Curfew 1908 William Gilbert Mantel Clock Repair
This clock was very clean, so I only oiled the movement on Front and Back. Polished up the Bell with Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish that cost $6.00 and compared the polish to the Simichrome Polish that really cost the money. I also painted the swirls, carved on the front of the clock.
A note from the NAWCC posting;
Just to let you know - this model is called a "curfew" clock. When a gentleman suitor took out a man's daughter on a date he was instructed to have the girl back home by the the time the bell on top rang at the top of the hour he was told to have her back home by. Thus, a curfew clock.

Here I do most of my work on clocks. Mainly cuckoo clocks, yet I am always looking for the unusual and eye catching clocks. Some of the clocks I get into are ones that need saved from the dump. They fell off the wall from not securing the clock to the wall using the stud behind the sheetrock. Some of the clocks were laid to rest out in the garage or barn and I except the challenge of getting them back together again.
A well loved clock at one time is one that has a lot of wear and you find old bushings that might need to be replaced.

Waterfall Clock Light Change to L E D
Переглядів 152День тому
My brother found this clock for me, but the light did not work. Inside of the clock, it had a tag for the type of Florescent Round bulb the clock needed. Searching on line, I could not find one because they stop making that type of bulb and if there was one out there, they were asking $65.00 plus shipping. So I decided to put in L.E.D. strip to light my clocks waterfall. Check it out and see wh...

This clock I bought from GW and I didn't realize how bad the rust was on the clock.

If your worried about file marks and people calling you a butcher what I would do is measure how tall the plate is take the bushing and put it in a vice and file it there and continue to measure until the numbers match up
Hello, I've been trying to reach you by email, and there is no answer. I emailed you August 7, 9, and 20. Maybe your email is not working, so I thought I would try this. You are fixing my cuckoo clock, and I want to discuss it. Thanks. Alana Koepl.
You sure di find great cli=ox=cks thanks for sharing this one full support our friend
I’m guessing that it is nickel plated
You sure do sound chipper, big bro; 😁 I like the shiny brass, close to gold! 😉 I like the bell sound as well, kinda like a church bell. Good refresh of that old clock! God bless ya and have a great week! ❤
I was two months ahead on my videos. I haven't worked on clock for over a month with all that has been going on. I think all is back to normal now. Thank you for your kind words and the thought of the bell and memories. You have a great week and God Bless.
I have a movement that has a bent, I believe it's called a minute hand arbor or center wheel. Can it be taken off and replaced?
Yes it can, but I have found a few clocks that had the bent minute had arbor, I straighten it and mess the clock up and had to re-bend it to get the clock running again.
@@justmike57 Thanks, I'm having trouble getting the gear off the arbor, and hints?
@@kovec69 I do believe the gear is wedged on there like the hour hand of the clock. You can try two screw drivers on either side and pry up evenly as you can. Also try some oil on the shaft before you start.
well done my friend
Thanks for the visit John.
Good experiment with the Mothers and the Semichrome. Yes for the price the mothers is the way to go as it looks like it does the same job. Great job on cleaning the clock up. Love the sound. I dont have a curfew clock yet. LOL. Keep up the great work. Thanks for the shout out. God bless you and yours.
I love the look of these clocks. The part that holds the bell, I am sure others paint them. Maybe use a chrome gold spray paint might look good. Thanks so much for stopping in Mark. God Bless.
Turned Out Nice And Shinny.
Yes, it did, Bat. thanks so much for watching and see you next week. Have a great Week.
Good morning and beautiful clock and you'll definitely know what time it is
Compared to a Cuckoo Clock, you are right about KNOWING what time it is. Thanks so much for watching Jordan.
😊❤❤😊❤😊 beautiful 😍❤️😊 good 😊😊❤ information 😌😊
Whoa Mike!! You had me nervous with that white pen lol the bell turned out amazing!! Interesting clock I've never seen before would like to hear it after the leather strip goes on it was pretty loud lol Great job Mike!!
I just ordered the leather today for the hammer. I will have to pop it in a video or just make a new video on changing the leather. Thanks so much for watching claybaby003
History of a Curfew bell is very interesting. It had to do with everything from stopping crime to saving fuel for lanterns. That did come out better then new I thank.
I would like to know more of the history of this clock. Where can I find that information? Quick google search said it had to do with a date and knowing what time that they had to bring their daughter home which doesnt sound right.
@@munnerlyn3 I found several references from turning off all light sources, to time to go home. Many were for how we lived back then. Remember the gas light was king and DC power was the light bulb power. if you even had power. Automobiles were just getting started as a way to get about. But horses provided 80% of human travel, Followed by Trains then ocean liners. I searched 1909 history.
This makes sense for that period in time. If not, it does make a good story. Thanks for watching Bob Anderson.
Came out nice. I hadn't seen a curfew version. Thanks for sharing!
I didn't know there were other versions of the clock. I do know that I really like the looks of this one Chery. Thanks so much for your comment and visit. You have a great week and God Bless.
Nice repair work mike not much wrong with it very clean take care
The shine was my main thing about this clock and it turned out great. Thanks so much for watching The N.D.T. Show
Hi Mike, I have this clock but I am having trouble with the cuckoo and door closing after it successfully cuckoos. I am able to close the door manually with the cuckoo going back in. Is it possible that the cuckoo and its associated black bar is disengaged with the movement? Any help would be appreciated.
Your clock could be in need of oiling. The book says to oil your clock every 5 to 7 years to blow out the dust, and freshen up the old oil so it doesn't start to gum up and stop the clock. If you take the movement out to oil it, check the spring tension for the bird to see if you need to take another wrap around the bar of the bird so he will come back inside the house.
Thanks Mike.
Thans a good looking clock glad you managed to figure out the light situation
I knew they had long strings of LED, but I was not sure is I could get a Short strip to work. All worked out well. Thanks for stopping in Handicapped traveler and you two have a Blessed Week.
Get rid of the music!
The music was a rookie mistake. It is amazing how well the camera picks it up.
Very creative thinking to relight this clock!
Thank you Chery and thanks for watching. God Bless.
The video was for an issue not pertaining to mine. However, it helps determine why, and now the clock works fine. My clock was moved and not level, the reason it was stopping after a minute. It looked fine, but when I used a level, it was fixed. There is no need to open it and mess with the inside.
I am glad this video helped you in a different way and your clock is running fine now. Thanks so much for watching and you have a great week.
Lol Mike you forgot my pendulum lol I've sent a couple of emails to you about it but you never answer lol..I just didn't send the weights but I sent the pendulum would really like to put it back to grandma's clock..thanks
I haven't checked my emails in a while. I was sure I sent the pendulum. I will check around and see if I can find it or just send you another one that goes with the clock.
@justmike57 I made sure to check everywhere in the box you sent me but my pendulum wasn't there. I emailed you right away asking about it. I would really like the pendulum that went with grandma's clock I can always buy another one but I want the one that goes with the clock it was grandma's lol
Another clock back from the dead by the genius Mike awesome job buddy 👍
Thank you John. You have a great week ahead.
I bought this one. I live in Michigan and they told me to dig four foot deep. I am still confused about how to set this properly, so it's just sitting in my garage for weeks.
Where I live, there isn't really a frost line to worry about. Michigan freezes DEEP. and you have to get below the frost line to your pole does not heave out of the ground as the ground starts to thaw out.

