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 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 EXTREMELY WELL-BUILT CASE AND OTHER CASE-ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS WERE THOROUGHLY INSPECTED AS WELL. BOTH THE 89AM TIME AND HOUR STRIKE MOVEMENT, AND THE 119H 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.

THE LEATHER CHIME HAMMER TIPS WERE REPLACED TO INSURE CONDITION IN ORDER TO PRODUCE THE TRUE TIMBRE NOTES CHARACTERISTIC OF THE ORIGINAL MAYLAND CHIME RODS. JUST LISTEN TO THE ATTACHED SOUND FILES FOR AN ACCURATE RENDERING OF THE SOUND FROM THIS ELEGANT CHIME 64.

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 9 THE PENDULUM BEAT ERROR ADJUSTMENT AND THE PENDULUM BEAT RATE ADJUSTMENT - THIS RESTORED 89AM MOVEMENT ADJUSTED TO ZERO BEAT ERROR AND 9,777 BEATS PER HOUR THE PROPER OPERATING PARAMETERS FOR THE MOVEMENT. BOTH MOVEMENTS IN THE CHIME 64 WERE RESTORED TO.

THE PENDULUM SWING ARC OF THIS RESTORED #89AM MOVEMENT IS A FULL 3 1/2 INCHES, VERY ROBUST AND EXCEEDING ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONS. A HEALTY PENDULUM SWING IS A POSITIVE INDICATOR OF A HEALTY MOVEMENT THAT HAS VERY LITTLE FRICTION AND LOTS OF ENERGY. NOTICE IN PHOTO 10 THE CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF THE #119 CHIME MOVEMENT. THESE MUST BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BECAUSE SPARE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I INSPECT THESE WITH SPECIAL CARE TO INSURE LONG TERM RELIABILITY.

64 - 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.
