Glad you like

Once fixed, the secret for them to run properly is having a firm shelf for them to site on as the slightest vibration stops the escape mechanism. a display cabinet on a thick carpet is no use, a shelf on a wall much better. Good luck.

Great job on this Mark, I like these clocks a lot and have many, I used to have a collection on my fireplace mantle but most are in storage now and I keep one running in my office,

Thanks. I find one in France few days ago. Welcome here.

Nice job getting it running. I like your idea of tracing the suspension spring assembly on a piece of paper to get accurate placement of the parts on the replacement suspension spring.

You need a suspension spring size .004", (.102mm). You can get it through the Horolovar company in the US, call 740-277-7083, ask for John or David. You can also find them on eBay. The problem is if you do not have the old spring you will not know how long it needs to be as the clock is too old for that information to be available in the Horolovar 400 Day Clock Repair Guide Book. You might find out the length by calling them directly.

Great job

Hats off to you for accepting a new challenge. The more clocks you do it the more comfortable you feel. It is a great hobby. Any plans on polishing the brass? How do you adjust the beat , I noticed there was no saddle like the modern ones that you turn left and right to set it in beat. Thanks.

@mherzog7

Thanks, I chose not to polish the brass as I liked that it looked over 100 years old. If you look again at the video, you will see how I show the set screw that holds he top block, which I turned left or right depending on how I had to adjust the beat.

@@mherzog7 Oh yeah i saw that part, I just was not sure if the whole block turned left and right or just the screws; It makes sense now. Thanks for your reply.

Sorry Mark mi name is christofer. Incredibol.. sorry mi inglish

Thank you for this video, it helped be get my clock adjusted correctly. My clock is identical to yours but has the name URANIA just under the #12. I am assuming it is circa 190? also. I ordered a tension spring as a spare. how long is the usual lifespan of a tension spring?

Thank you, from what I have seen, Urania clocks were made from 1905-10. If you take a photo of the back plate I may be able to identify it for you. I do not know how long a spring lasts. You can email me the photo.

The spring will never wear out. It needs to be replaced when it sustains physical damage from mishandling the clock. Keep kids away from it; they like to spin the pendulum and put a permanent twist in the wire, requiring a replacement.

Thanks for great video instruction! Are these spring lengths and fork location dimensions available on web somewhere? That book is too expensive for most hobbyists :(

I do not know of any other websites that offer the information you need. When I bought my book, about two years ago, it cost $35. I see it on Amazon for $150, but also on eBay for $49 and free shipping. If you plan on repairing any of these 400 day clocks it really is a must have. To send one clock out for repairs could cost as much as $250.

So you didn't need to take out and clean and lube the main spring?

No, and it has been keeping perfect time since. I just wind it a bit every 3 or 4 months.

@@mherzog7 I'm working on the anniversary clock right now too and I can't figure out why it won't run. How did you know you don't need to fix the main spring?

@mherzog7

Ай бұрын

Did you let down the spring, take the clock apart, clean gears, plates, all the parts, lube with a synthetic clock oil, reassemble, use a new suspension spring, and wind the spring just a few turns? Then put the clock in beat?Even if you need a new spring it should run long enough to know it’s working.

I love the video! Isn't it typical to not have the suspension wire intact when finding an Anniversary Clock? Would you mind making a copy of your drawing/tracing and making it available in case one of us is lucky and finds a 1908 clock like yours, since it's not in the Horolovar book? Thank you.

Yes, it is rare to find the suspension spring still intact on these old clocks, but unfortunately, I did not keep the drawing/tracing.
