I am enjoying your videos. Is it normal for the escapement bushing to wear as much as the other bushings? Also, I was wondering what solution you use for cleaning. Thanks!
Should the opposite side of the plate be filed before installing the bushing? Or is it only filed when the damage is greater? so that the centering is correct, thank you
unless that clock is a family heirloom, the cost to have it gone through outweighs the value of the clock with todays prices. Its sad that the prices have dropped so much, but at least now i can afford to buy ones that were way out of reach 20 years ago.
I have a 1929 New Haven 8 day Gallery Clock with an octagon dial. With much patience I was able to get it running. Unfortunately, I damaged the pendulum mechanism trying to adjust the timing. I live in Alaska and there is no one in the state that can work on it. The works look very similar to what you were working on in this video. Is it possible to buy a pendulum assembly for my clock or have one made to fit it? Thanks for your input.
If you go to my eBay channel, jrclocker and send me a message with pictures of the broken item. I will set a listing up so you can purchase a replacement. I hope this helps, Jim.
