  Hi I have a 400 day clock, had it for 10 years. But over the last couple years it would stop. At first it would start up and run for months and over time it would only run for shorter times. I’ve changed the suspension spring to a 0.102 mm and I have a 0.114 spring. From watching the movement I noticed the escape wheel at the anchor jamming. I’ve noticed wear on the escape wheel. Not sure how to send pictures . Any ideas?

  @@alanbirchenough7263 I would be very surprised if the escape wheel had any wear , if it hasn’t been serviced in the last 10 years then there is probably congealed old oil causing friction, it probably just needs a service if you are on facebook just message me on messenger @torsiondell

  Hi Dell, I'm oldhippy. Did you grease or oil the mainspring. Putting the movement together, have you tried working from the bottom upwards that is the way my master taught me it makes it easier. It would also be nice to show your method of polishing and cleaning. I expect the dome is glass due to its age and not that horrible plastic.

  @richardboudreau54612 ай бұрын

  This was a great video and I am sure everything you talked about relates to my problem. Got my Kundo home from the repair shop, started it up and in the morning, it was still running but had lost about 4 minutes. The repair guy showed me the wheel to turn to adjust for fast or slow. I turned it to the right to speed it up. That's all I did and now it won't stay running for more than 20 minutes. I may have turned the wheel too far, so I have turned it back a bit, about 4 times, hoping that would solve the problem. Then I saw your video and realized that I did not start the clock up with a full turn of the pendulum. So I started it up again, properly, but it is still stopping. This was just serviced, cleaned, new wire, the whole nine and it ran all night till I touched that adjustment wheel. I am at my wits end. I will say that I watched through the holes in the back and those things don't look like they are making smooth clicks. They seem to be laboring to click. Any thoughts???

  It’s imperial but it doesn’t matter with Rocketronics it converts to metric because you put the leadscrew threads in settings ie 8tpi converts to 3.175mm so that’s what you input in to control but I can’t remember what the crosslide leadscrew was but easy to Google , you can also put the backlash in settings so it compensates for it , you can cut metric and imperial threads but for imperial you just have to convert to metric to input into control, I love it.
