Wow liked this , searched in google about floating balance , got this really awesome 😮. Hope you also post videos on how to repair or oil up automatic or mechanical watches wrist watches .
I recently did the exact same thing swapping the movement out on a Howard Miller clock I have here at the house. One thing I learned from watching your video, I need to get one of those wire bending tools and a set of those spacers. That would definitely make it easier when I have to do things like this again. Nice video! Thanks for posting it.

One additional question please : I’m used to the swinging pendulums. What is this bracket/mantle clock horizontal type pendulum style called ? Does it have a different name ?
Fascinating. So glad I've found your channel. I recently purchased a 2000 Hermele mantle clock from ebay here in the UK. Your tips are excellent. My wife complains the Westminster chimes are too loud. I have laid a thin piece of kitchen tissue under the hammers on the chime bars. Works a treat. Much quieter, unless there is a proper method that you know of? 😄
Hello. Excellent video ! I bought a clock similar to this off EBay but that horizontal circular like pendulum won’t stay ticking. I have wound the clock and I take my finger And swing it towards the plus side and it starts ticking but then after a minute or 2 stops. Can you tell me what to do ?
i have a clock just like that in mint condition was a General motors gifted clock. im more into watchmaking and would love to sell it to get more watchmaking tools
Would you mind showing us how to tune a set of random chime rods that didn't arrive as a set? My clock has 2 broken rods and I got some new rods that need to be installed and tuned. How do I determine what the proper notes should be? And what is the best way to cut these to the right lengths?
Hi! I recently purchased a a forestville mantle clock with this exact movement. It appears to keep time well but the hour hand is misaligned backwards (e.g. the clock will strike the hour, but the hour hand shows approximately quarter to the hour). I attempted to remove the hour hand to adjust the placement, but it has proven to be very difficult to remove by hand, unlike in your video where the hands easily popped off. Any suggestions on why the hand might be stuck and how to remove it?
I have the same clock, but I see there is a problem with the spring is not attached at the top, plus the time is off , I can't seam to get some advice or anyone in my area to get some help , thank you for your information

Somehow it doesn't seem like I can edit my message but obviously the price of the movement wonder if there are any markups and what the labor charge should be if a guy was starting a clock shop
Really enjoyed watching this thank you. I have just been given a unicorn clock with the same movement. Mine was made in 62. Thanks Mark

@@JRCLOCKER thanks I'll get a set on order
Transfer the bracket positions by tracing them onto a sheet of paper. Then you can put the new movement on the paper and line brackets up perfectly.
Good idea 👍
thank you this did help me replace our movement and set the time

Have an updated link for the spacers? I couldn’t find them in your store. Thank you

The hour hand is just pressure fitted on to the shaft, so you can move it to the hour the clock is chiming.
I want to get the wire bending tool and the square awl for the hands. I didn’t see it on your eBay account
I hope this helps, Jim

Do these New works need to be oiled before installation? If not, would it be a generally good idea anyway?
They do not need to be oiled, but generally oiling them before installation can be a good idea.
I recommend oiling them because you don’t know how long they have been lying horizontal.
Excellent! Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm trying to find a Hermle glockenspeil from 1950, is it rare?

Hi, Not sure what the issue is. Please send more info and pictures to; jrclocker@gmail.com
Can you tell me how to adjust the music barrel after it has been reinstalled? Thanks
Good idea for a video!! Let me work on it. Stay tuned.
Thanks look forward to it.@@JRCLOCKER

Wondering what a clock shop would charge to replace a movement...
Somehow it doesn't seem like I can edit my message but obviously the price of the movement wonder if there are any markups and what the labor charge should be if a guy was starting a clock shop
@@ronmccarty7537 on this movement we charge $450 and it comes with a three-year warranty
@@JRCLOCKER thank you for the reply, I love you videos
