DVD only, Clock not Included We Ship Overseas, Free Shipping in the USA To all my Students and Subscribers, The New Haven Westminster Chime Triple Plate clock has the quality and sound of the best German Clocks. Give these clocks the TLC they deserve when the time comes. When was the last time you picked up a clock and wondered what it'd be like to fix it. What is it that clockmakers know that seems Magical? How hard could it be to learn? Could I really do this? At less than half the cost of other Training Video's you can experience it for yourself. The video puts you closeup at the workbench instructed every step of the way. Each video takes you from start to finish on a specific clock so your not flooded with information applicable to other clocks. My teaching philosophy, I want to amaze my students with how much they can learn in a shorter amount of time. Here is the long awaited New Haven Triple Plate Westminster Chime Movement Repair Video. Not many come in for repair due to the high cost of an overhaul so I created this video to guide you through the process. The design of the movement has hidden pivots on the sub plate which cannot be oiled properly unless the unit comes apart. This causes hidden wear and many bushings are usually are needed to get it working properly again. This is a complex movement but if your up to the challenge it will be a repair and a great addition to your shops capabilities. My video covers the tear down and assembly and the unique ajustment needs of this movement. I included a section at the end of disk 2 showing basic bushing work procedures. Its always a Treat to work on something different and I look forward to my next one. Take your time and Have fun with this clock and email me pictures of your completed repair.

Taking it a step further, how could these wheels be made to run so precisely and why do they stop after so many years of running. You'll begin to recognize the worn area's and know how to repair it back to original health. This is what I show and explain in my Video's. Video Preview's and Technical Tips available on my YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/altaka1 There are hundreds of Clocks waiting to be repaired and you'll find them at yard sales, auctions and even your own attic or basement. Increase their value and beauty so they can be enjoyed by the next generation. I created this Movement Specific Video Series to help you through the repair process and theory of clock movement operations. I explain the repair process by putting myself in your position and answering questions that I had when I first got started. This movement is used in several different clock cases. Many techniques learned here are similar in other Movements. I'll show you the steps such as Examination, Splitting the plates, Cleaning and polishing the working components, Repairs as needed such as Bushing Work and Assembly.

I look forward to hearing from you, like this Great Feedback from several of my Students !! Hi Al, I can't thank you enough for this great video on repairing a wooden movement!! So far everything is going great and as you can see by the pic. I just molded my first wooden clock teeth. What a great way to do this!!!!!!!! I know it's only two teeth but hey you gotta start some where!! thanks Al *** Really enjoy your cd on wooden clock mworks . You have done a great job *** H i Al Happy New Year. Purchased your Repairing the Eli Terry 8 Day Wooden Clock Movement. I can't tell you how excited I was to get the wooden clock movement running again. I'm sure it had been decades since it was last running. Now, it is merrily running! I replaced bushings with Hard Rock Maple and repaired broken leafs on the wheels with the techniques taught in the video. Your techniques are precious. Thank you, take care, Thomas Hi Al, I watched your DVD on doing bushing work by hand & was so inspired, my wife & I drove to Merritts & purchased all the tools needed per your video. Today I put 6 bushings in a top plate & 5 in the back plate, put it all back together & it hasn't stopped once all day. This movement had been struggling and would stop off and on every couple hours. I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge. I don't think I would have ever attempted any of this without your DVD's. Hope all is well, Paul Dear Al, Viewed the first 2 1/2 hours. You might be interested in knowing that your techniques are very similar to my hand surgery practice!!! When I take a hand apart I use the same techniques and thought processes. You have to remember how it came apart in order to put it back together again...And not have any extra parts when you finish!!! I have no doubt that I will get the chimes working correctly with your help. By the way, I doubt very much that the clock repairman in Florida went through it with the precision you do. I will be checking bushings to make sure they have been properly inspected. Thanks, J. ****** Hi Al, I just finished the 2-DVD lesson on the 1913 Gilbert that you sent. I must say that you did an outstanding job! I really enjoyed watching you work your way through each hurdle that you came across. You demonstrated that a person can solve many problems if they will just think them through. This DVD is really helping me with the Gilbert 1912 Mission mantel clock that I’m working on. It’s sort of like having your teacher there with you, showing you what to do next. My grandfather collected and repaired clocks when I was young. I doubt that he would have ever imagined that you could learn clock repair by watching clips over this thing called the “internet”, or watch full length training material on DVD. What a world! Thanks again! SW ******** Dear al_taka3, I purchased three of your DVDs. One for Junghans, one for New Haven and one for installing bushings. I have bushed several movements since then using your technics. They have been most helpful to me and i thought you should know.
