I believe in showing people how to do a job at the cheapest way possible. Too many people dive deep into purchasing tools and equipment for a job that they think they will do for awhile but things happen and they end of selling their tools/equipment or even giving those items away. I dove deep into the farrier business (shoeing horses) but later had to quit for medical reasons after 6 years. So I dont want people to go out and buy expensive tools right away. If they decide that repairing clocks is what they want to do for the rest of their life and when they can afford to purchase a tool that will make their life simpler then yes purchase it but until then keep it simple. Thanks for watching.

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

Sounds like the movement needs cleaned. Pivot holes cleaned out with tooth picks. Movement put back together and fresh oil. Per Dr Lloyds and Karl Kochmans book the Regula 34 without music takes a set of 1100 gr weights. However per the Cuckoo Clock Repair Manual by William J Bilger a Regula 34 without music takes a set of 1250 gr weights and with music 1500 gr weight. Most people use 1500 gr weights on 8 day cuckoo clock movements. But if it has the original weights then they should work. Check for bushing wear. 8 day clocks because of the extra gears in them cant have bushing wear as that will stop the clock. Again with you having the bob all the way up and it still losing time then it sounds like the movement needs cleaned. Good luck. You can find me on Facebook for further questions. My current profile picture is a drawing that a veteran did while I was at the VA. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Mike. I just happen to have a couple extra lathes. I will send you a pm. Thanks for watching. God bless you and yours.

I went out Saturday and bought some rope that is used for clothesline. I hope it will work. Finding the energy to work on clocks. That is another story. Thanks for watching. God bless you and yours.

It is a cool little clock. I like it.

The name on the back isnt a name but identifies a German patent type system. DBGM sometimes they are DRGM, etc., I have either 275 gr or 320 gr weights. It is best to do the bucket test to see which weight you need. I have a video on that. Good luck.

Thanks for that. I will check it out. Glad that my videos help.

Might be Facebook messenger but I dont have any messages from you.

@@munnerlyn3 I'll send it again, it looked like the right profile as the black and white drawing was on there.. I'll try again!!

Hey, did you get my IM on Facebook?

I dont have a heat gun. I have a hair dryer and have tried that but no luck. Thanks for watching.

It is a cool clock. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Did this because there was a guy in the group asking questions about his brand new clock making noise. I couldnt hear the noise myself. I suggested that he oiled the pallets. He didnt know how. God bless you and yours.

If there is a wire over the cuckoo bird door then flip it down to prevent the door from opening. That is what used to be the night time shut off lever. My sister stops her cuckoo clock prior to going to bed as her husband has trouble sleeping. She starts it back up at the same time that she stopped it.

@@munnerlyn3 Thanks for your informative videos. They certainly help novices like me.

Glad that you got it up and running. Built a miniature pitchfork. How did you do that? Toothpicks? Thanks for watching.

Wire, JB weld, and paint! I'll have to get down there to see you sometime, if you're ever up in KC look me up, you've helped me a tin since I've started the collection!

find me on Facebook. My profile picture is a drawing that a veteran did of me while I was at the VA. Please send me a picture of that pitch fork. One of the guys in my group needs one.

Yes I tend to do that a lot. LOL. People ask me questions so I will get out a clock and try to show them and every so often I end up breaking something. I dont think that I have ever got back to this clock to fix it. That is what happens when you have as many clocks as I have. Dont ever get that many. Years down the road you will regret it when you go to servicing them. Thanks for the comments. Thanks for watching. God bless you and yours.

Cool. I think they are pretty cool clocks. Thanks for watching.

It couldnt be much worse than a cuckoo clock getting all dusty. Around my house that happens a lot. Thanks for watching. God bless.

I started out with a soldering iron and it didnt work. That is when I went to portable propane tank soldering and then to this torch flame. Again I think it all had to do with the type of solder that I used. Thanks for the feedback and watching.

I have tired that with no luck until I bought this stuff. Thanks for watching.

I used two trademark data bases. The best is Mikrolisk but sometimes it can be fun finding what you are looking for. www.mikrolisk.de/show.php?site=280 The second is antiquewatch.com antiqwatch.com/old-watch-brands/hallmarks-of-french-watchmakers.html?fbclid=IwAR1fppQWmeiye-okk_ZUg-_HCZJ9QByJw0t2ueYa0BHiPOBl5vp6WvoiddE#google_vignette As far as your second question I think that you might be talking about a balance escapement. You are supposed to use One dip product on them. Even if you are talking about the hair spring or balance wheel escapement then same thing. One dip. Some people use alcohol but One dip is the preferred method. Hope this helps. Good luck.

