You are learning a lot with this movement. I dont have one of these movements. I will make comments as I watch so you might have fixed things as I go. I would love to know who made it. Your count wheels on both the quail and cuckoo has 5 holes/5 spokes where every other count wheels that I have seen have 4 holes/spokes except for some of the clocks made by Alexander Fleig. It is very possible that they made this movement or one person all day long made count wheels for their area and sold them to different clock makers. It is a mystery that i would love to solve. The AF movement that I am working on uses the wire that lifts the system to hold the single pin on the 3rd wheel. That pin rides on top of that wire when the clock goes into warning. Filing on that pin that is hitting the wheel vs bending it might be the better idea. The spring that makes the bird go back into the clock might need tightened up. Because that lever that the bird goes out is designed to push on the wire that you are pushing to make it cuckoo which in turn will make that lever that goes out of the count wheel go back in but if the spring isnt working properly then it could bounce and not stop. You could be right on the bushings. Older clocks like this with thicker plates have less leniency on bushings. The thinner plates like todays movements have greater leniency on bushings. Mainly because the older clocks have a longer run time vs the newer clocks having a shorter run time on a single winding. So as with 8 day movements the older 30 hour movements cant have that much bushing wear. BTW I like how you straighted the warpness on the warning wheel. I tried the same thing on my clock but it didnt work. So that is why I took it to the local machinist. 2.7 thickness plates is close to the 3 which would make the movement made around pre WWI from my research that I did. When you are looking at 2.5 it is between WWI and WWII. 2.0 after WWII. Then 1.5 1950s and newer. Then the new clocks are around 1.0 mm. Polishing the pivot should be done with an Arkansas stone. If you are using sand paper like Scotties Clock World shows then that can change the diameter in the metal. Yes that would suck if those bushings came out of that box. I think if you turned the reamer clock wise it would go faster but i could be wrong. Great job explaining the egg shaped hole fix and why. I think that you meant to say that you want the bushing flat on the inside as you explained in the last video. You can tell that you did a great job of putting the bushing in. That you took your time, measured correctly and reamed it slowly because after you put the smooth cutting broach in if you didnt do it correctly then when you pulled that broach out then you bushing would have came out also. Using your fingernail to check the pivot to see if there is a groove. Because if there is a groove then it will cause those issues and the pivot will need polished more. Possibly using a piece of sandpaper but you want to do all of that before you put the bushings in. Because if your forget and find out later then the hole for the bushing is now bigger. Great job so far. Looking forward to the next video...........Keep a positive mind set. Know that you got this.............

If you watched my video on the same movement, I had a worn pivot that I missed because the plates were so thick that the outer hole was not worn, but looking closer, it was worn inside the plate. That zip tie is a little funky. You should use a spring that is maybe stretched out or make your own wire spring, using the 28 gauge spring wire. I do believe I show this in my video. (You should still stop early when using the reamer so the hole doesn't get to big).

Thanks for the advice.

I just checked your video again. I did watch it earlier. I opted to do bushings on all the pivot holes to increase the reliability of the clock working right.
