This clock was actually DOA when I got it. Not only did I have to overhaul the movement, but I also had to rebuild the rare 60-RPM rotor that powers it. That one rotor powers all three trains. Fire has never been an issue with these. I did change the power cord and re-insulate the wires inside to avoid a short. Once the dial is on, changing the chimes is not difficult. The dial holds the arbor firmly, and the key tucks away on the back door for safe keeping.
Help, have near same movement. Clock works fine except occasionally stops chiming. I have to reset the chime silent lever and it chimes instantly. Any thought on how to repair?
One of these dual chime clocks is what sparked my growing interest in telechron clocks very recently. I first heard the Canterbury chimes on a Herschede model 10, but then also heard there was a Revere clock that played it on the same rods... Before I knew it, I fell down an internet research rabbit hole and discovered this fascinating new kind of clock to add to my already new interest in mechanical clocks. This one sounds absolutely gorgeous... It's a pity these Canterbury models are so hard to find.
That's a really nice sounding clock, I've always loved chiming clocks. I have an app on my phone called Westminster Chimes, it has the Westminster and Canterbury chimes as well as Whittington, St. Michael's and Winchester.
Well done video! Had no idea it was electric until I saw the synchronous motor after you turned it around. Then saw the red power outage indicator! What powers the chiming movement? Love your information and detail. $105 was a fortune in 1928. Did you somehow lubricate the motor and wheels? I'd be afraid it would get too hot and catch fire and destroy the clock. Too bad it is a little difficult to change the chimes.
Very interesting. However, as I am in Scotland, I cannot consider an electric one, so would definitely want, eventually, a dual-chime mechanical Herschede, either in tambour case, or something else. What I won't find, apparently, is a mechanical one with the Gothic case and turrets. Pity.Thanks for sharing this one.Gaius
@@hellothere9848 You're right, I can, but it's quite expensive and am still considering getting one with several sockets as I have an Art Deco electric calendar clock from USA.
I like the fact you had the lyrics for the 2 chimes.

Beautiful lyrics

The person who discovered and made the first chiming clock was a genius so was the person who made the first clock
yes there are lyrics to each chimes.
Canterbury chime sounds preety
Very interesting thanks for sharing !

Different outlets? I wonder if you cold get some kind of adapter?

@@gaiuscoleman8815 Neat! I wish you luck.
Wonder why clock makers do nat use da canterbury chime anymore
because clocks nowadays use movements from only one brand literally
