Greetings! Sorry for replying 4 years late, I'm not on my youtube channel very often but I do still have this fine piece. But to answer your question, my grandma had a grandfather clock when I was a kid, and I remember it chiming every 15 minutes. That's what started it all. Poor old thing needs a new stop wheel for the chimes, it has a hermle 451-050 chain drive 3 train westminster chime movement. I've got a donor 451-050 out of my ridgeway I'll use parts off of. I would've used it as a replacement, but the minute hand arbor is way too long to fit. So instead it'll be getting parted out in favor of fixing the grandfather clock.
That was a beautiful clock. What got you started on collecting them all?
