This is a ridgeway grandfather clock that I bought from the hope chest for $60 in 2013. Which is an organization that sells antiques to help tackle breast cancer. This clock has a strange problem where the hands can’t be moved if you do it manually, but it works when the clock is actually running. The hands are the one problem with this clock. It chimes and runs perfectly, the chime was just slow in this video because it hasn’t been used in a long time. The reason the pendulum wasn’t on is because the suspension spring broke as I was trying to service it, so I will have to get a new one. This clock was bought for $600-700 (around $2000 adjusted for inflation) on June 10, 1975 from Ross furniture in La Crosse, Wisconsin. It is the model “Becky Crockett” 138. The serial number is 7165.

Any idea what size the extensions springs are for the hammers that strikes the chimes are?

My chime weights aren't dropping. The center weight drops but the other two do not. Any suggestions?

It's also a Ridgeway.

The chime may not work. It may be silenced. There should be a switch next to the 3. If that doesn’t work then it may need cleaning or oiling.

@samsclocks2084

It might be gummed up or the chiming was set up wrong by a repairman and so the starcam isn’t triggering the hour (largest lobe) even though the hand is at 12.

So my clocked stop working one of the weights to the far right is taller than the other 2.any Suggestions
@samsclocks2084
@samsclocks2084 Год назад
When you say it stopped working, do you mean the chimes stopped working or it stopped keeping time? Some clocks will use a heavier and larger weight on the right side because the chime needs more power to work. That’s why even on clocks that have weights that are all the same size. The heaviest one always goes on the right side.

I have a Ridgeway grandfather clock and it was working just fine a week or two ago. But then the pendulum stopped and although I can get it to swing it eventually stops again. The chimes work. Any suggestions?
@samsclocks2084
@samsclocks2084 Год назад
You may have wound the weight up too high causing the movement to jam
@peggarguilo2944
@peggarguilo2944 Год назад
@@samsclocks2084 yes, I thought that was the case after reviewing all of the videos. So, I removed the weights and adjusted the chains. But it is still stopping.

Where's the pendulum?
@samsclocks2084
@samsclocks2084 Год назад
It is off to the side. This clock runs just fine but one day the suspension spring bent too much. Therefore the clock does not run currently and the crutch isn’t in the movement.

It could be many things. 1. The suspension spring is broken and must be replaced. 2. The pendulum could be crooked. 3. The mechanism may be dry and need oil 4. The mechanism may be gummed up and needs cleaning

there is no pendulum so it will not work without it swinging😊
@samsclocks2084

Because the clock won’t run since the suspension spring is broken
