Awesome job on the clock. I love old clocks also. My Grandma's house had dozens of clocks in every room. The coo coo's and mantle clocks and mini grandfathers all ticking and donging and coo cooing every hour,I could never sleep there. Luckily I got a few of the mantles.
Well you motivated me, because you made it look easy. I have an old Westclox clock, similar in design and size of your latest project. I’ve had it for about 25 years hanging on the wall because I like the look, it has never worked for me and it hums. Haha. I guess I’ll be diving into it now. Thanks for showing us how it’s done. Cheers. 👍🏻
You did a nice save on the clock. It was a victim of ignorance. I’ve saved a few my self from similar circumstances. You can hang your shingle outside that says clock repair. Great show, thank you
Beautiful clock! I just posted a video restoring a mechanical clock that has been in our family since after WWII. It crashed onto the floor during hurricane Ian. Synthethic clock oil stays where you put it and doesn't run. Thanks for the great video. Really enjoyed it.
One of the first things I bought when I built my workshop was a school clock. It is from the 1960s and is 18 inches across. It was wired to be networked with the main school clock and every other clock within the school. I had to rewire it, clean it up and build a mount for it because it was made to be integrated into the wall of the classroom. It’s been working great now for over 10 years. I reference it about 30 times a day, and it’s become the centerpiece of my workshop. I wish we could share photos easily here, as I’d like to share what I’ve done with it.
John- School clocks are fantastic! We all must have lots of hours staring at them when in school. You have one of the original in wall clocks! Awesome John! 😃👍
Great clean up. Love the popsicle stick idea. thanks. Your videos always show that a little TLC can bring back a lot of items other people would consider broken and done. Thanks.
Well done on that clock restoration!! That CRC electronic cleaner is the bomb! I used that to clean all of the electronics in my tools after my basement was flooded by a hurricane in 1999. I credit that stuff with me being able to restore 99% of my tools.
I'm always amazed at the extent of your interests. My father was an "ace" tinkerer, always taking things apart to see what made them work and never threw anything away because it stopped. There's no substitute for experience. That's a great old clock and should serve you well. By the way, I have that Craftsman nut driver set and agree it's a classy tool!
😃 I know what you mean some people can take apart huge projects and remember where everything went, I can’t remember anything! I have to stick to smaller projects! 🫣😂👍
Thank you again, John for your time and efforts in making these videos. You inspire us to approach seemingly unapproachable projects with confidence. We love watching your videos. My whole family are looking forward to going to one of the club meets you go to.
Thanks John, what a great repair on that clock, this just goes to show the value of your channel in sharing the knowledge of how to effectively repair and restore items rather than storing up problems for the future ! I had heard that low viscosity engine oils are valued by clock repairers so I have a bottle of 0W40 for this purpose. I love the old 3 in 1 but also use Singer sewing machine oil and a Sony Oil for their Reel to Reel tape recorders and a Marklin Model Locomotive oil that are very light and very handy at times !
Digital clocks and watches are a great example of providing a level of precision that is most often unnecessary. When I look at my watch or a clock I usually just need or want to know the approximate time. As I write this the exact time is 4:24pm. It doesn’t matter if it was 4:23 or 4:26 if all I’m doing is trying to see if I have time to shower before supper and a quick glance at an analog clock or watch gives me that info. Being old getting the detailed info from a digital timepiece means it takes an extra second or two to process.
This is the best thing about Fridays!! That clock is so surprisingly simple. I had one that was a shipboard radioman's one that had two red slices of time on the face to show when it was "silent period" on 500 kc. But otherwise, pretty sure same clock. Wish I knew where it was right now! Thanks for the helpful tutorial!
Grew up in PA in a house built in 1963. The electric kitchen clock was so ubiquitous that the builders installed an outlet high up on the wall over the window at the sink JUST to accommodate electric clocks!
This reminds me reminds me that the house I grew up in (built in 1951) had a recessed outlet on the kitchen wall so you could coil up the cord and keep it hidden behind the clock.