You are quite welcome. Glad that I could help you out. Please spread the word to your clock friends on my you tube channel. Thanks.

When you make on make one that swivels. That way the clock can turn. That is my only regret in making mine. Good luck. Thanks for watching.

@@munnerlyn3 mark i have a conical floating balance system in a Seth Thomas bimbam movement. Would like to know how to clean the balance system it has two jewels in it. Balance wheel is stuck

timesavers part # 29192. One-Dip. Says it is for Non-flammable cleaner and rinse for gummed and dirty hairsprings, jewels and pallet stones. Protects and cleans. Use in well ventilated

Try bending the crutch wire which is the wire that comes out of the movement in the middle between where it comes out of the movement and the bottom. Typically that allows it to swing back and forth. Be sure that all the wheels to include the verge and crutch assembly have end shake. Watch the following video where I discuss end shake. If the wheels dont have end shake then the clock will not run. ruclips.net/video/owKc-buaMBI/видео.html

Sr me parece que encontré el problema tal cual como huste me comentó el brazo que está arriba del ancora disculpe no se cómo se llama que es como un valancin lo desarme y todas las ruedas andan perfecto coloco está pieza y se traba terrible mente ,como siempre muy agradecido

Sr, en estos momento estoy mirando su video donde indica el problema que tengo le comento que estoy asiendo tal cual lo indica moviendo la piezas asía a riba y abajo asta ahora sin problema pero la muleta como usted menciona no se mueve al Aser fuerza para asearla girar pero voy a seguir intentando sus consejos

If I were to guess around 1880 give or take. 10 years. It was made after 1850. Before 1850 the time train would be in front of the strike train. But after 1850 they were made side by side. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

I am glad that you enjoy both of our videos. You are quite welcome. Thank you for watching.

you are quite welcome. I enjoy watching your videos. God bless you and yours.

yeah I am sorry also. I was wanting to show people how easy it was. Thanks for watching. God bless.

And that plate is massive. Love the fancy posts. What's it from?

Cutting broaches are tapered. So you broach both sides of the plate as a round bushing is hard to put into a tapered hole. Especially when the plates are thick as in this clock or other antique clocks. That is why it is important to mark your cutting broach and only go in so far. That way you have the same size hole all the way down. Thanks for watching. God bless.

This movement is from my antique grandfather clock that I got in England for the price of a garden shed. It was looked at on 3 different occasions. Once when I hired someone to redo the dial. The other 2 times when I had it appraised for insurance purposes. All 3 times by professional clock repair folks. All 3 times they told me that it was made around 1780. Then I joined a grandfather clock group and was showing the clock off and some folks in the group said that it wasnt made in 1780 but more like between 1800-1850. I think that I will stick with the 3 original peoples estimates as I knew them.

reamers are designed to take out the tapered section at the very end but you use one tool vs using cutting broaches where you have to go from a small broach to the next to the next, etc.,. Reamers are easier to use the cutting broaches when installing bushings. The very first video that I posted on using cutting broaches to put bushings in I had a lot of negative comments saying that you cant use cutting broaches to put bushings in because of what you just mentioned. But if you broach both sides then yes you can and that is how Bruce Rassumessen, a master clock maker, instructs in his video on "General Clock Repair'.

​@@munnerlyn3ok I'll have to check out his video again.

That is your opinion. They are scared of the vehicles. They run away whenever it is started up. You do what pleases you and I will do what pleases me.

LOL. I dont have an attic. I will do whatever pleases me. you do whatever pleases you.

I hope that you learn a lot. I have people that only watch my videos who have repaired everyone of their clocks.

You are quite welcome. It is a cool clock. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching Mike. God bless you and yours.

I have an external hard drive but I put everything on my computer because it is easier but yeah I know I should use it. Yes even after 25 years of repairing clocks I am still learning. Thanks for watching. God bless you and yours.

No problems. Glad that you enjoyed it. Just remember to go slow. Dont get in a hurry and dont push the tools. Let the tools do all the work. Thanks for watching.

I totally understand that. Folks will complain. The heck with them. They can call kiss my foot. LOL. Thanks for watching. God bless you and yours.

I use my cruise as often as I can as it gives my legs breaks. Thanks for watching. God bless you and yours.

you are quite welcome. Glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching/commenting

at the end of this video I show you the GPS coordinates. All you have to do is type in those coordinates to your GPS and it should take you right there. Thanks for watching. I have other places to see in the area such as Hunters Cave which is just outside Grandin Missouri in the town of Hunter on E highway. I give directions to most of the places that I visit/post videos to. It is in a folder on my channel called "Places to see in my area". I hope that you subscribed to my channel which is mainly showing you how to repair your clocks.

