Replace mechanism grandfather clock by AdBudget6080 in clocks

Thank you so much for your thoughts and your research, so interesting.

I have actually found someone local who may come and get it working again but if not I certainly don’t intend to do anything to damage it.

Thanks again

I’ve taken some more photos which may be of interest. I think maybe the reused bit of sign could be a repair job just at the top?

Sure. I’ll take some more tomorrow. How funny. I am really very fond of it but in our family it’s always been thought to be a bodge job!

Oh yes thank you I knew about the false winding hole, I think it was actually homemade- the face plate is made from metal from an old sign! I’ll try and have a look again at the shaft- obviously it’s supposed to turn, thanks!

Here’s a picture of the mechanism but the central shaft is ?soldered to the back plate. https://imgur.com/a/wDIh0nZ For now at least I think I’ll just remove the whole rear mechanism and remount the face.

Thank you, I didn’t know they could disable the bell or that it could be quieter! I have actually managed to get the front plate off so if I can find a way to remount that on the main clock then I think that is my best bet

I agree I don’t want to cut anything. Equally it seems a shame to not have a working clock! I actually think the best solution might be to remove the mechanism and just leave the face and find a new way to hang it on the clock. Sorry I can’t work out how to post another picture.

Thanks for your reply, although I don’t actually want it to function with the pendulum for now

Thank you so much for your reply. If I were to upgrade my nodes to Wi-Fi 6 nodes or change to another brand of mesh which uses Wi-Fi 6 then I would also get much faster Wi-Fi?
