Emperor Triple Chime Grandfather Clock

Hi guys, I am here with another clock video and this one is a Emperor Triple Chime Chain-Driven Grandfather Clock. This clock actually has some very bad striking problems to it. I'll show you from the inside right here. This clock has some removable wooden panels so that you can have access to the movement right here. So I'm going to carefully slip them off and place them down here. Let's open up this cabinet. When I came here I had noticed that this clock wasn't wrong. See, the chime weight is fully wound, but the bad thing is that the time and the strike weights are all the way down under there. And they are not hooked up to the chains. I think you can still swing the pendulum, although it doesn't make any ticking noises. And I'm not really so sure if it will keep swinging back and forth or if it will just stop moving completely. This clock is not actually made by the Emperor Clock Company. It is made by someone in person. There's a plaque right there. You can open the door up here so you can access the dial. It's a very nice looking dial. Yeah, it does have that Emperor logo on it, but again, this is handmade. I will show you all the chimes right now. Let's go over here and take off the other side panel. So this is the movement right in here. Eight chime hammers. Set this down right here. Now I'm going to play all the chimes for you, but there is one problem. At the top of the hour after it has finished playing the chime, it will not strike whatsoever. So I'll just reach in and manually strike the rods from this side. So it looks like that it's already set on a... It can be a little hard to see there, but it says Westminster, so we'll start with the Westminster chime. Let's move around over here so you can look inside here. Okay, so it's going to go up to four o'clock now, but after it has done playing the tune, it will not strike. So again, I'll just do it manually. Okay, so that was the four o'clock, and now let's move on to another chime, and that one is Wiggington. Alright, the last chime is St. Michael's. And there you have it, that was all the chimes. And the pendulum is starting to slow down. Well, this concludes the video of this nice grandfather clock, so stay tuned for future videos.
