly because the story is that has belonged to the family and that's what matters. It's not the Antiques Roadshow. I am not sure I understand the scraping of the pin either.

@TheClockwise770 7 месяцев назад

I absolutely agree with you over the likelihood of movement and dial not being original and also the pendulum is a typical Scottish painted bob from the late 18th.century. The striking train was removed because possibly the previous owner did not want it striking. In regards to removing the ingrained dirt from the arbor, I would have used pegwood which is a soft wood and would not make any scratch marks to the parts to do that job

@oldtimer4863 Год назад

How much of the striking side was missing? Because I know very well you don't just find bits lying around from another Longcase clock and they just fit.
