1940 Sessions Electric Clock Repair - Vintage Elephant Clock
This is my first attempt at fixing an electric clock. The clock motor in this one is the Sessions W2, an early version. Some may have seen this already as it is an older video. I have reedited it and added some helpful comments. This video is a longer than most as I also had to refinish the case which was in a very poor state. I bought this clock used for $9.99. My name is Ab and I thank you for joining me in my journey in amateur clock repair.
This video originally came out in April 2021 wherein I talk about Youtube forcing small channels to have ads and also show some neat old clocks that I bought. My name is Ab and I love old clocks! Thanks for joining me on the journey to get them up and running!

In this final episode of the 1934 Ingraham Wall Clock repair series, the movement is cleaned and put back together. My name is Ab and I hope this repair series was helpful to someone. A time only clock is a good clock for beginners to work on and since I'm a beginner it was perfect. Thank you for spending your time with me and I hope you all have a great day!
You will never appreciate your mother until she is gone. How you could have been a better son or daughter. Despite what could have been, appreciate the ones you love now and cherish their memory.
