Thanks for your comment and your memory! I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 7 or 14 "lift" - the punch mechanism registers AM and PM for 7 days and so has 14 positions. If that's what you mean, I guess it's a 14 lift. :)

Excellent. Perhaps this will give me the courage to have a go at cleaning my GB time recorder.

As long as you take pictures as you go, you should be able to get it apart and back together. It can't possibly be as dirty as mine was. :)

Great video, very informative as usual. Your last video inspired me to start my own restoration of a NTR program clock and having just finished my first module (the bell ringer) this video comes out to make sure I keep going with it. I'd like to make a video of it but I don't have the time or patience for that so thank you for making the effort.

Thank you! Part 3 should come out shortly - I had to split this segment due to length (anyone that can put up with me for ~20 minutes is already a saint), but the clock is finished. Best of luck on completing your project. I always love seeing pictures - feel free to contact me through minnesotawatches.com - I'd love to see how your project is going.

Newbie question: I've the same clock, but can't manually advance the minute hand - it doesn't want to move without seeming to strain the gear train?

Thanks for your comment. It's hard to know without being at the clock, as this clock does require quite a bit more force to set than a typical mechanical clock. Does the clock run? If the hands advance as the clock runs on its own power, that's a good indication that the resistance you are feeling is due to the friction washer that allows you to set the time, and you can probably push a little bit harder on the hands to see if you can move them (make sure you only go forward). If the clock will not run, that indicates that something is bound up. My clock's printing mechanism was completely frozen with grease that had dried. If you disconnect the drive shaft between the time movement and the printing mechanism, does that help? If so, you know the issue is at least partly in the printing mechanism. If the clock hasn't been serviced in the last 10 years or so, that would certainly help.
