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 SETH THOMAS #124. MOVEMENT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY SERVICED, INCLUDING: FULL DISASSEMBLY, INSPECTION, CLEANING, BUSHING REPLACEMENT, REASSEMBLY, LUBRICATION, AND BENCH TESTING USING MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTATION. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN THE #124 MOVEMENT ARE INCLUDED IN THE INSPECTION, ALONG WITH CORRECTIONS IF NECESSARY. BUSHING AND PIVOT WEAR OR ROUGHNESS. ANY BENT PIVOTS OR OTHER PIVOT CONDITIONS. CONDITION OF ARBORS, GEARS, PINIONS. CONDITION OF THE CHIME HAMMERS AND HAMMER ASSEMBLY. CONDITION OF THE CHIME TRAIN AND HOUR STRIKE TRAIN GOVERNORS TO INSURE THAT PROPER GEAR SPEED IS MAINTAINED. CONDITION OF THE LEATHER TIPS ON THE CHIME HAMMERS TO INSURE APPROPRIATE TONE, TIMBRE AND DECAY OF THE NOTE WHEN EACH CHIME IS STRUCK. NUMEROUS ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT ARE COMPONENTS OF PROPER SERVICING. ALL THREE MAINSPRINGS THAT SUPPLY ENERGY TO THE TIME, CHIME AND HOUR STRIKE TRAINS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I USE FINEST QUALITY MAINSPRINGS, NOT INEXPENSIVE REPLACEMENTS!

A SUPERSIZE PHOTO SHOWING THE CLEANED AND SERVICED COMPONENTS AND THE NEW MAINSPRINGS READY TO BE LOADED INTO THE BARRELS IS SHOWN IN PHOTO 10. BE SURE TO TAKE A LOOK. PLEASE NOTE: WEAK MAINSPRINGS AND THE NEED FOR PROPER SERVICING ARE THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF POOR AND UNRELIABLE PERFORMANCE FROM ANTIQUE CLOCKS WITH AN UNKNOWN SERVICE AND CONDITION RECORD!! YOU CAN COUNT ON RELIABILITY AND LONG TERM PERFORMANACE FROM A DISTINCTIVECLOCKS RESTORED SETH THOMAS WHY TAKE A CHANCE ON ANYTHING LESS!!

PORTIONS OF THE TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS PROCESS ARE SHOWN IN SUPERSIZE PHOTO 11. THE PENDULUM BEAT RATE AND BEAT ERROR ARE UNDER TEST. NOTE IN THE LEFT PHOTE THE BEAT ERROR ACHIEVED AND HELD AT ZERO, ANOTHER INDICATION OF A SOUND AND RELIABLE MOVEMENT. THE RIGHT PHOTO INDICATES ADJUSTMENT OF THE PENDULUM BEAT TO ACHIEVE A RATE OF 10,584 BEATS PER HOUR, THE CORRECT RATE FOR ACCURATE TIME KEEPING FROM THE #124. THE PENDULUM SWING AMPLITUDE ARC THE LINEAR DISTANCE OF THE FULL SWING AS MEASURED FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BOB AT FULL LEFT SWING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BOB AT FULL RIGHT SWING. ANYTHING LESS THAN 2 1/4 INCHES INDICATES PROBABLE ISSUES WITH THE MOVEMENT EXCESSIVE FRICTION AT THE PIVOTS AND BUSHINGS, WEAK MAINSPRINGS, BENT PIVOTS, OR A COMBINATION OF THESE.

THE AMPLITUDE ARC ON THIS FULLY RESTORED #124 MOVEMENT IS A FULL 3 1/4 INCHES, EXCEEDING THE ORIGINAL SPECS AND INDICATING EXTREMELY LOW FRICTION, HIGH ENERGY AND EXCELLENT HEALTH. 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. IMPORTANT NOTES ON USING THE E COMMERCE AUDIO PLAYER.

PENDULUM BEAT-ESCAPEMENT/VERGE/CRUTCH AND TIME GEAR TRAIN OPERATION SOUNDS OF THE MOVEMENT LISTEN FOR CLEAN AND EVEN SOUND, REGULARITY, AND THE ABSENCE OF ODD NOISES. WESTMINSTER SEQUENCES AT 7:15 7:30 7:45 LISTEN FOR PURE NOTES WITH GOOD TIMBRE, RICH DECAY AND ZESTY TEMPO OF THE MOVEMENT RATHER THAN SLOW/SLUGGISH TEMPO.
