RESTORATION AND TECHNICAL DETAILS

PLEASE OBSERVE THAT NEARLY HALF OF MY LISTING PORTFOLIO CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT THE MECHANICAL ASPECTS AND MOVEMENT RESTORATION OF THE CLOCK.

YOU DESERVE, AND SHOULD EXPECT, A RESTORED ANTIQUE SETH OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND RELIABILITY.

I STRIVE TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS RATHER THAN SIMPLY SELL YOU AN ANTIQUE CLOCK.

THE EIGHT DAY FINE ROUND #120 “TIME AND STRIKE” MOVEMENT HAS BEEN INSPECTED, CLEANED, LUBRICATED AND BENCH TESTED – READY FOR YEARS AND YEARS OF SERVICE; MY FULL SERVICE PROCEDURE WAS PERFORMED ON THE MOVEMENT AND INCLUDES:

·        THOROUGH INSPECTION OF ALL PARTS

·        COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY AND ULTRASONIC CLEANING

·        POLISHING OF ALL PIVOTS AND REPLACEMENT OF ANY OUT-OF-TOLERANCE WORN BUSHINGS

·        CAREFUL INSPECTION OF ALL WEAR PRONE COMPONENTS

·        INSPECTION AND SERVICING OF THE TIME AND THE STRIKE MAINSPRINGS TO RESTORE SPECIFICATION ENERGY LEVELS TO THE MOVEMENT AND TO INSURE LONG TERM RELIABILITY.

·        INSPECTION OF THE CHIME HAMMER LEATHER TO INSURE THE CORRECT QUALITY AND TIMBRE OF EACH NOTE STRUCK

·        APPLICATION OF MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC TEST EQUIPMENT TO INSURE THE MOVEMENT WILL REGULATE (PROPERLY ADJUST TIME SLOW/FAST), ACHIEVE AN EVEN PENDULUM BEAT, AND OTHER CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS.

·        THE FULL SERVICE PROCEDURE I PERFORM, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN, IS A $300 VALUE, AND WILL INSURE THAT YOU CAN COUNT ON THE CLOCK TO PERFORM FOR YEARS TO COME!!! THAT IS AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION WHEN PURCHASING AN ANTIQUE CLOCK ON EBAY!!!

IMPORTANT: NOTICE SUPERSIZE PHOTO 11 - AN ELECTRONIC TEST IS UNDERWAY TO MINIMIZE THE PENDULUM BEAT ERROR, WITH AN OBJECTIVE OF APPROACHING ZERO. THIS RESTORED #120 MOVEMENT MET AND HELD ZERO BEAT ERROR AS WELL AS STABLE BEAT RATE OF 10,584 BEATS PER HOUR, INDICATING A VERY HEALTHY MOVEMENT. AS INFORMATION, ERRATIC PENDULUM BEAT ERROR AND/OR BEAT RATE TESTS THAT WILL NOT STABILIZE ARE INDICATIVE OF HEALTH PROBLEMS IN THE MOVEMENT. THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY I ALWAYS RUN THOROUGH TESTS AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES ON MY DISTINCTIVECLOCKS!