Been watching your shows for years now John.Never miss one, you work so hard informing us all and make them so interesting. Thank you so much! Paul ( UK )
I absolutely love your videos. All of them. You seem extremely comfortable in front of the camera and it shows. I’m always in a better mood after watching your videos than I was before I watched them. Thank you sir, much respect. Dan from Mt. Pleasant, WI
Nice cleanup of the clock John. Forestville, a borough of Bristol CT where so many great clock companies originated from. Just like the circular fluorescent ceiling light fixture you cleaned up, I hope you have a spot for this clock in your home!
Thanks for taking the time to repair that wonderful electric clock. Great session. I really liked your tips and insights, very helpful. I have loved clocks since I was a little boy.
So, the trench tool cover is the same, only different, hhmmm, sounds vaguely military! 😮😊. Enjoyed the tutorial on the clock and the lubricant uses, excellent work troubleshooting the issue concerning the stand offs, the clock came out really sweet, nice save sir. I see your little buddy to doing well and as always, enjoyed watching the flag waving in the breeze, they say it waves a loving farewell using the last breath off the fallen who protected it, thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.
It was very light oil , but tremendously sticky for the gears inside the projectors , some of my best memories as a kid being up in the booth looking out the little window watching a movie .
Hey !John très bon nettoyage de cette montre, elle est vraiment superbe, j'adore les chiffres art déco. Il y avait effectivement beaucoup de graisse, ce qui arrive souvent dans les cuisines et qui risque de bloquer le mécanisme.❤
I made my own nut drivers. Found 6” long impact sockets and made wooden handles and found a few acitate handles heated the 6” impact sockets and pressed the hot shaft into the plastic handles.
Thats a handsome clock. Great job cleaning that one up! Good to know about the oils. I always have the issue of over oiling. That can draw an excessive amount of dust and gum. Took me forever to figure out why the recommend graphite on motorcycle cables 😂
I remember being a kid and moving into a new apartment. My mom needed a clock in her new kitchen. We went to Montgomery Ward and bought that very same model. That must have been 1975.
Those style electric clocks were a staple in kitchens from the 30s all the way to the 80s then they started coming out with battery clocks which I’m not a fan of. 🫣😂👍
That CRC electronic cleaner is great. I have two or three cans around. And on fine gears that are gummed up, such as dial indicators, a drop of lighter fluid (naptha) will often get them running smooth again.
I’m glad you got that clock working. I like the old style too. It’s a shame the young kids can’t tell time on an analog. Now im on eBay looking for a school clock.😂
I lived on South 3rd Street in Williamsburg. My grandparents lived downstairs, we were above them, my aunts and uncles lived above us and renters lived above them. For many years the renter was my 3rd grade teacher! Hey, Miss Maldonado! Anyway, my grandparents had one of those clocks in red on the wall in the kitchen! I'm glad you gut that one to work! Kinda like a jumbo version of Marshall's Wristwatch Revival channel! Great j9b!
Beautiful clock! Btw John, I cut to size and stapled the workshop floor pads from Harbor freight on my workbench and now the bench top sanders etc don’t ‘walk’ when turned on. No need to clamp them…….
Funny about the nut drivers. My first real tool purchase was a vice grip needle nose plier, but a close second was a metric nut driver set for my first car. 75 Toyota Corolla. Still got the complete set and that vice grip. I think I'll be looking at them a little differently from now on.
Nice job...another reason to look inside and see what's up... I said this before you Mr.Crafterman should write down all your things not to do,things you should get,all your concoctions just all your knowledge you learned through experience into a book or pamphlet and see who would buy it...I think people would love it instead of trying to find the info on an old video...would be a real time saver.you could include other U tubers good stuffff...just a thought...🖖
This House (Mid 60s) was built with a Wall Clock Outlet in the Kitchen..........Good Old Lucky, one day getting the tar smacked out of him by Pipes then next thing he has his own apartment with full room service.......Come Spring he may not be too thrilled about Freedom.
Thanks for all of the tips for clock repair. That clock is a beauty. Have you been to the Bristol, CT Clock Museum? Have to go, and be there at noon, when the chimes all go off.
Very interesting video. I learned alot, and thought of my late brother who was a master clock repairman/builder. Its a rare skill now, especially where old, windup antiques are concerned. Thanks for bringing that nice clock back. How did you clean the delicate clock face?
