To all my Students and Subscribers,
Welcome to your Junghans Westminster Chime Repair Video. The beautiful chime, exquisite case and unique movement design will blow you away.
When was the last time you picked up a clock and wondered what it'd be like to repair 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.
Junghans Mantel Clocks are the most unique mantel clocks you’ll ever come across. Their heavy duty movements and lever mechanisms need special understanding and care during the repair process. You can tell Junghans was proud of their product by the fine cabinet making skills utilized in their design as well as the machining that went into their movement design.
My Video will seat you at my bench watching and listening to everything that goes through the analyzing and repair process all the way to final assembly and adjusting the Beat and Beat Rate. Over 8 hours of instruction.
When you progress to Overhauling this level of quality movement you'll know how special Clock Repair can be.
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 to help you through the repair process and theory of clock movement operations. I explain the repair by putting myself in your position answering questions that I would ask. This movement is used in several different Junghans clock cases and techniques learned here are similar and can be used in other Clock Repairs.
I'll show you the steps such as Examination, letting down the springs, Spliting the plates, Cleaning and polishing the working components, Repairs as needed such as Bushing Work and Assembly.

Let me show you what it would be like to pickup a Clock and see in your mind how it works,
the many wheels turning so slowly that it takes a week or more to unwind. 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.

I look forward to hearing from you, like this Great Feedback from several of my Students !!
Thank you Al,
Once again you taught me how to do something that looked impossible! I have to share a quick story. a couple weeks ago my wife & I walked into an antique shop that advertised that they had antique clocks for sale. Sure enough they had about 20 clocks. All priced at about 3 times their value. the woman running the shop came over to me & asked if I was interested in any of them. I told her that I was looking for a clock that needed repair because I've been restoring old clocks. she told me that her husband restores all their clocks and asked me where I learned how to do this. I told her I learned by purchasing videos made by Al Takatsch and working on the same movements that were shown in his videos. She rolled her eyes up in her head and said that she could not believe that I was repairing clocks & that I was not certified to do so. I told her that so far I have successfully repaired many clocks for friends & family & have not run into one yet that I could not fix. we left the store, probably never to return. I have to say Al, that you & your videos have changed my life. I just love bringing these machines back to what they once were. I hope your doing well in N.C.
Kindest Regards,
Paul

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!

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.
Thanks,
Johnny
