Things To Check Before Taking You Grandfather Clocks For A Herschede Clock Repair

By Deborah Roberts


Grandfather clock repair is a costly but necessary hurdle, especially when you are looking to treasure the clock as a family heirloom. This is exactly why there are professionals that are trained specifically to handle the Herschede clock repair of grandfather clocks.

If you have had a house fire, and there was a lot of smoke in the house, you may find that you are worried about your cuckoo time pieces. Before letting anyone else take a look, find a repair man that specializes in repairing cuckoo time pieces and have that person take a look at the inner workings of the time piece. As they look over the time piece, they will tell you whether it is still going to work well, or you need to get parts for that time piece to work right again.

Check the external condition of the time piece first- Or to be more specific, check the conditions of the environment around the time piece. A slightly tilted floor time piece can cause the pendulum to swing erratically, potentially damaging the time piece in the process.

A humid, unventilated room could help rust up core components. The electric field produced by high-power appliances could affect the internal components of the grandfather time piece. Simply put, look around you and see what factors could affect your time piece before they get to do some serious damage.

If you have had a cuckoo time piece for a long time and it is working fine, you might want to think about having it cleaned every ten years or so, just to keep out all that dirt that seems to accumulate on the inside of the time piece. The inside of the time piece can become very dirty over the years, with coal dust, road dust or just dirt from smoking, pets, and such. Cleaning out the time piece won't cost much if there is nothing to repair, and you will know that it doesn't need repairs when it is working just fine.

Creating the balance once again is not an easy task. When your timepiece is indeed faulty, repair and maintenance parts are necessary. The procedure might cost you more money if the problem is serious and less money if it's not serious. All you need to do is to hire a timepiece repairman. When the problem has nothing to do with maladjusted parts, a more knowledgeable person is required.

The time piece will keep time but the melody will start lagging, missing notes and even quarters. Our suggestion is that a grandfather time piece movement needs a service every ten years or even more regularly. If one waits until the time piece movement actually shows stress, one will find that the movement requires more work.

While there are some problems that can be fixed even by a novice, avoid the temptation to completely tear apart the time piece to see what is going on inside. Know what you can and cannot do; start looking for a repair service if the problem is beyond your knowledge or skills.