ScoutCrafter, For cleaning electric components look for 1 1,1 TCE (Trichloroethylene) in the ingredients. I doubt you'll find find TCE in California. It should be available in areas where VOC's are not a major concern, wear gloves and avoid breathing fumes. Will Starrett oil work for clocks?
Man I gotta get a set of those nut drivers they are so handy What make were they craftsman make a good set great show John God bless take care 🇺🇸🇳🇿🪖🦅🇮🇱🗽🌟🐕🐝🦔🦔45-47DJT
You were three nuts away from getting it all apart and doing a proper job! Since when have you been scared to take stuff apart? But very proud of the careful job you did getting the hands off. If those standoffs buzz, slip some shrink tube between them and the inner arms. Nice clock!
I think that is kitchen grease inside the clock. Kitchen grease gets everywhere because it travels in tiny vapor particles created by cooking heat, which can easily spread throughout the kitchen.
Hey John, I think instead of putting up digital clocks for the children, maybe they should teach them to read the old ones. Same with reading script - I just don't get it. They don;t even teach them the times table anymore. But they will put things in schools to help them to be a better cat. These are the future leaders of our country. Where's our country going to?? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Depends on the gun oil, the old stuff had lots of cleaners and detergents but the newer stuff is much better although doesn’t smell half as good! Sewing machine oil is supposed to be good also. 😃👍
Speaking of "clock no/no's:" many clock guys either won't touch or will charge double for repair of a clock, if they even suspect that WD40 has been sprayed on the movement. It is reputed to be one of the very worst things to clean up after. Just sayin'_ "Don't do it!"
WD40 gets gummed up exactly like this, and that's the only type of "oil" many households have, since it's so popular, both in the US, but also here in Europe.
Robert- When we were training for MTA Maintainers the had instructors come down and talk about shop safety. There are so many dangerous things to contend with but they all agreed the absolute worst stuff was Brake cleaner. They all warned about the dangers of using it and kept stressing that point. Since then I would only use it outside. 😃👍
Very nice cleaning, diagnosis and restoration. Thanks.
Awesome job on the clock. I love old clocks also. My Grandma's house had dozens of clocks in every room. The coo coo's and mantle clocks and mini grandfathers all ticking and donging and coo cooing every hour,I could never sleep there. Luckily I got a few of the mantles.

Great clean up. Love the popsicle stick idea. thanks. Your videos always show that a little TLC can bring back a lot of items other people would consider broken and done. Thanks.
What a great show today John!! I really like the vintage clocks. Reminds me of my childhood. Thank You for sharing

If you can make Jacktown in the spring you won’t regret it! 😃👍
The clock came out great, I always like the old art deco numbers-
Thanks John, what a great repair on that clock, this just goes to show the value of your channel in sharing the knowledge of how to effectively repair and restore items rather than storing up problems for the future ! I had heard that low viscosity engine oils are valued by clock repairers so I have a bottle of 0W40 for this purpose. I love the old 3 in 1 but also use Singer sewing machine oil and a Sony Oil for their Reel to Reel tape recorders and a Marklin Model Locomotive oil that are very light and very handy at times !
Of all the oils out there the most versatile by far is mineral oil.
The clock turned out great.
Thank you
You’re so right! 😃👍
Another great video. That dried oil was a good takeaway.
Digital clocks and watches are a great example of providing a level of precision that is most often unnecessary. When I look at my watch or a clock I usually just need or want to know the approximate time. As I write this the exact time is 4:24pm. It doesn’t matter if it was 4:23 or 4:26 if all I’m doing is trying to see if I have time to shower before supper and a quick glance at an analog clock or watch gives me that info. Being old getting the detailed info from a digital timepiece means it takes an extra second or two to process.
You’re absolutely correct. Now that I’m retired I could literally get by with a watch that says “Morning, Noon, Night” 🫣😂👍
love the old clocks, especially the big ones like school, train station etc. Thanks for sharing!
This is the best thing about Fridays!! That clock is so surprisingly simple. I had one that was a shipboard radioman's one that had two red slices of time on the face to show when it was "silent period" on 500 kc. But otherwise, pretty sure same clock.

Hi Dan! Thanks so very much! So glad you enjoy them. 😃👍
Really nice clock and you did a great job getting it running again. Love that art deco style.
I think it was grease from a kitchen in the clock. Or many years of being in a smokers home. Good show.
