Next up on the bench is an 8-Day Ingraham Mantel Clock. I purchased this Ingraham Mantle Clock because it looked like it needed a little help. This clock has been around for a long time. It was made in June of 1935. The numbers "635" are stamped on the bottom of the case. The first number represents the month and the second 2 numbers represents the year.
Problems with this clock:
- Parts of the movement were dripping with oil.
- The mainsprings were seeping oil and contained areas of hardened oil which can cause the springs to catch and not unwind smoothly.
- The leather tips for the chime hammers were missing.
- The clock case was worn and scratched in many areas.
In this video you'll see:
- How to remove a clock movement from an Ingraham mantle clock.
- How to disassemble and assemble a clock movement from an Ingraham mantle clock.
- How to wind and unwind loop-end clock mainsprings using a clock mainspring winder.
- How to clean and lubricate clock mainsprings.
- How to clean a clock movement from an Ingraham mantle clock.
- How to replace hammer leather tip material.
- How to calculate Beats per Minute (BPM) by counting wheel teeth and pinions.
I hope you liked this video. Please feel free to like, comment and subscribe. :)

Terrific video, thanks for sharing. I use naphtha to clean (camping gas), it evaporates completely clean unlike mineral spirits, etc. Someone else suggested using "Goop" with lanolin to clean the case and it does an amazing job removing all the old grime (following up with a damp towel.) Never be afraid to apply a coat or two of shellack, it's so easy to use and the shine is like showroom. I have never figured out how to restore the old looking dials but maybe that is fine to retain the antique look. You have inspired me to build an unwinder. Thanks you so much!

Nice job, as usual. And cool hack with glue on leather tips, thanks! When strike hammers are in resting position, there is should be some gap between them and gongs, 1-1.5mm should be enough. If you set them up in this way, the sound of the gong will be much more louder, melodic and continuous, as nothing will interfere with it. Just try to play with it, and you will be surprised.

I'm really enjoying your channel. We both take similar approach to not over restoring clocks. I'm going to review my use of ammonia based cleaner having seen your results with soapy water, ultrasonics and white spirit. You use so little cleaner, very impressive. I must admit i think the dial would need a bit more gentle cleaning before I could look at it everyday. But you are right, better to take it steady and not strip it back to bare metal! The punched bushing would be something I'd be a bit reluctant to leave as is. Thanks again for the huge amount of time and care you put into your videos.

Thanks! Yeah, my goal is to restore the clock to proper working order. I'm not trying to make the clock look brand new and erase its natural aging characteristics (like patina). In my opinion, one of the special things about an antique clock is its age, and making the clock look like it was made yesterday is not my objective. I would have liked the dial to look better, too, but I was nervous about rubbing off the actual ink on the dial. Thanks for watching!

I'm curious about your soapy water/mineral spirits cleaning order. I would think you'd have better luck with the mineral spirits first, then the water wash. I have some old clocks I'd like to service, and your videos are encouraging me to try. Thanks.
@WatchOverhaul
@WatchOverhaul Жыл бұрын
Yeah, I question that order as well. The problem is I would have to submerge the parts in mineral spirits completely and let it soak for a long time. I would go through a lot of that solution if I used enough to actually soak the parts and it isn't cheap. So I tend to use it as a final rinse to get of any remaining oils, soap, etc. You should try working on clocks! It's fun.

Very thorough video 👍🏼 , and I greatly appreciated the meticulous care with which you took for each individual part. After the recent death of my father, I have inherited my grandmother’s wooden Ingraham mantle clock, which was given to her on the occasion of her wedding (October, 1930). My father did very well at maintaining this clock, and I certainly strive to match his standards. However, although I have followed the instructions at initiating the mechanism, it ticks for about a minute before it slows to a stop. The singular chime works very well (a rich, deep tone), however I fear I will have to take this clock to have the time-keeping mechanism inspected. Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Could be many different things. The pivot holes could be gummed up and/or worn, the movement could be too dirty, clock could be out-of-beat, etc. I'm sure it needs a good overhaul.

I'm curious to know: what is the little black arm bearing on the anchor pivot of the escapement mechanism that you move into place @36:40? It appears to be a retaining spring of some sort? It's always nice to see an old mechanism be brought back to life.

The verge just slides onto a post so it can move as freely as possible. That little black arm keeps the verge from sliding off its post.

I'm a watch tinkerer. I am attempting to learn to service wrist and pocket watches. Part are a problem at time to acquire. Have you run into that? I also have a couple of clocks to try to service or repair. So any thing I can learn from your channel is a plus for me.

I like the easy style of video and voice-over. Is there a reason you wouldn't use a solvent to remove all the old grease?
@WatchOverhaul
@WatchOverhaul Жыл бұрын
Thank you. I would need a lot of solvent to soak the parts and that isn't cheap. It would be quicker but cost more. I can either spend more money and be quicker or spend less money and be slower. I'm choosing to spend less money. I use solvent as a final rinse to remove any remaining residues.

man i really live the way you make this process look more fun and easy, really loved this video! Now as an extra question, idk how possible this is but can you come up with a bpm formula but for mechanical alarm clocks (they don't have a 4th wheel)
@WatchOverhaul
@WatchOverhaul 11 ай бұрын
Cool! Glad you liked it. You should just be able to remove the 4th wheel from the calculation. The only wheels of concern are the ones from the escapement wheel to the center wheel. Also, I'm not a mathematician, so I could be wrong here. This is the equation I use. BPM = (ProductOfGearTeeth / ProductOfGearPinions) / 60 Some helpful sites: bluepapertech.com/clock-repair/clock-repair-101-making-sense-of-the-time-gears/ bluepapertech.com/clock-repair/calculating-a-clocks-ideal-pendulum-period-the-sequel/

Hi I’m late to this party! Your videos just showed up in my feed. I’m so fascinated with antique clocks and started to learn cleaning and repair. I quickly realized I need more tools! I appreciate your spring winder and zip tie ideas. I have collected several clocks that have issues/need parts. Is eBay good for parts or ?

What I do is make sure the clock is sitting level. If the clock is still out of beat, I slightly bend the crutch wire until the clock is in beat.
