THANK YOU FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE, YOUR SKILLS AND YOUR DEDICATION TO RESTORING THE PAST

As a clock repairer you would a good turnip farmer.

Your restorations never disappoint me. Great job as always !

Good job indeed. But always remove the mechanism from the case first, remove the balance wheel, and then unwind the mainspring. Never remove the plate with the mainspring having tension in it because it may bent pivots, damage teeth...

Simply delightful. I love clocks it was a joy to watch you bring life back into it

Классная реставрация часов, которые могут утром будить человека. Вы Мастер и у Вас золотые руки!

I was the only one who saw that it is a fake? Sand and glue

Gran trabajo, admirable la reparacion de la cuerda, me atrapan sus videos !

That is really good work. I initially thought you might have to replace the broken spring on the windup alarm but you fixed it by hooking the ends together. Great restoration job.

Дело мастера боится вы молодец, отлично проделанной работы!

Muito bom! Eu estava achando que este relogio não tinha mais concerto kkkk mas ficou ótimo .

A little advice for the future - Maybe don't try to reattach broken springs. It can shorten the spring causing it to not hold as much of a wind and also makes the spring weak where the broken parts were conjoined. If you find a spring has snapped, it is better to purchase a new spring. However, if the spring is too specialized, try forging a new one out of spring steel by wrapping a thin sheet of the material around a metal cylinder.

СOOL WORK & RESULT! Finally someone made the restoration without paint... :)

Excelente trabajo 👍 quedó muy bonito sin pintura te saltaste varios pasos como el del armado y el papel donde marca las horas pero eso no quita que lo restaurante muy bien . Suscripto y like , saludos desde Venezuela ciudad de Maracaibo siuuuuuuu.

Great job, man; it is always very nice to see old artifacts working again. I enjoyed your video very much. Warm regards from Mexico.

Cute little wind up alarm clock. Like the brass finish. Thanks for sharing. 😁👍🇺🇸

Looks great.

I couldn't even tell what this was at first. What a remarkable restoration. Congrats my friend!

És um artista parabéns pelo seu trabalho

Awesome restoration!!! Enjoy watching you repair old clocks. Most people do not have one like this. I love them.

Great job!!!

Ruhla is a 150 years old clock makers brand from the small town of Ruhla / Thuringia. During the era of communist east Germany - the DDR - they produced large numbers of cheap wall / alarm clocks and watches, that were then exported to West Germany and sold via the huge mail order shop Quelle. So was this alarm clock most likely too. Since it has plastic parts already, I would guess its from the 60s or 70s. They literaly made millions of those, and since they were not as valued as other brands like Junghans, they mostly gone into the trash. Ruhla clock manufacturers are one of the few brands that survived the German reunification, and still exists to this day. But their products are much more sophisticated now: I own a radio controlled, full titanium case, analog/digital wrist watch from Ruhla. Really nice.

Pinter pisan...👍

Well done !

Love the way you have done it but wana to say you must show how you assembled its mechanism n body paint.. We are missing that part in video..

It nice to watch a table clock in a bad shape brought a worki g piece. it was interesting to see how the main spring was fused. I thought you would heat and rivet two pieces together Great job

YOUR DOING A GREAT JOB, LOOKS REAL NICE,

I like it! ❤️

Meticulous work. Congratulations

nice clock

Good👍👍👍

Good job, man! You're a magician! Jesus Christ!

Amazing..nice restoration

Amazing restoration! Well done! 👏

Good work done. Glass was replaced with plane one how was fixed with convex plastic sheet ? No video on that.

Respect for Labor

Pretty cool! Do you lubricate the pinions of the gears in the movement?

you very very professional restoration 👌👍🏻👏🏻

Cool piece. I restore machines and tools also.

How did the back of the clock get covered in a thick coating but the inside look so clean, especially with the gap between the caseback and case. The inside should have been packed solid...

Да, потрепала немца жизнь.🤔

Sweet 👍🏼👍🏼

What happened to the dial? It was water stained before the restoration and then it's clean, but there is no video on how it was cleaned.

You did wonderful work, mechanically. I wish you'd spent more time making it look better. Brass could've been brought to a better polish and I wish you hadn't hand painted the metal on the back. All that said, I don't know squat about clock mechanics. And I appreciated replacing the plexi with glass. Nice work!

You make very good

👍👍👍👍👍👍Good job

You did it just in time friend LOL, great job though Stay Safe !!!

Just a thought should have shown much more of the reassemble process.

Часы были в хорошем состоянии - внутри корпуса не было грязи. Как можно восстановить такие часы без запасных частей? После того, как соединили пружину - её не нужно было снова закаливать? Желаю успехов. The watch was in good condition - there was no dirt inside the case. How can you restore such a watch without spare parts? After the spring was connected, did it need to be hardened again? Wish you success.

A odkad se satovi ovim redosledom rastavljaju

Будильнику грустно даже после реставрации.:(

Ich habe auch viele Ruhla Wecker die auch das selbe Werk haben.

Great.

