@jimfuente7699, I have structured the lessons so that people can find out if they like clock repair before buying expensive tools.

Enjoyed this fascinating lesson as well. Whetting my appetite for more and will wait patiently for Lesson 4.😀👍

@munnerlyn3, thanks lots more planned, I'll need to start shooting again soon.

Saved by the clocks and your timing, may your hands kept moving and keep from getting wound up. Thanks

What if the time main spring has broken, and you don't have a large enough clamp to fit? Thank you dor these lessons, Scottie...

You can use electrical cable ties, but make sure they are 4.6mm wide (to be strong enough), the standard 2.5mm are not strong enough.

@@ScottiesClockWorld Thank you, this makes good sense. I have a New Haven cottage style clock that as I wound it, I heard a "Snap" and then I think the key just turns. My problem lately has been finding time enough to spend with my little family of clocks!

@@davestelling , possibly a broken spring, or the winding arbor might have slipped of the hook end of the mainspring. I agree, there is never enough time in the day to spend with your clocks.

I have a couple of issues with the movement I am trying to fix. The first issue is setting up the lift lever and the lever that lifts it (sorry I don’t know the name of it). I cannot get it in the right position. It will not move no matter where I have the bracket positioned with the time side. It is a F. Krober1874 . I also have this bracket or maybe it is a clip that has 3 points on it, I know if came off the clock when I took it apart but I do not know where is goes on the spring. The spring on the strike side has too much play and I know it is because I don’t know how that clip fits on it. Also when I put the flywheel on, the strike side will not moved at all. I don’t see any damage to it but possibly it is due to that clip not being installed correctly. I can send pictures if that helps. I am just learning how to fix clocks. I have 2 of 4 working but can’t get the last two figured out. Thanks for taking the time to read my lengthy post.

I haven't heard of that brand before. Is the movement a typical early American movement?

@@ScottiesClockWorld I’ve never heard of it either but I’ve only been trying to fix them the last couple of months. It looks pretty much the same as the Gilbert and Seth brands. I have it back together and the spring is ok. It is the strike side causing the issue. Everything is lined up ok but the levers seem a bit too loose so the strike just stops after 2 strikes or it stops mid strike in a small notch and not the deep notch. The lever that is attached to the time side just doesn’t stay up long enough for the pin to clear the lift lever. I am playing around with the wire to see if that helps with tension. I am at work now though.

@@ScottiesClockWorld lol no, I got that movement working. I put the last nut on and tightened it and yay it works. Now the other movement is what I’m working on. When I put the pinion/fly on, there is zero movement. It is strange, it is the original part too. Do the springs have to be on a specific side?! I wondered if I put them on the wrong side and that’s why it isn’t working right. Although the time side works great. I’m gonna take it apart again.

@@sirissacnewton7193 , the spring must be wound under a rod or arbot for it to place a little downward pressure on the lever. if it is wound over the top of a rod it will automatically lift the lever.
