Not trying to sound like a smarty but the ring shown being placed into the clock is the identity ring made out of aluminium and cannot be removed unless you cut off the foot. Racing ring is made out of rubbing which can be pulled off easily

I'd love to see a surviving example of the electric. Only 2 photos can be found online. Who as it!! I know you're out there!

Why do you add loud music to your videos? What was the thought process?

Why would you add music to this? The music is way too loud. There should be no music when we need to hear your voice. People interested in this video would rather hear the sounds the clocks make.

6:42 data storage 1890-1970's

If I have one from the same company, but with a receptacle for punch cards, how can I find out how old it is?

Really informative but the music is just way too loud and distracting

Hello Dave, I’m a clock repair man in AL. I’m have 2 of these particular clocks in my shop for repair. Both need suspension springs that I can’t find. What would be a suitable replacement? Thanks

Thank you !!

Excellent presentation. Thank you!

I stumbled upon this video quite by accident but glad I did. It appears that I have a major component of the "John McCaskey electric program clock" except my program wheel looks to be driven by clock type spring movement. Could you please reply back so I can give you my E-mail and I can send pictures for you to evaluate please. This video may have just solved my mystery. Thank you. Chris.

Hi Ralph, Thanks for the note, sorry about the delay. Regarding adding a spacer above the adjusting nuts to speed it up, yes, go for it. I've done that myself, and having bought 150 master clocks, I realize in their day 'a good fix is one that works'. Regarding the adjusting nuts sequence, the nut with the prongs goes on last / bottom. It's a 'fine tuning adjustment, and doesn't have to touch the upper adjusting nut, since it can make small adjustments faster or slower. Have fun. Dave.

6:17 The first two girls in that photo are actually learning how to use Sumlock mechanical calculators! Neat! (It also indicates that this photo was probably taken in England since that's where these were produced.)

Hi Dave. I just replaced a broken suspension spring with a Seth Thomas #2. It works fine but the clock is running extremely slow, so much so that I've maxed out the adjustment nuts on the pendulum shaft. I'm going to add some spacers above the adjusting nut to raised the height of the weights. Does this sound reasonable or might you have a better solution? Also, a dumb question. I have two adjusting nuts, a chrome one with numbers and a black one with prongs. How should they go on the pendulum shaft? (a child in the house removed them and so I don't know the original orientation. Thanks, and thank you for the wonderful video.

hi do you still have your moving eye clock ?

Ton verzerrt.!! zu leise, machemal sehr zu laut, Ohr zu weh.

OK👍

Great video Dave. Subscribed.

thank you very much for the video, there doesn't seem to be much out there about this that has helped me. I'm currently playing UBOAT on steam, and trying to play it on the hardest difficulty setting. it doesn't hold your hand. it forces you to learn some things, this being one of them. If you don't mind me saying, the music is way over the top with volume. I'm finding it hard to keep up with what you're saying in the video. I look forward to more videos though! and thanks again!

Hi Dave, great video. I have a International that has run for a year or two. Suddenly it stopped. If I put downward pressure on weights it runs. Any idea of problem and suggestions to fix? Thanks

just back i think a second generation, second one, the one you try out just now for 20 bucks. don't know what to do with it, its missing the pin to turn and the tool that should be used to turn it

Amazing video, now i am inspired to clean and oil my 1924 SET master clock movement. Thanks so much!

Just got back from the American pigeon museum and had to learn more about these timers!

What speed does (or should) the pendulum swing at? It seems to be different in different sections of your video. Thanks.

Can you recommend a shop that sells this clock?

I'm a little disappointed about the lack of info about their "direct read" clocks that told the time in illuminated fashion, with numerals shown. I.I.N.M., such clocks were atop their buildings at the original 590 Madison Avenue in New York from the mid-1950's to that building's demolition in 1968, and at 616 South Michigan Avenue in Chicago where they would be in that city until the construction and opening of One IBM Plaza in the early 1970's; plus, the original jump clock of the MONY Building (now known by its address of 1740 Broadway) and the time display that was part of the huge Bond Clothes "spectacular" atop their Times Square store from 1948 to 1954.

Thank you for this focus on IBM Master Clocks!

What's the second weight for in the 1930 exemplar from 3:39? Doesn't look like there's a strike train for it to power

What model is the clock at 1:25 on the left? I have one identical to it but with a brass pendulum.

Wonderful and helpful video. I raised and raced pigeons in West Texas in the 60s as a teenager. This brought back wonderful memories. Our timers then had two ‘railroad’ watch movements inside a sealed metal enclosure. I recently acquired a Henry Martens Bruxelles 2nd generation racing pigeon 7:54 timer in working condition. Any idea where one could obtain operating instructions?

Excellent video, very informative. The background music seems to be a bit overpowering to my ears though, could it be removed? Just a thought not a real criticism....

The video is very well made, attractive and informative. The Bulle clock is an ingenious invention. How is the magnet with three poles made? Nice video, but music a tad too intrusive. Reply

Great video! Music was too loud, made it difficult to hear the explanations…which were interesting & informative. Thanks!

I found one of these today. There was a note inside that said pigeon racing timer. If it didn't say that I would've had zero clue what this is. Score for me 🐦

WHY the annoying music !!!!

I have one that has been at a repair shop for 10 months , they say they are waiting on a spring . I'm getting nervous about getting it back in working order. $400.00 for repair with new globe

Video was wonderful, thanks! Any idea where I can get a parts diagram or detailed pictures for the bottom keyhole time stamp mechanism? My keyhole barrel spring is missing, would like to make one but not exactly sure how it looks or attaches, Bundy 1890's clock.

Excellent!

I collected many typewriters and I have three Blickensderfers in my collection, I have no. 6 aluminum, no. 7, and no.9. I have to be honest about it that Blickensderfer are not a good typewriter at all( in my personal opinion) , it’s very flimsy, low quality material,unreliable, and definitely not a “ user friendly “ machine whatsoever, but I do love it very much because of it’s ingenuity design and it’s minuscule size and super lightweight ( which is also contributed to its inferiority) . Great invention but not a good typer by any means. I do love Blickensderfer very much but just like a woman, you love her very much but that doesn’t mean she’s an angle.

Great info. Music needs to go.

Thanks

Pigeon Racing that a first for me..

Hello Dave. Thanks for the very informative video. I need help with a customer's clock. They're complaint is that the winding mechanism has become more noisy lately. I'm not very familiar with these clocks, and I don't know what might be causing this additional/excessive noise. Everything seems to be working okay, in spite of the noise. The only thing I notice that I think is somewhat questionable, is there seems to be quite a bit of end-play in the motor shaft itself. The bearings/bushings all seem okay. Is there any chance that this could be the cause. Can you offer any suggestion? Thank you for reading my comment. I'll check back. Pete

Now my mind is exploding but I will learn