You can put inthe beginning as restored. So viewers happy

Old alarm type clocks had luminous dials that were painted with radium this radium peels or powers off and can be found in the old clock. Radium can cause cancer when breaded in best to open these clocks outside and blow them out.

is there any place to get those clock springs?

bravo

Die gleiche habe ich noch in der schrankwand stehen. Optisch und technisch ohne makel

Sehr gute Arbeit, aber ich finde das die Uhr ein bisschen ungleichmäßig Tickt oder?

Судя по дизайну простецкому производство ГДР. Была такая страна, если кто не забыл.

Nice 👍🏻👍🏻 🇮🇳 || Kuki 26|02|2022.

The balance wheel spring should be detach before the plates are removed.

Goes to show , things made back then we’re made to last, unlike the crap we make today.

Good job but how in the world did you remember where all those parts went back

it has a snooze button but what is it snoozing, where does the alarm sound come from? is it internal?

It would be cool if you showed the result before and after at the end

I don’t know how you do it. I rarely work with alarm clocks, they’re too small my hands are too shaky lmao

A few things to keep in mind when repairing clocks. Keep in mind that none of this is meant to discourage you, but instead to provide knowledge for future repairs as it should be a valuable skill to be shared by all. First, the pivots do need oil. A very small amount off oil, but it's neessary to make sure it lasts and runs well over time. Clock oil is recommended but a sweing mahine oil works okay as well. Second, I noticced the beat wasn't as smooth as it should be, implying there was something wrong with the balance wheel or hairspring - it wasn't a "tick, tock, tick, tock", but rather a "tick-tock, tick-tock". Third, is that most clockmakers will keep the original dial even if it's weathered or otherwise damaged from the ages; old dials have character and swapping them out is generally frowned upon, though it is your clock so you do you. Fourth, is that the finish on that clock body is kind of bad. You can see that while you did try to polish it, what it really needed was a light panel beating to knock the larger kinks, then a sanding up to maybe 2000 grit and then a final hand polish. You would also want to nickel plate the body to avoid it being tarnished and stained, then maybe a final gold plate to bring that colour back. The face ring needed a higher polish, as well. Time and care are your friends when creating a new surfface finish. A final point is not to mess with the bell. Even if the bell is pitted, painting it or using filler would dull the ring on that bell and ruin the sound. Perhaps a new nickle plated coat? Criticisms aside, I love how you made a new part using a drill in a vice as a lathe. If you want to pursue small parts for repair, then you can get much higher quality parts with a mini lathe and they are not very expensive - they can be modified to become very good workshop items.

Did it fall into the crater?

Good videko. But still beter if spring to be riveted instesd of being burnt badly.

А где сборка механизма?

Sorry guys; that's just another "not so truthful video" to be polite.

La molla potevi metterla nuova! Un po' di olio nei perni di movimento, gli avrebbe fatto bene! Comunque hai fatto un buon restauro!

Ein Stück Eisen, ein Stück Schnur: fertig ist die Ruhla-Uhr. Jetzt ihr :)

Excellent job, nevertheless there's too many missing parts in the video.

I have a theory why the front and sides were so bad compared to the back and inside. As it was kept in a shed, I think the owner may have at some point rested brushes with varnishes/resins on the face, because usually you can peel it off of glass. But they never actually cleaned it and kept using it as a brush rest, so the face ended up completely covered, the sides were dripped on, but the back and inside stayed relatively untouched.

Like most of these videos the item has been artificially aged thats why the surface is never rusted or pitted looking at the residue on the clock its been sprayed with caustic soda

Когда увидел как происходит ремонт пружины ,дальше смотреть не стал. Этотне ремонт,это тяп ляп.

Hopefully this restoration didn't tick you off too much.

Nice piece 👍 it looks so much better than the red paint. Great job. Liked and Subscribed 🦘

I am actually suprised that the clock still worked. I have clocks in better condition and they won't move on their own.

Ruhla brand:this alarm clock was probably made in the GDR (east Germany).

How come you skipped most of all the reassembly ? I wanted to see that part?

I have one like this, very simillar but made in ussr. I have restored it on my channel, you can take a look if you want. Nice job, i like the new paint

Balance Staff point how to polished?

А почему часы были залиты каким-то воском?

Balance wheel turns very Slowly, Hair Spring is slightly bend. Am I correct?

You dont need to leave the dismantling the clock text at the bottom all through the video. We can see what you are doing. It blocks the other text

Oh! My. I was so surprised when you opended it. Wish you Good with this one Learning is my game... Granny90

Зачем вы пачкаете эти вещи специально?

Why you always did not show us the reassemble??

This clock is Fromm East Germany (DDR)

Why a German buy a clock? Easy,he knows in future some nice guy will restore his clock and turn it in a awesome master piece again

Sorry, but you have to be watchmaker or clockmaker to properly repair this clock. This mainspring repair is unacceptable. You should unpin balance hairspring before taking movement apart. Clean parts in ultrasonic bath with clock-cleaning solution, rinse in clean benzine (naphta). Hairspring after assembly not concentric and not in plane. This is UMF Ruhla from DDR

Não vi a montagem, não gostei. Como ter certeza que é o mesmo relógio!???

Это видео расчитано на дураков. Это понятно с первых минут просмотра. Ставте палец вверх, господа дураки!

East German (DDR) Ruhla clocks were made made for the eternity.

It was a cobbler's clock.

Absolutely nothing happens for the first 90 seconds
