Worn Out Bushing

Today we were working on a Grandfather Clock out in one of our customers homes. After setting up  our shop we pulled the Grandfather Clock movement out and began cleaning the bushings and surveying the condition of the Grandfather Clocks movement. You can see what we found in the video below. 

The bushing is so worn out. There were several just as bad and many not quite so bad. This is a fine example of a worn put bushing. 

Unfortunately, we had to take this Grandfather Clock movement back to the shop to be rebuilt.  Most of our work can be performed outside in the customers home, however when we get one this bad we will bring it back to our shop to be overhauled. 

It looks like a total of 9 bushings will need to be replaced We will polish all the pivots, clean and polish the Grandfather Clocks movement, re-oil, adjust, calibrate and test this customers Grandfather Clock movement for 10 days. If all checks out, it will go back home to be reinstalled into the case and our job will be compleate.