Hi John. What a great clock. You are amazing. Such great talent. You always amaze me. Great info on that oil. Take care. 👍👍❤...
By the way. Can battery clocks be repaired?
Probably , but I just bought a new motor with the hands and replaced the broken one for under $20. Saved my clock
Nice cleanup of the clock John. Forestville, a borough of Bristol CT where so many great clock companies originated from. Just like the circular fluorescent ceiling light fixture you cleaned up, I hope you have a spot for this clock in your home!
You never stop amazing us! What an excellent cleanup

Terry- Like you a waving flag is one of my favorite sights. 😃👍
My father was a projectionist , the oil they used in the old school projectors was awesome. I used that on everything .
I bet you that stuff was fantastic! 😃👍
It was very light oil , but tremendously sticky for the gears inside the projectors , some of my best memories as a kid being up in the booth looking out the little window watching a movie .
Hey !John très bon nettoyage de cette montre, elle est vraiment superbe, j'adore les chiffres art déco. Il y avait effectivement beaucoup de graisse, ce qui arrive souvent dans les cuisines et qui risque de bloquer le mécanisme.❤

Another awesome job today John on the clock. Always nice to see old time (Pardon the Pun) 😂 Resto’s. 👍🏻🇦🇺
Thats a handsome clock. Great job cleaning that one up! Good to know about the oils. I always have the issue of over oiling. That can draw an excessive amount of dust and gum. Took me forever to figure out why the recommend graphite on motorcycle cables 😂
That was a very interesting and instructional video. It sure makes me want to find one of those big old school clocks
Me too John! 😃👍
Beautiful clock
"Snoop" abides (moved him), thxs for sharing...I love that clock too, really good job of cleaning it up...Hi "Lucky"
I remember being a kid and moving into a new apartment. My mom needed a clock in her new kitchen. We went to Montgomery Ward and bought that very same model. That must have been 1975.

nice to see the mouse doing so good.
He’s living large! Loves the wheel and long naps! 😂👍
Love the stencilled numerals on that clock , got a lovely set of Wera nut drivers I mainly only use the number 7 for jubilee clips
Good one! Those hollow nuts are usually known as "Pal Nuts" and are used as jamb nuts. GM used them on their straight six engines (connecting rods).
Yes! They are notorious for stripping out! 😂👍
@@ScoutCrafter We installed them with a speed wrench and gave them a quarter turn. That's at the rebuild factory, I worked at so many years ago.
Another top shelf episode !!!!
That CRC electronic cleaner is great. I have two or three cans around. And on fine gears that are gummed up, such as dial indicators, a drop of lighter fluid (naptha) will often get them running smooth again.

Awesome idea! 😃👍
This episode reminds me of Mr Pete telling stories of the old WestClox factory 👍🇺🇲👊
you did a wonderful job ❤
Really neat project 👍⏰🇺🇸

That was splendid
Great fix and I love that clock! Thanks
Watching you keeps me safe No New! mostly RUclips 😊
I love them kind of clocks awesome video
Oh and lucky’s hands😂 lol
Nice job...another reason to look inside and see what's up...
I said this before you Mr.Crafterman should write down all your things not to do,things you should get,all your concoctions just all your knowledge you learned through experience into a book or pamphlet and see who would buy it...I think people would love it instead of trying to find the info on an old video...would be a real time saver.you could include other U tubers good stuffff...just a thought...🖖
I would love to write a coffee table book on cool stuff and interesting facts about the items. 😃👍
Nice job, looks great!
Very nice clock John.
This House (Mid 60s) was built with a Wall Clock Outlet in the Kitchen..........Good Old Lucky, one day getting the tar smacked out of him by Pipes then next thing he has his own apartment with full room service.......Come Spring he may not be too thrilled about Freedom.
A wall clock outlet is just fantastic! I love little details like that! 😃👍
great video, John
Thanks for all of the tips for clock repair. That clock is a beauty. Have you been to the Bristol, CT Clock Museum? Have to go, and be there at noon, when the chimes all go off.
I think my friend volunteer’s there! 😃👍
Ok, we need to see your wall of clocks.. 🤔... we know you have at least one wall covered in clocks... what kind of maniac doesn't?
