    When you have multiple pendulums swinging on the test stand, do you have any problems with synchronization? Look up "metronome synchronization" if you want to see what I'm talking about.

So not sure what us going on with it, and strike when it want to maybe on the 12, 3, 6, are 9 are not chime at all, and do not strike right on the hour.

  • @jeffbeatman6948
    @jeffbeatman6948 2 года назад

    Bill, We have a grandmother clock I got 6 years ago at an estate sale. Had it professionally cleaned etc. It's worked well until when resetting the weights, one fell off and the chain pulled through. I took the works out (watching a video to do it) put the chain back where it went (I marked the weights so they'd get back in the right order). Now the clock runs great, but chimes the hour on the first 1/4 hour, the 1/4 hour on the 1/2 etc. How do I fix that?

    • @stevev3142
      @stevev3142 2 года назад

      If you removed the hands of the clock then you have it 15 minutes out of time. The shaft that the minute hand attaches to is square. Think about each square being 15 minutes. I did the same thing when I cleaned my clock put it back together. It chimed about 15 minutes before it should have.

    I need to find some brass spring wire .072" diameter to replace 61 pallet springs in a reed organ, Malin Co's web site doesnt even seem to show they have brass wire any more, I havent been able to find the wire. I'm assuming this spring wire needs to be half-hard? from the descriptions on it, it seems hard will be too stiff, I have to make a one loop coil at one end of each 6" long wire, a slight bend at the other end, and a curvature across it's length.

    I just inherited 72 351-020 45cm in a wall clock - but the family member who owned it was having trouble with it and it hasn't been working for about six years. Winding the upper left side seems to come up against too much resistance, as if it was over-wound. (Also wound the right side which seemed OK.) I don't hear ticking, however, and the pendulum stops. Is there a straightforward way to fix it if in fact it is over-wound? I also have mechanical clock oil on hand. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    A month later and i am sooooo excited. Following your calculations, practical illustrations and know how instructions now, for my first time dealing with a jewelled Brocot escape; replacing the jewel on the drop exit pallet, I have:- Replaced the pallet. Straightened (with prepared narrow pliers smoothed and polished from standard long nosed pliers) the delicate "teeth" (and they are delicate - 120yrs old). "Filed them to a "file polish" (with the finest escape file I had). Polished (arkansas) and topped all teeth. Adjusted the span of the anchor to allow 0.5mm entry/drop off the jewel (all teeth now equal length). Corrected, as best I could, (my "not so exact" finish) the distance between the teeth so that now listening to the beat with industrial stethoscopes there is no, hesitation, rasping, clicking or anything other than a smoothest run on each beat. Without your very helpful explanations I wouldn't have been able to get the clock running properly. Many thanks for your generous contribution, work and time in getting these videos to the public

I would have so liked to see what remedial action you took to sort out the escape wheel. the one I have looks a bit in need of TLC but as it is the first such escape wheel I have had to deal with and appears to be very fragile I will keep looking for suggestions. once again thank you for your very detailed and helpful advice and theoried explanations.
