Grandfather Clock Test Stand and Hammer Refurbish

If you're just looking to hear this great tube gong clock it is at: 28:26 In this video I evaluate my grandfather clock's hammer mechanism to determine if I can correct for very poor sounding chimes caused by wore out leather pads on the gong hammers. I will also show my clock test stand that lets me fully run, evaluate and service my clock mechanism on the bench.
