I am so happy I found this. It has moved cross country numerous times and I don't think it was ever locked for moving. I am getting ready to move it again and will be sure to lock it down for it. I was mostly looking how to adjust it as it is running fast, but that may be due to it not being perfectly balanced. I will wait until I get it moved before trying to adjust it, but this short video has been a wealth of information.
Nice! Just the instructions I needed. Last week I set up one I received as inheritance from my grandfather, and in one week it delayed about 9 minutes. I need to tinker with that wheel until I get it right.
Just got one tonight from my grandfather passing recently. My granny said he bought it for his mother when he was in service.and got it back when she passed..quite a masterpiece
I have a few answers to your questions. One thing that is very important is that the clock needs to be on a Level surface. To adjust the level most of these clocks have 3 serrated feet that you can turn to adjust the clock’s height. Parts are still available on line. There are many many different makers and models and there are a few different key sizes. If you really love your clock I would suggest you invest in purchasing the Best book available called Horolovar 400 Day Clock repair guide. It is by Charles Terwilliger. This is The book with the answers to everything you will ever question about. Remember to Never Give Up on the things you love. Merry Christmas and enjoy your clocks. 🙋♀️👏
To avoid staining the delicate brass with fingerprints, please wear gloves or finger cots. The brass is protected by a layer of clear lacquer, but eventually the acid in fingerprints will burn through and etch the brass.
My clock has to have the time adjusted often. Seems the more I wind it the faster it goes. I’m trying to now wind it just enuff to keep the correct time for 5-7 days
I was gifted a Kieninger & Obergfell Kundo 400-day clock that is missing its entire pendulum and torsion system. It's entirely absent. Is it still possible to find all of those parts, including the pendulum itself?
Needs a new wire the the balls hang on. Mine would stop after 10 minutes. Took it to a shop and they cleaned it, oiled it, and replaced the wire. Works great now. If the wire is slightly kinked, it will not work properly.
Who could comment what aged are that clocks? I've heen restoring that one and seems it isnt very old. Maybe its produced still nowadays? Also there is no pendel at my one, I should prepare the new one. Can somebody say what is the weight of it?
Hi, i have an exact same anniversary clock. But it is running fast and gaining time. I have tried to slow it down woth the rotating lever above the pwndulum. But it is still going fast even at the slowest setting (i can't make it any slower). Plz help regarding how to fix it
Hi, Lucky me I found you an youtube. I have a German made torsional (Schatz 400) pendulum clock just like the one in your video. Unfortunayely the torsion wire is broke. I contacted Germany but the company has been out of business for many years. Any idea where I could find a wire locally ( here in the USA) ? I have pictures if you would like toi see them. Thank you
