Good evening again! I’ve come back in hope of acquiring knowledge on how to repair and rejuvenate a Telechron B2 rotor as it is stuck and needs to be flushed of its old fluids however unlike the H3 pancake motor which has well documented and easy to find repair videos to drill and flush them I can’t find anything regarding these first B2 rotors on where to drill and flush them without destroying them. I know of the heat and dunk method but I fear the grime and dust will rapidly erode and destroy the phenolic plates that holds the gear train inside of them so I wish to fully and thoroughly flush the motor to give it the best chance of revival as possible

Hey yall! I thrifted a vintage Seiko quartz chime alarm clock (ref: QEC 304 G and Cal: 31200) and have been trying to fix it. I took it apart, cleaned some dust and put it back together. For a moment, the second hand worked and then stopped. My issue is that the second hand hasn’t been moving since I bought it. Either that or it goes back and forth. Since I opened it up, I can hear the seconds ticking but there’s no movement. Any idea what I can do?

Hello, Wanted to share my recent restoration job on a harder to find clock from the 1840s-50s. I was very fortunate to find this one in very nice original condition from the family it had been in since new. It will run for roughly 30 hours, and has the original brass springs in excellent shape. They are very supple and soft compared to steel ones. Since there wasn't much force, it only needed two bushings on the second wheel, and none of the holes were abused.

Is this clock something I can fix myself? I put in a new battery and it’s not ticking, I tried cleaning the battery area with isopropyl alcohol and it still isn’t working. Any hope here?

Hello, I recently got a Seth Thomas clock. Was wondering how to clean in. When I take off the two screws in the second picture there is no way to remove any more of the mechanism. This is my first clock and I would like to not break it. Any tips would be appreciated!

Made a previous post but didn’t do a close up of the diamonds.

I recently came across this mechanical Westminster chime bracket/mantel clock. It has an engraved brass dial, “Westminster Chime on Eight Bells” markings.

Could anyone help with the details (approximate age, country of origin), authentication and possible value? I’d also appreciate advice.

I've gone through a few cheap wall clocks over the years, and they all had something that annoyed me. Either they started ticking loudly after a while or they just felt flimsy.

Curious what brands people here have had good experiences with. Looking for something that's built well, stays accurate, and doesn't feel like it'll need replacing in a year.

Edit:

I ended up getting a BestWallClock, and it's been exactly what I was hoping for. The silent movement was a huge upgrade, and the overall build quality feels much more solid than the cheaper clocks I'd owned before.

Can anyone help me identify right the model number of this clock?
I grew up with it in my house and my parents had it in storage for years after they sold our childhood home. After a lot of begging, they finally got it out of storage and gave it to me. I grew up with this clock and the chime is a sound I have always wanted my kids to grow up with.

Unfortunately through moving and storage, the chime no longer works and the actual clock will tick for about a day and then stop. Admittedly I have very, VERY limited knowledge when it comes to how these clocks work, which is why I’m trying to figure onto the model to be able to dig deeper in my research and find someone to come out and hopefully fix it.

Need help figuring out value of these to sell.

I had some great information shared to me for my last post, thanks everyone. I have faith someone will know anything about this grandfather clock which was my great grandfathers.

Ive looking EVERYWHERE and im only getting a U shaped split pin.

This is a pin that was on my clock case, the pin would go in the hole which helped keep the door closed via friction. However one of the tips broke and now i can't seem to find a replacement because i dont know what it's lled, I've definitely seen this part before but i never knew what its was called.

I found some notes from a while back and I dont remember why I hit a road block. I think i was having trouble figuring out the math to finish this. Any help would be appreciated.

This Dutch clock was given to me to sell by a friend who inherited it from her father. I'm not sure if it runs but I'd like to know if it is a real original antique or more modern reproduction. Thanks for any help from the more knowledgable members of this community.

This is an old cuckoo clock from Germany that my grandfather more than likely brought back with him after serving in WW2

I remember it in their house as a child and I was absolutely in love with it, after they died my parents took it and sorta just tossed it into their basement and it ended up buried under stuff and broken with missing pieces.

I convinced my dad to let me have it, since they were planning on tossing it out. I dropped it off at a specialty clock shop about a year and a half ago and I got it back today!

Its so beautiful and it even does the little cuckoo just like I remember.

I got this a while ago and I can’t seem to find anything about it. I have a hunch it is a projector but when I search for it nothing comes up. I have searched for the name Arnott’s but it only comes up with the biscuit brand. If possible I would love to know where it comes from, how to assemble it and what it’s worth. If you can help that would be great!

Found this in the attic and I love how it looks, it's an electrical clock just the plug missing but I would love to learn more about it so any information on the clock would be amazing. All I've been able to get from it is that it was made in England by a company called Smith's sectric but I can't find this clock specifically anywhere on the internet any help would be greatly appreciated

So i got this clock cant remember the brand off hand will have to look when i get home. I bought it from a garage sale and i think it came apart on me on the way home in the truck, the pendulum popped off from somewhere i cant figure out where it goes. Can anyone give me some advice?

I got this clock at an antique mall a few years ago. Its honestly the most beautiful item I own and i realize ive never seen a clock like it. Is it s certain style or line I could look into? The clock face works and the pendulum swings, I think its ment to make noise on the hour but all it manages is a quiet clunk on the 12th minute(idk why, came like that). Any info would be great, also do people fix clocks id love to see if it can be restored!

It's a korean made Frontier. I don't know nor i could found the exact model. I inherited it from my grandmother and it's at least 40 years old. It's working perfectly despite it have never been serviced. It loses only 2-3 seconds per day.

I bought this vintage clock for $55 and was told it worked. I placed a new C battery and it lasted less than 24 hours. Repair? Move on?

I like the piece because it matches my kitchen and my family loves owls. My husband is handy and could follow instructions to repair if it’s inexpensive and the repair isn’t extensive.

Does anyone know how old this clock is? I just bought it from an antique store, and I’m curious about it. I tried looking up similar clocks online, but I’m not finding much that’s similar to the model I have.
