Clock Cleaning, Troubleshooting Timing Problems

Excellent explanation. Thanks for taking the time to produce good content.😀

Good Explanation,would definitely recommend

Love these smaller Urgos movements. They are for sure built to last if they are maintained well enough!

Another excellent video! I always look forward to your videos, I always learn from them.

I have a UW32/1A model 127E Ridgeway grandmother clock (Lady Lexington?) that is almost identical but the timing was off. I thought I was going to have to reach out to you, but then found this! My exact problem (well one). SOLVED!!! I still had to tweak the hands, chimes ran 5-10 min late. But now I think it's running right! I'm so happy! I got this at an estate sale and had to buy the weights. You're cleaning kit was a life saver! Never did anything like this before but your videos are invaluable! Thank you! ( sorry I ran on).

My Howard Martin grandfather clock keeps perfect time, chimes perfectly. I have it striking at 6 o clock perfectly, than at 7 it strikes 5, at 8 it strikes 4 something is causing the strike to count down instead of up. I have just finished cleaning and oiling it, is there something I set wrong putting it back together?

Thankyou for such a good demo of adjustment and timing of this movement, very interesting, I 've been working on a British Enfield Westminster clock with the most frustrating chiming gear problems in the train, I have to say this one is my nemesis as it will go beautifully for a day or 2 then BINGO when any of the protrusions on the center arbor activate the warning wheel the gear train all of a sudden develops friction and won't chime, even though I rebushed a lot of pivots in the top of the train, anyhow I will persist until I find the problem, I wellcome any suggestions once again many thanks.

Hi Is there any way that I can purchase a kit to clean and oil my grandfather clock by you

I have a Hermle Grandfather clock with Westminister chime - Hermle 461053 H K 23. For a long time it was working well, but then the chiming stopped. I discovered that the chiming drum was turning, but it moved sligtly to the right and didn't catch the hammers. So I put a small spacer in on the right hand side of the chiming drum and then it stayed in position and I could hear the chiming. In the proses I did something, (can't figure out what) and now I sit with a problem: It doesn't chime at the 1/4 or the half or the 3/4, but when the minute hand gets to the hour it chimes the 4 notes, the 8 notes, the 12 notes and the16 notes without stopping in between and it will strike once with the 12 notes and then once with the 16 notes and then it stops.The same thing happens on every hour. I've spent hours trying to fix it and I watched all your videos, but nothing changed. Do you have some advice for me please?

Can you help please. I have an Emperor Grandfather clock with Westminster Chimes that my grandparents bought in like 1972. For a long time it kept perfect time chiming each quarter hour and then chiming the 16 notes on the hour and then striking the hour. I wound it a few days ago and nor for reasons I cannot figure out and cannot find anything on the internet about it strikes the hour at the first quarter hour. For instance at one o'clock it will strike the 16 note chime then stop. at 1:15 it will strike the four notes of the tune and then strike the hour. The chime strike on perfect time but the hour always strikes on the first quarter. What have I done? Can this be fixed? Thank you.

I have ridgeway grandfather clock that has quit chiming. Can you help me out

I have a ridgeway it works fine but when it comes on the hour it strikes 3 times at 5 o'clock it should strikes 5 times for 5 o'clock how do I fix this

I have a 1984 Howard Milley Grandfather clock. It chimes sporadically. The chiming is triggered by a cam (4 lobes) on the main shaft. But that shaft has play in it, and I am 99% sure that play is causing the chiming issue. Is that fixable?
