hi scottie, thank you so much for your video, and your expertise, this and others of your videos have been of great help as a newby. once again cheers! paul leate
@@paulleate5768, glad I can help. There is a steep learning curve with repairing mechanical clocks but once a remedy is learned and tested to work, it can be applied to other similar type movements.
Ok done this now. It looks to me that the gathering pallet is a replacement as the cog wheel’s pin has been (quite crudely) filed to receive it. However, it’s now gone back on with a couple of light taps with a hammer. I have an excellent art deco Smiths clock with the same problem so I’ll have a look at that one too. Cheers.
Great video. Gathering pallets confuse me, but it seems that the most important thing is that the pallet catches that pain. I just picked up a German Grandfather clock that has the wrong gathering pallet. It's not shaped to catch the pin, so I may need to construct one. Unfortunately I don't have that skill set!!
Hi Scottie I have just put a mantle clock back together and it has just started to chime incessantly (until it runs down). Whats the first thing I should do?

Great information, easy to understand and to the point. Thank you for posting this and all your other clock videos!
Thanks for your kind comment, I add a couple of new videos every week.
You are the best tutorial I've found for the hobbyist.
Wow, thanks! Glad I was able to help.

Hi Scottie
I have just put a mantle clock back together and it has just started to chime incessantly (until it runs down). Whats the first thing I should do?
Thanks Scottie could you please do a video how to set the chimes once you have set this please
My next project is a triple train chiming mantle clock, due online in a couple of weeks.
Got a nice wall clock from 20s but it will lose sync on chimes/time every few days. 8am chimes 7 etc. Easy fix?
