I remember taking my mother’s dainty wrist watches apart that had seized up and gently rebuilding them as you did with this clock when I was a girl. Now, MS has taken away my fine motor skills, but I do admire your talents Chris! ~ Sandra
Good job Chris. These are just the jobs for your situation, all those fiddly time consuming little jobs that don't require muscle 💪.Hope you get a good price when it sells. 👍
Super job, Chris. Repair and re-use whenever the oportunity arises. I have two questions: 1) could you have made a new terminal out of, say, 1mm sheet, if it was more badly corroded? 2) is the Junghans name on the clock-face supposed to be wonky?
Thanks SD! Yes, that would have been the plan if the corrosion was worse - in fact, that's what I did with the other starburst clock repair that I linked. As for the name - I don't think so, but as it is such a delicate piece I decided to leave it alone..
I am more of a vintage pottery and glass lover but I can appreciate that clock with fervor. LOL It is a beautiful piece I think the right buyer will definitely pay that. Great job Chris. I want to do some electrolysis and plating but keep putting it off out of a slight fear of doing something wrong. Chemistry not my strong subject in school. I'll have to watch your videos again. LOL
@@TheUltimateRecycler Just those fancy government looking clocks lol I think they are wired straight into AC, probably had them at schools too. I'll get the brand next time I go past one
Do you still have your shop? I have been a regular customer until I no longer make the treck to NSW as my Mum passed away 5 years ago. I repaired one of my 3 Junghams clocks, thanks for your video.
I have a different model clock from this range, with the exact same movement (the W736) but one side of the terminal was completely rusted out. How would I refabricate such a small and complex shaped metal?
That can be tricky Nathan! I have used modified metal brackets from other things, and sometimes even used reclaimed springs from battery holders in all sorts of items to fix a job. The other option is to keep an eye on ebay or other markets for a non-working movement (which may have other problems), as a donor. Good luck 😊
@@OGCJ10 Original Junghans movements are quite hard to get whereas modern quartz movements can be as cheap as a couple of dollars! Often these clocks have had the movement replaced when the original one stopped working. If original it will have "Junghans" written on it..
Good job with the restoration, but you need to try harder to no use your right arm/hand. If your Doctor watches your channel, you are going to get yelled at!

That repair was absolutely fascinating. I love to learn how things work and you seem to know how to fix anything. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Cynthia! Thank you 😊
Nicely fixed and good to see your right hand starting to help...
It's going to be more and more difficult to make my right arm behave as it heals Martin! Hand and fingers are ok to use for now I think. Thanks mate 😊
Great repair video Chris, pleased to see you can use right hand a little
Thanks Leo! It's starting to feel better, which means I have to be more careful not to do too much with it!

Many thanks Sandra! Sorry to hear of the MS 😟
Hey, hey welcome back Chris. Hope all is well. Been looking forward to this repair.
Thanks NN, things going pretty well considering! 😊👍
Nice to have you back Chris, nice job 👍
✌♥️🇬🇧
Thanks Les! 👍😊
Nice work Chris, I was going to offer $11 for a tidy profit when you said $700 I was crestfallen 😄😄
Haha, just a little short Dave! 🤣
Nice job Chris. Fantastic to see these items back to working as they should, and fun to watch the process.
Thanks Katrina! Yes, the best way to recycle is to bring items back to a useful life 😊😊
Glad to see repair videos are back, good repair ! Cheers.
Cheers mate! 👍
Nice job Chris. I really enjoy the repair videos.
That's great Christine, I have about 50 years worth of them ahead of me!! 😲😆
Good job Chris. These are just the jobs for your situation, all those fiddly time consuming little jobs that don't require muscle 💪.Hope you get a good price when it sells. 👍
Thanks AF. Yep, will be doing a few clocks and small fiddly jobs for awhile! Hope you guys don't get sick of them!
Super job, Chris. Repair and re-use whenever the oportunity arises.
I have two questions:
1) could you have made a new terminal out of, say, 1mm sheet, if it was more badly corroded?
2) is the Junghans name on the clock-face supposed to be wonky?

You have way more finesse than I, I was expecting the top of the clip to go straight up your nail, it would have for me. Nice repair Chris.
Ah yes Ian, more finesse maybe - but I don't have your brick hammer skills! 😆
Very cool retro clock, well done.😊
Thanks RA! 👍😊

Thanks Laura! Best just jump in and have a go - the great thing about doing something wrong is that it's an excellent learning situation! 👍😊
800!, how much do the old post office clocks go for, that's my dream clock
Depends on what type you mean mate, but probably not as much as these type!

@@Jasonsadventures Ah yes, schools & railway stations too - and they are mains powered. I have a few to restore 👍😊

Yes Barbara, still have a shop in the main street - but have moved next door to my old shop 😊😊

Does anyone have this particular Junghans they would be willing to sell?
They do turn up on ebay from time to time - just make sure you don't pay big money for one with a replacement modern quartz movement! Good luck 😊
@@TheUltimateRecycler Why is that? And how would I be able to tell? I am new to all of this so excuse the ignorance. I'm trying to learn.

I really am trying!! It's so difficult not to use it at all!! Thanks Rick 😊
