Well, I have a couple more clocks to show you guys that I picked up a while back.
Let's go ahead and check them out.
So right here, I have a little section here, which should be four.
One's not there right now.
But these are the new clocks right here.
You've seen this one before.
We'll start with this one.
This is a antique New Haven 30 hour striking clock.
I got this along with this one and that one, whatever,
from the Clockworks of Jacksonville to work on.
And it's really awesome, to be honest with you.
It has the labels right there.
30 hour without alarms, which is basically what this is.
Pause if you want to read this.
It strikes only on the hour on a bell that's down there.
And when the door on here is open, that bell is really loud.
And this door here also has a latch.
Seal it up there.
So without further ado, we'll go ahead and hear it.
And yeah, that warning goes off like right here.
And it finally goes off up here.
The camera probably does not do justice as to just how loud this is with the door open.
You can definitely tell a major difference if I were to shut this door.
It has to be stopped because it has count wheel striking.
And this thing is very sensitive when you try and push it back.
Trust me, I know.
But this one here is also an antique.
It's a Sessions eight day striking clock.
I also got this along with this one.
This was one of Mr. Jim's clocks that he had just picked up and didn't have a need for because,
well, you should see his shop.
It's already backed up enough as it is.
It strikes the hour and the half hour on a gong, which isn't the most resonant gong.
It strikes the half hour on with a passive striking mechanism.
And it strikes the hour with count wheel striking.
And this hand is very, very stiff.
I have definitely
bent it a couple of times.
But yeah, let's listen to how it sounds.
This one also runs extremely, extremely slow.
Like, look.
So now I'll go ahead and show you the passive half hour mechanism.
You can see the hammer being lifted up ever so slowly up to the point where it
drops at the end.
In summary, these are two new clocks.
That one there is a New Haven 30 hour antique striking clock
and a Antique Sessions eight day striking clock right over there.
