“clean and oil” grandfathers clock (with out taking everything apart) 100% synthetic oil liberty

ONE THING I NOTICED: When you wound the clock, you pulled on BOTH sides of the chain...UP...AND...DOWN! My grandfather taught me this a long time ago and I have caught many people NOT doing it this way several times and corrected them. I am glad you showed doing it that way! Thank you!

Wow!! Did the exact same to my grandma's clock and now it's working! Chimes are slow, but works

Unbelievable! I got my grandfather clock running again thanks to your instructions and Liberty oil! Thanks a bunch!

Thank you! My Dad built a grandfather clock from an Emperor clock kit in 1989. I inherited it when he passed away. Your video helped me get the clock running and chiming again!

Those chimes sounded beautiful, thank you so much

Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to video your work and share it.

Very helpful. I've got the same clock & clock movement so will be cleaning and oiling mine soon. Thank you.

My exact model !!! Thanks so much 🙏 I just inherited it from my mom 😊

Wonderful video! And the clock! The works and the cabinet are exactly like my 'kit' I ordered and assembled in 1994 from the Emperor Clock Company. I will clean and oil my clock as the chimes are not slow or not starting....

Thanks for the great video and helping me get our grandfather clock working again!

Best grandfather clock video ever!!

Thank you....my grandfather is operating as it should, thanks to ur video

Thanks for the video. I picked up some synthetic clock oil and got a friend's clock working again. The main issue seemed to be with that upper fast spinning flywheel which began working as soon as I oiled those bearing. Many thanks

It looked like you had a uniform on like mine. I used to drive package cars too. Thanks for the video. Maybe I can fix my 140 year old clock now.

My husband had my oldest son make me one in 1997. Its almost 25 yrs old. The year my oldest grandchild was born.🥰

Thank you

thank you

Jan 14, 2024 I've watched your video on grandfather clock mechanism cleaning and oiling (along with a host of other YouTube videos on the subject). Today, I took the movement (which I had earlier removed from the clock) and cleaned and oiled it. I took my time and the work progressed without a hitch. Upon completion, I reinstalled the movement, face, weights, and pendulum. The clock now chimes all three tunes, gongs and accurately keeps time without any problems. Most of my time spent on this project involved watching YouTube videos and taking notes on the subject before I started anything else. The cleaning and oiling work really is very straight forward. Oh, and I did find using toothpicks would work but the force required to clean old oil out of the pivot holes caused the toothpicks to splinter or break. Toothpick wood seems to be too soft for this work. A sharpened, small-diameter wood dowel with small pieces of old T-shirt worked great for me doing this cleaning work. My clock is a 1982 Ridgeway Grandfather 3-chime, 3-weight, chain-driven Clock with a Urgos UW 32 570 D movement. My clock movement uses a single 6.2-pound weight along with two (2) 4.6-pound weights and a 35" long pendulum with 6.5" dia. bob. I've taken the movement out of the clock case to clean and oil it with the intent of restoring the gong and chime functions. The process of removing the movement from my clock case was straight forward and uses tapered pins to hold the clock face to the movement. Thank you for the straightforward, nicely shot video (great lighting, angles and audio) on clock cleaning, oiling and operation.

Great info!
