Grandfather Clock Repair

Julie has an Urgos Grandfather clock that has been sitting idle/inoperable for 10+ years.  Over three weekends I took it apart, cleaned it, re-lubed it, bent the pendulum back into shape, made some other adjustments and got it working.  

It is a "weight driven" grandfather clock.  You will see 3 long gold tubes, those are the weights.  

Here are some pictures of the project:

Weights, pendulum, flashlight and a butter knife.

I realized the clock needs to be perfectly level to function.

I had this degreaser to clean my bike chain.  I used it to clean and free up the clock movement.  That will probably make true clock nerds cringe, but it worked and it was free.  

According to the internet, this is the premium clock lube.  $15 for 8 oz.

Here is a video of me manually manipulating the movement to make it chime.  This is before I did any repairs.

Here is the movement working by itself post repairs.  (I know both videos look similar, but this is the finished product).

That's all!
