ON THE DIAL THE QUARTER HOUR CHIMES WIND SHAFT IS LOCATED ABOVE THE NUMERAL 5, THE TIME WIND SHAFT IS LOCATED ABOVE NUMERAL 6, AND THE HOUR STRIKE WIND SHAFT IS ABOVE NUMERAL 7. THE TIME ADJUSTMENT FOR FASTER OR SLOWER IS ACCOMPLISHED VIA THE THUMB NUT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PENDULUM ASSEMBLY. THE QUARTER HOUR WESTMINSTER CHIMES MAY BE SILENCED BY MOVING A LEVER LABELED C FOR CHIME AND S FOR SILENT.

THE LEVER IS LOCATED ON THE UPPER RIGHT OF THE DIALS EDGE AND CAN BE VIEWED IN SUPERSIZE PHOTO NUMBER 6.

THE CHIME 102 IS WELL PRESERVED AND FULLY RESTORED IN EVERY WAY. I TAKE GREAT CARE TO INSURE THAT EACH DISTINCTIVE CLOCK I OFFER IS SUPERB IN ALL RESPECTS!!

PLEASE REMEMBER TO HEAR THE CHIME 102 VIA THE ATTACHED SOUND FILES. THE NOTES STRUCK FROM THIS PARTICULAR CATHEDRAL CHIME RODS BANK HAVE A WONDERFUL AND LINGERING DECAY. LISTEN AND YOU WILL HEAR WHAT I MEAN. THIS IS A LARGE SIZE WOOD CASE CABINET STYLE WALL CLOCK AN IDEAL SIZE FOR PLACING ON ANY WALL OR SIMILAR VENUE - PERFECT FOR A SPECIAL GIFT, FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE, OR AS AN ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION. MEASUREMENTS ARE 13 ½ W X 28 H X 7 ½ D.

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 #113B HIGHEST GRADE SETH THOMAS WESTMINSTER MOVEMENT, DESIGNED FOR A 15 INCH PENDULUM DROP, HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY DISASSEMBLED, INSPECTED AND CLEANED WITH ULTRASONICS.

ALL WORN PIVOT BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED, AND ALL THREE MAINSPRINGS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW FINEST QUALITY MAINSPRINGS - TO ASSURE EXTENDED AND RELIABLE LONG TERM PERFORMANCE. IMPORTANT NOTICE: I MENTIONED ABOVE THAT ALL 3 MAINSPRINGS WERE REPLACED (TIME, CHIME, HOUR STRIKE) WITH FINEST QUALITY MAINSPRINGS.

THIS STEP IN THE RESTORATION OF A 113 SERIES MOVEMENT IS CRITICAL, BECAUSE THE OLD FATIGUED MAINSPRINGS WILL NOT YIELD THE LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE DESIRED IN TERMS OF CHIME TEMPO, HOUR STRIKE TEMPO, TIME ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY. THESE FINEST QUALITY MAINSPRINGS ARE EXPENSIVE, AND INCLUDED IN MY RESTORATION. SUPERSIZE PHOTO 9 SHOWS FRONT AND REAR DETAIL OF THE SUPERIOR NUMBER 113B SETH MOVEMENT. AS INFORMATION, THE 113B IS NEARLY TWICE AS LARGE, AND IS MUCH HEAVIER THAN THE WELL KNOWN SETH #124 WESTMINSTER MOVEMENT.

THE 113B WAS DESIGNED FOR USE IN SETHS PREMIER GRADE OF HIGHEST QUALITY LARGER WALL AND CABINET CLOCKS OF THE EARLY 1900S. ALL OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE MOVEMENT WERE INSPECTED AND CORRECTED, IF NECESSARY, READYING THE MOVEMENT FOR YEARS AND YEARS OF SERVICE.

THE MOVEMENT WAS THEN PROPERLY REASSEMBLED, LUBRICATED, TESTED AND ADJUSTED WITH BOTH ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL INSTRUMENTATION. A FINAL PORTION OF THE SERVICE PROCESS IS ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL TESTING OF THE MOVEMENT FOR PENDULUM BEAT ERROR, RATE, RELIABILITY AND OTHER FUNCTIONS I HAVE SOME RESTORATION AND TESTING ILLUSTRATIONS IN THE PHOTOS, SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK.

NOTICE IN SUPERSIZE PHOTO 12. THE PICTURE SHOWS ELECTRONIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE PENDULUM BEAT, WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF APPROACHING ZERO ERROR, MEANING BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SWINGS OF THE PENDULUM HAVE THE SAME AMPLITUDE AND DURATION CHARACTERISTICS. THIS RESTORED #113B MOVEMENT EASILY ACHIEVED AND HELD ZERO ERROR. ALL OF MY DISTINCTIVECLOCKS SETH THOMAS ANTIQUE CLOCKS ARE FULLY RESTORED IN EVERY WAY UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED OTHERWISE. MY SINCERE HOPE IS TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS IN EVERY WAY.