@@munnerlyn3 thank you for your response. I really appreciate your help and yes, I did subscribe. I will try the gps coordinates probably tomorrow.

I hope that you find it. If not then maybe you and your husband can follow me out there. Thanks for subscribing.

Thank you. Thanks for watching.

First the tabs or some people call them shark fins on the minute arbor will be two different sizes. One for the half hour so it just raises the lift lock lever and the other for the hour where the lift lock lever raises to raise the rack stop lever. Second if your clock isnt cuckooing on the half hour then it could be the lift lock lever arms have got bent and I try to bend the tab first but typically I end up spreading the arms apart just slightly so on the half hour it raises enough to get the 3rd wheel warning pin out of the way of the tab that goes through the movement. If you bend them too much then the lift lock lever raises the rack stop lever too much on the hour. I have a video on the Cuckoo Clock for Beginner series folder that discusses parts of a clock. Check that out. Hope it helps.

He never did take it to that clock repair friend of his so no I didnt and so far I havnet got an answer. Some people said it had to do with the night time shut off lever but I dont believe it does. Thanks for watching. God bless you and yours.

Yeah I dont buy small mouth jars of peanut butter. I eat too much and feed them too much to buy the small jars. LOL. He/she was very calm and allowed me to take the jar off that was very clean. Not a spot of anything inside of it. That is what it lived on for the time it had the jar on its head. When the jar came off in which I was holding it with my bare left hand and pulled the jar off with my bare right hand it didnt fuss or anything. It was very thankful I feel. I would hate to see it suffer from starvation because of a stupid jar on its head. Hopefully it learned its lesson. If it walked around and got the jar stuck between a couple of limbs it could have got the jar off. Surprised it didnt. Thanks for watching. May God bless you and yours.

Yeah after I did mine I remembered that the NAWCC video mentioned pinging the barrel. LOL. Glad that you got it fixed. Thanks for watching. God bless.

I always use Timesavers.com myself but there are more that them. Hard to find parts might be found at Merritts in Pennsylvania. Good luck and thanks for watching.

I always put it on Westminster chimes as I know what the hammers hit at a quarter pass the hour. Thanks for watching.

@@munnerlyn3 Just a hint and no problem

Thanks

The wire that goes to the wood chopper goes through the slot and on top of the wire that goes from the left case toward the right case as that is a spring then it catches what looks like an 8 point star wheel which those points is what makes him chop wood. Search for Schmeckenbecher woodsman cuckoo clocks on ebay and you will find plenty of them to see pictures. Here is one. Hope it helps. www.ebay.com/itm/126569446047?itmmeta=01J2FSTZ9WRTFRXH7MMRGB2JHT&hash=item1d78207a9f:g:BK8AAOSwnGJmjgfW&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8PRImzj%2BaUkvLGfTbj7n8mLNAcJnBgATp52bIssrXH%2FtW6dGToWvUVHHWrKASC%2FVsKp%2BSv2fUGFY5hT1dMoc9bhTZazs9h2NPg5pCcwWiLuj2lJJGG1YoNNL%2FBbcRUly5T0ms4yC%2Fy%2FWKSiWDPUgU5NJc4fCu6qYdjlwg%2FQ%2Bv18efpSL%2BnaZgSaaPpDpW%2B%2FV4%2BHt7mPyPNorJw9dn8Lm2FPCLQQg9%2BzanSk5Yu72We2UNzsgs9XAoA4Z%2F36xvrIxqAeemi2i4b6jTHg%2B0tFqweWTHdXwQ0RKmo5FvUYaCeFk6W86%2F3aUEhHccs2n4Tjw2g%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_706_mTZA

If you send me a message on Facebook (my profile picture is a drawing that a veteran drew while I was at the VA) Mark Munnerlyn. Then if you are up for it we can video chat and I can help you with your clock more. The 34 identifies it as an 8 day clock. In 1970 Regula started using a date code after the 25, 34, etc., They either used a 2 digit number for the year such as 70 or a letter code. A was the first letter they used and it is good for 20 years so the letter "A" is for 1970, 1990, 2010, 2030, etc. The letter "M" is for 1980, 2000, 2020, etc.,. They didnt use some letters such as "i, o, and the letter y".

I am glad that the video has helped you out. Keep watching for more videos. Thanks for watching.

I agree
