Thank you for your videos. I have one in my shop and trying to figure out what trips the power to the coils. I have converted it to a 2 "D" cell pack. I would appreciate any help..Thanks, enjoyed your videos. I think you are the only person that has made videos on the the Self Winding Clocks....
Alan, a passing comment you made in the video was that some movements have had the electrical parts removed and it would still be an [accurate] clock. Words to that effect. I'm wondering how the mainspring could be wound without the coils and circuit being there etc? I ask because I am repairing a clock that her Dad had (he worked for the N.Y. clock co; ) and she wants it to function. It would have to be connected to a master clock for it to function/wind?. Is there a modification to function without being connected to a master? WiFi. Signal? The mainspring isn't powerful enough for sustained power beyond a hr or 2? Sorry, I do not have an electrical background. Is there an app for her cellphone the owner can download that can send a signal hourly to remotely wind the mainspring and lastly, what kind of reciever can be installed on/in the clock to receive the signal? Thanks a million! Oopps I just realized it's the cam that keeps the movement wound!! I'll save my post because it might help someone else to figure it out!!lol.
I have a Type F Self-Winding clock that keeps nearly perfect time, but the second hand above the handshaft makes a rotation in 45 seconds. How is this happening?
