What a nice job. I can truly understand why you got a little nervous about making holes in the face plate. This is very strange, but your clock looks very very similar or possibly exactly like the one I got from my sister when she passed away. And I know what you mean a bout the weights. One time the center one came unhooked and fell to the bottom and knocked the plywood base right out of the clock. I don't know how long it will last but I am thinking she got it in the 60's too. I don't use the chimes any longer, mostly they got too annoying. But the clock and moon dial still work very well and keep accurate time. I sometimes in spring and fall need to adjust the pendulum a bit. Thank you for this video.
The clock still kept good time. It's the chime train that's worn out. This clock I believe was made and sold in Alabama. I hope your project is going well. Thanks Glenn!
Wow I didn't realize this was so involved. Good job dad
Thanks!

That was a gutsy modification, executed perfectly...
Thanks Calpilot! There were some stressful moments for sure.
I'm not surprised that you got all of this working... nice job!
Thanks Troy! There were some pretty stressful moments for sure.
