St. Michael's Episcopal Tower clock, Charleston-Update- Full Chime
Here is a video I captured on a maintenance visit to St. Micheal's Church in Charleston, SC. So many were so eager to comment on the other video that I uploaded a couple years ago about how "squeaky" the clock was.......well that was before I became the caretaker.
Well I have been the caretaker of the clock for 2 years now and it is doing great, all the squeaks are gone, and she is running smoothly and on less weight. The clergy at the church said "it is running like a digital watch", so that was a very nice compliment, especially since this clock is approaching the 250 mark.
I repaired the Quarter chime levers last fall 10' and it now sounds out the tune correctly. The lowest note (the 4th note in the chime sequence) lift lever had been misaligned for many years so it had not been chiming correctly the last 30 years or so.
Well it is all back up and running great and just wanted to show her off.
There are several "wear areas" that we are going to work on in a mechanical restoration over the next couple of years, but even with some issues she is running strong! Enjoy
