Part three would be useful I think. I would have liked to see you put all the wheels back in and your french polishing as well. Seeing the complete product after your finished would also be welcome. Good video
The clock you repairing is exactly like my grandmother‘s clock. The cabinet has been well restored, but there’s something wrong with the movement it’ll work for a minute or two and then quit. What is the likely problem and where can I find parts? Where can I find a clamp?
Beautifully done thank you for sharing this tear down. I just took a 1940 Sessions mantel clock to be cleaned, it has the 5 gong chime action and the Clockmaker said that Sessions made a good clock movement, but the chiming mechanism was not reliable or well-made: I wonder if that is true - it looks very clever to me.
I don't agree, but we all have opinions. The clocks were originally designed to last up to five years and here we are 100 years later still working on them
Servicing a Sessions Berkeley eight day mantle clock, manufactured approx 1930, strikes the half and full hours. Repairs: missing click and click spring on on the going train spring winder, the suspension spring is broken, the count lever is worn in the middle. The case is a bit rough so we will sand it back, give it a light stain to enhance the grain then French Polish it. New videos added every Wednesday. Don't miss out.

We've had the "Berkeley" model sitting over the mantle for about 50 years now. My brother picked it up at a rummage sale back in the day for .75¢. However, the striking mechanism is a brass rod, as opposed to the coil gong...
@DARRAL JAMES Hi Darral, that clock has been sold a long time ago. Send me a pic of your broken suspension spring to (antiquesclockscollectables@gmail.com) and I'll find a similar movement here if I have one, and I'll shoot a video for you. THIS ADDRESS IS WHERE I SENT PICS
The ticking sound drove me crazy. Guess I won't be fixing my mantle clock any time soon!

I am waiting for some parts to arrive from the UK. Once they arrive I will continue with this series.

What is the value of the clock before your repair? What is the value of the clock after your repair?
What did you think of this clock quality wise?