😂
Very interesting video. I learned alot, and thought of my late brother who was a master clock repairman/builder. Its a rare skill now, especially where old, windup antiques are concerned. Thanks for bringing that nice clock back. How did you clean the delicate clock face?
I used water and a very little bit of soap however the black on the numbers started to smear so I had to just use cold water. 😃👍
Thanks@@ScoutCrafter
Nice video. Thank you.
Great show. I am shocked you don't know about 3 in 1 BLUE oil. It's non detergent made for electric motors.
Yes- I use it all the time. The 3 in1 Red is the height detergent oil that gums everything up. 😃👍
Beautiful clock! Glad it's back in service! Have you ever tried a mechanical movement? I taught myself 2 winters ago... RUclips University....
Yes! I have a couple I did years ago. 😃👍
ScoutCrafter,
For cleaning electric components look for 1 1,1 TCE (Trichloroethylene) in the ingredients. I doubt you'll find find TCE in California. It should be available in areas where VOC's are not a major concern, wear gloves and avoid breathing fumes.
Will Starrett oil work for clocks?
Starrett tool oil is mineral oil! 😃👍
Man I gotta get a set of those nut drivers they are so handy
What make were they craftsman make a good set great show John
God bless take care 🇺🇸🇳🇿🪖🦅🇮🇱🗽🌟🐕🐝🦔🦔45-47DJT
Gotcha still cold hear🔩🔩👍👍
Hi Scoutcrafter That clock is beautiful. Could some of the shovels that they made be smaller or was that a defective cover?
You were three nuts away from getting it all apart and doing a proper job! Since when have you been scared to take stuff apart? But very proud of the careful job you did getting the hands off. If those standoffs buzz, slip some shrink tube between them and the inner arms. Nice clock!
When removing the plates the gear train always explodes and parts go everywhere. These open frame clocks have everything exposed. 😃👍
I think that is kitchen grease inside the clock. Kitchen grease gets everywhere because it travels in tiny vapor particles created by cooking heat, which can easily spread throughout the kitchen.
Just a shame you can only put up so many clocks! Anything school related I pass up on though😅
Alex- As much as I like clocks the ticking drives me nuts. 🫣😂👍
Hey John, I think instead of putting up digital clocks for the children, maybe they should teach them to read the old ones. Same with reading script - I just don't get it. They don;t even teach them the times table anymore. But they will put things in schools to help them to be a better cat. These are the future leaders of our country. Where's our country going to?? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our school system is absolutely broken, so many important things could be taught that would help them in the future.
I have some cool vintage automobile clock i wondering how or if you could turn them into house clocks
👍🏻🐭
Can you use gun oil?
Depends on the gun oil, the old stuff had lots of cleaners and detergents but the newer stuff is much better although doesn’t smell half as good! Sewing machine oil is supposed to be good also. 😃👍
I had no idea that electrical clocks ever had to be oiled. 😊
I think the last for many years maintenance free. 😃👍
Speaking of "clock no/no's:" many clock guys either won't touch or will charge double for repair of a clock, if they even suspect that WD40 has been sprayed on the movement. It is reputed to be one of the very worst things to clean up after. Just sayin'_ "Don't do it!"
😂😂😂. Yes!! So true! 😃👍
WD40 gets gummed up exactly like this, and that's the only type of "oil" many households have, since it's so popular, both in the US, but also here in Europe.
buy some brake cleaner from auto factors will remove oil and stuck on gung oil quickly
Robert- When we were training for MTA Maintainers the had instructors come down and talk about shop safety. There are so many dangerous things to contend with but they all agreed the absolute worst stuff was Brake cleaner. They all warned about the dangers of using it and kept stressing that point. Since then I would only use it outside. 😃👍
Irish comedian Dave Allen predicted the demise of analogue clocks in the youth back in 1993 ruclips.net/video/0QVPUIRGthI/видео.html
Confuse this new generation with analog watches and cursive handwriting
Mitch- Our grandparents and parents had such beautiful handwriting. It’s a lost skill. I understand why but I miss those days. 😃👍
Taking analog clocks out of schools because children can't tell time on them: TEACH THEM??? Just a thought.
I guess they figure that analog clocks are on their way out. So much for tradition. 😃👍
