Adjusting a German grandfather clock Jauch movement (see description)20221104 150733

In this video I am adjusting the cam for a Jauch 96 movement for a Daniker grandmother clock. The clock was chiming on the 1/4 hour for the 3/4 hour chimes then skipping the half hour, 3/4 hour and chiming/striking on the hour. So adjusting the cam just slightly allowed it to chime correctly.

I do believe the (Star wheel on the minute hand) has one taller point that tells the clock it is fore sure the hour. Once you hit that one, then you can reset the chime in the right location. This was a hard one to show the chime gears because the movement was still attached.

These Jauch movements are a pain to work on. They have to be exactly correct to get them working. There are a lot of parts that have to be timed just right. There is a DVD for sale on ebay specifically for these Jauch movements. So I was trying to show folks what one thing they can do if they are having issues. In this case the cam that I am talking about slipped on the shaft causing the issues. They do have a reset system on them but if that cam wheel is off its location then it will never reset itself.

Hello! I have this exact movement. How long (cm) is the pendulum for it?

[@munnerlyn3]

Like I said in the video I was at a friends house when I was doing the video. I think that he has since sold the clock but I have asked him the question. I will let you know what he tells me.

Sorry I checked with my friend. He no longer has the clock to measure the pendulum. Typically there are numbers on the movement and those numbers are the pendulum length. Good luck.

[@munnerlyn3]

V. G.F. My friend got a hold of the person who has the clock. The pendulum length is 30-1/2 inches long. I hope that helps.

@@munnerlyn3 thanks!

Why does the strike make no noise

[@munnerlyn3]

My friend had dropped the movement. It belons to him. When he did it bent the hammer rods so that is why it wasnt hitting the gongs.

@@munnerlyn3 you should bend them back to hit the rods