Cool upgrade work here on this trasfermation to led
Thank you so much. It was a bit upsetting to find out they stopped making the bulb for this clock. L.E.D. was the only way to go.
Mikeeeeeeeeee😫😫😫😫😫😫🙆🏾♀️. Hope your doing well. Getting my big boy ready to head back to school😢. This clock is so cool😮,i definitely like unique stuff like this for my place! Another reason i stay in thrift stores is because i enjoy having stuff a lot of people can't just go get in bulk❤. See you next upload🎉
Thanks so much for your support Texas_Made_1988. Most these clocks, people just got tired of them and their parents of grandparents had one of these clock. I leave the noise turned off on the clock but do enjoy the waterfall.
well done my friend
Thanks so much for stopping in John.
lol You should make the motor go backward so the water flows up .
That would be different for sure Badbadbob.
That is a super nifty clock. I love the fall, mountain scenery with the waterfall and sound. Good job, Mikey poo. Have a great day and God bless ya, bro. 😊
I am happy you like this clock. Our Grandma use to have one almost like this one Sis. God Bless and have a wonderful week.

Nice Upgrade, You Are The Clock Whisper.
Thank you very much Bat and thank you, for watching.
Good job Mike! I see grandma's clock behind your head lol glad to have it home but still waiting for you to send my pendulum lol
Oh my gosh! Did I forget the Pendulum? I will have to look for it and get it mailed off.
Looks great Mike, those lights were a good idea to bring that clock back to life.
It was almost my only option. I am glad it worked out for the clock. Thanks so much for watching.
Good information very nice 🙂😊🎉❤ excellent 👌👍
Thank you so much 🙂
😊🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤hi dear how are you 🙂😊 good sharing 💖😊
Thank you for watching and have a great day.
You did a great job bringing this clock back from the grave. Great job. I like it. The LED strips did well. Thanks for the shout out. God bless you and yours.
I was a bit afraid the L.E.D. lights would be too bright, but they worked out well. Thanks for watching Mark and God Bless.

Thank you Will.
Mike good morning that is the coolest clock. Your brother did wonderful. It might be made in Japan not for sure Hopefully you get the light to work. Have a wonderful blessed day.
A very Good Morning too you Will. If you skipped to the end, you can see the lights working on the clock Will.
I have a clock just like this! The casing is in beautiful shape but the clock isn’t working. Maybe I’ll try oiling the movement when I can find the time 😊 thank you!!
Check to see if your bellows are broken, otherwise this old of a clock needs the oil every 5 years.
very helpful as to the belts. thank You !
The belt is the most difficult to figure out and that is why I made sure to show the route for the belt. Thanks for watching.
Hi good evening and so nice video thanks for sharing cheers have a good holiday weekend to you too 👍😅🍷
Cheers to you as well Kratai. You have a warm, dry day this week and thanks for watching.

At the end of the Video, I show Marks channel, his channel is full of information on clocks. Might not be the best videos, but he does his best.
Very interesting clock design. The face is interesting to look at . Nice to see it working again. Great video!
Thanks Chery. I was hoping the outside of the clock was in better shape as well. Thanks so much for watching. God Bless.
As always Mike you did a terrific job in repairing this clock and making it look presentable. Keep the videos coming. May God bless you and yours. Thanks for the shout out.
Thank you so much Mark. I know God is watching over you.
well done my friend
Thank you John.
That Clock Looked Really Old, I Seen 1 Just Like That At A Yard Sale For $3, But I Do Not Use Alarm Clocks.
I have my phone set to go off in the morning just in case I am able to sleep past the time I take dad to breakfast. Thanks for watching Bat and have a great weekend.
Nice fix here
Thank you The NDTShow.
You wonder how many years the alarm clock woke up some one to go milk the cows or go to their factory job.
And that is why I almost wish clocks could talk of the history they have gone through. Thanks for watching Bob.
