PLEASE STUDY THE SUPERSIZE HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOS TO REVIEW ALL ASPECTS OF THE CHIME CLOCK NUMBER 61.

THE WINDING HOLE NEAR THE 8 IS FOR THE HOUR COUNT CHIME; THE ONE NEAR THE 4 IS FOR THE TIME TRAIN. BOTH THE HOUR COUNT AND TIME TRAIN ARE HANDLED BY THE NO. ANOTHER HOLE AT THE 3 IS FOR WINDING THE QUARTER-HOUR WESTMINSTER CHIMES, HANDLED BY THE NO. A SMALLER HOLE BELOW THE HAND SHAFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DIAL IS FOR ACCESSING THE SLOW-FAST TIME ADJUSTMENT, AND A SLIDE LEVER ON THE SIDE OF THE CASE. SHOWN IN SUPERSIZE PHOTO 2.

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. EXCEEDING YOUR EXPECTATIONS IS MY DESIRE, RATHER THAN SIMPLY SELL YOU AN ANTIQUE CLOCK.

THE RESTORATION PROCESS INCLUDED COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY AND INSPECTION OF EVERY ASPECT OF THE CLOCK. THE MAYLAND CHIME RODS AND CHIME ROD MOUNTING BANK WAS CAREFULLY INSPECTED FOR HAIRLINE FISSURES. MAYLAND CHIME RODS, AS WELL AS MOST CHIME RODS, TAPER TO A VERY SMALL DIAMETER INSIDE OF THE MOUNTING BLOCK AREA, IN ORDER TO PRODUCE THE FINE PITCH, TONE AND TIMBRE AS DESIGNED. AT THAT TAPER POINT THE RODS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HAIRLINE CRACKS FROM ABUSE OR MISHANDLING. THE HAIRLINES WILL ALTER OR EVEN ELIMINATE THE DESIGN PITCH, TONE AND TIMBRE.

MY INSPECTION AND TESTING PROCEDURE INCLUDES A PRECISE ROD-BY-ROD COMPARISON WITH MY ELECTRONICALLY VERIFIED MAYLAND STANDARDS FOR THE CORRECT PITCH, TONE, TIMBRE AND DECAY OF EACH NOTE. THE HIGHEST GRADE WELL BUILT CABINET AND OTHER CASE-ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS WERE THOROUGHLY INSPECTED AS WELL. BOTH THE 89AM TIME AND HOUR STRIKE MOVEMENT, AND THE 119 CHIME MOVEMENT WERE DISASSEMBLED, CLEANED WITH ULTRASONICS, INSPECTED IN DETAIL FOR CONDITION OF THE PIVOT BUSHINGS, GEAR TRAIN, AND ARBOR OR PIVOT ABNORMALITIES. OUT OF TOLERANCE BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED.

EVERY OPERATIONAL ASPECT OF EACH MOVEMENT WAS ADDRESSED. THE MOVEMENTS WERE THEN REASSEMBLED AND PROPERLY LUBRICATED; MAINSPRINGS IN BOTH MOVEMENTS WERE SERVICED, TESTED FOR SPECIFICATIONS, PROPERLY CLEANED AND LUBRICATED, RETENSIONED AND REPLACED. MAINSPRINGS IN THE #89AM WERE REPLACED WITH HIGHEST GRADE 120 INCH MAINSPRINGS, NOT INEXPENSIVE SUBSTITUTES. AFTER REASSAMBLY, APPROPRIATE ADJUSTMENTS FOR TIME, CHIME, HOUR STRIKE, SYNCHRONIZATION, PENDULUM RATE AND BEAT ERROR ETC WERE ACCOMPLISHED USING MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC MEANS. AN EXTENDED BENCH RUN TEST FOLLOWED. SEVERAL PHOTOS OF THE RESTORATION WORK AND TESTING ARE INCLUDED AS INFORMATION FOR THE VIEWER. NOTICE IN PHOTO 12 THE PENDULUM BEAT ERROR ADJUSTMENT AND THE PENDULUM BEAT RATE ADJUSTMENT - THIS RESTORED 89AG MOVEMENT ADJUSTED TO ZERO BEAT ERROR AND 9,777 BEATS PER HOUR THE PROPER OPERATING PARAMETERS FOR THE MOVEMENT. BOTH MOVEMENTS IN THE CHIME 61 WERE RESTORED TO SUPERIOR CONDITIION. THE PENDULUM SWING ARC OF THIS RESTORED #89AG MOVEMENT IS A FULL 3 5/8 INCHES, VERY ROBUST AND EXCEEDING ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONS. A HEALTY PENDULUM SWING IS A POSITIVE INDICATOR OF A HEALTHY MOVEMENT THAT HAS VERY LITTLE FRICTION AND LOTS OF ENERGY. 61 - 1921 WILL BE THE CENTER-PIECE OF A GRAND DECORATIVE SETTING, AND IT IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT, BECAUSE ITS VALUE WILL CONTINUE TO APPRECIATE YEAR AFTER YEAR. 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.
