@@Fred-nz9dp this one actually is not a fusee, just direct spring driven. It realistically should have been a fusee since the chime spring is extremely hard to wind and makes for a sore wrist and fingers.

@yeah I can tell by clicking noises before the deep striking sound!

@ as long as the winding key snug fit but if it too loose the ratchet will fail and will literally turn into finger cutter! Large mainsprings are terrifying!

They can be finicky, but if repaired properly, they can be quite reliable. They do require service more frequently to keep the music roll pivots oiled since they slide and well as turn. They need to be oiled with a slightly thicker oil such as keystone medium weight spring oil. The index plate with the spiral groove also needs a drop of the same oil. They are definitely a pain to work on since these movements have a lower tolerance for wear and sometimes it’s tough to find all of the wear points. Bushings must be perfectly at the original center as any misalignment of wheels and pinions will rob essential power from the train.

@@kansasclocksandsirens this clock only plays Westminster and Canterbury which was exclusive to Herschede movements. Winchester was found on winterhalder movements which I have one and will post a video when I get some time.

@@clockdude1500 stupid me. I didn't notice the herschede movement part

It does, but for some reason the microphone makes it sound louder and tinnier than it does in person.

There really isn’t anything you can do without resilvering it completely. The dial is made of brass and a process using a silvering powder is used to make it appear silver. Unfortunately, any attempts at cleaning will only make it worse.

The one on the left that is chiming in this video is 92” and the one to the right of it is 96”.

@@MrReptile-oy8wqyep

That is a very early English 9 tube clock made by Russels Ltd of Liverpool. Hopefully I can get a video of it at some point.

Almost. This one was made in 1924 when they moved the strike tube to the left of the longest chime tube. I would guess yours is probably 1922 or 1923 since the strike tube is to the right of the shortest chime tube.

Because the strike and chime is combined into one gear train so it runs at the same speed. I plan to make a video in the future showing how this movement works, it’s very interesting.

@@clockdude1500is this a Waltham?

@@DeepSnowRider no, it’s a colonial mfg case with a Herschede movement

That’s really cool! I always wondered what happened to this car after my grandfather sold it. Is it still in Michigan by chance?

@@clockdude1500 It is. Greater Lansing area. I go to college at Kettering University in flint. I’ve had the car since my dad found it in 2019.

@@jafferm1938 I believe that’s the year my grandfather sold it. I checked out your videos, looks like it’s had some mods done like the gauges on the drivers side A pillar.

@@clockdude1500 precision te62 turbo, stage 1 built trans, 3200 stall converter, methanol injection kit etc. plus all the other bolt ons to make that stuff work. It’s a fun car. Haven’t touched the paint. Wanna keep it original

@@jafferm1938 that’s awesome! It really is a fun car, my grandfather and I used to take it to Woodward every year with the Grand National club. There was a sticker on the package tray that said “it’s just a Buick, how fast can it be?” Not sure if you ever found that, it might have fallen into one of the crevices. My grandfather and I repainted the deck lid when he get it from Barrett Jackson in Florida back in 2011 I believe, other than that it should be all original paint except for the front clip which was redone sometime before he got it.

Due to the fact that the chime and strike train are combined, it takes more weight to drive it. The weight for my 7 tube colonial with this same movement is 38 pounds.

This one pre- dates when they started giving them model names. This one is from 1909, the Virginian was introduced in the 1940’s.

@@clockdude1500I also noticed how the strike train did not turn off right after the strike ended, why is that?

@@V.G.F. that is because the music roll returns to its home position before the train stops. This clock has a very unusual movement that Herschede developed in 1909 that only uses one gear train for both chime and strike operation through a series of cams and levers.

@@clockdude1500I have another question, did Herschede continue making these movements until their closure in 1984? Or did they discontinue them sometime?

@@V.G.F. the two train three function movement was discontinued in 1919 because it can be troublesome and many failed prematurely. Not to mention it takes a lot of strength to wind the weight for the chime and strike train, especially in the 7 and 9 tube models where it weighs nearly 40 pounds.

It sure does! I replaced all the chime leathers but forgot that one.

I believe this could be a Kieninger concerto movement! Howard Miller uses this in at least two of their floor clocks.

@@Corgipon this is a kieninger. I'm referring to the movements Jauch KG made with 15 hammers and played ave maria

No, sorry. This clock was a Christmas gift from my family many years ago and is part of my permanent collection.

I sold this clock over 10 years ago.. sorry

Yes, the movement is Herschede. It’s one of the early two train three function movements.

@@clockdude1500 interesting
