Junghans used many different types of bobs on their clocks, They didn't fabricate their own bobs. They had their design fabricated by other manufactures, so many of the same movements will have been fitted with similar but different looking bobs.

Good morning Mr. Martin Master Clock Maker; Oh my what a cute little mantle clock. The Junghans Westminster Mantle Clock is simple yet elegant . The small chimes sound great. Very Nice engineering update to the pendulum, speed adjuster. Oh my, your parallel vice is just as snazzy as the clock ! Best Kristy

Someone may have put an incorrect pendulum rod in the clock. Not sure, since it was purchased at an auction. Sometimes people will do this sort of thing just so it can be advertised as a working clock.

Great clock! It's a shame pot metal was used for the pendulum bob and your right about that material. Pot metal was also sometimes used for wind up phonograph tone arms and reproducer heads.

I have repaired pot metal items using liquid urethane and vacuum chamber to force the product into all the compromised cracks. The urethane stabilizes and seals the pot metal from the outside elements and stops its disintegration.

Hi Mr Martin, Thank you for another great video, my question is with such beautiful works of art clocks you receive is there and trusted conservators of wood and finishes that you know and Trust? Rather than see these wooden structures disappear like the wooden ships of old?
@jamesmartin5370
9 ай бұрын
I don't know of any trusted wood conservators, main issue we see on these lacquered wooden structures is that wood expands and contracts with heat, cold and moisture exposure through the years and the lacquer doesn't so the lacquer ends up cracking.

My wife agrees with yours... Those louder ticks when I was on the lathe is the timing machine that was hooked up to a movement. But yes, I have multiple clocks running at all times, need to test them before returning to the customers.

My interest was piqued when I saw that crummy looking bob. I restore vintage radios as a hobby, and the tuning dial drums on some older radio chassis were sometimes made of pot metal. They tend to de-laminate just like this bob. I'm glad the practice was short lived. Pot metal really is a crummy building material!

Minute hand is held on with a taper pin and washer. The minute hand and cannon pinion get its tightness from the snug fit-up the taper pin and washer puts on it. Add a washer or cup the washer slightly more to get a snug fit when the taper pin is installed.

@jamesmartin5370

The minute wheel is the wheel and pinion to the right of the hour wheel, it drives the hour wheel and cannon pinion, its mounted on a stud. Cannon pinion is what the minute hand mounts on. The center wheel is the center shaft the cannon pinion slides on to, it has the hole in the end for the taper pin. I don't remember on this model for sure, but a lot of them have a clutch system on them some in front of the front plate and some just behind the front plate. Some clutches are a coil spring and some are a curved compression washer. Same model of movement used different systems from year to year, they were always changing small details. You will need to inspect to find.
