BE SURE AND LISTEN TO THE LOVELY MELLOW TIMBRE OF THE YORK - 1913 VIA THE ATTACHED E COMMERCE AUDIO PLAYER SOUND FILES!! RESTORATION AND TECHNICAL DETAILS THE SETH THOMAS FINEST ROUND 48R MOVEMENT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY SERVICED, INCLUDING: FULL DISASSEMBLY, INSPECTION, CLEANING, REBUSHING AT KEY BEARING WEAR POINTS, REASSEMBLY, LUBRICATION, AND BENCH TESTING USING ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL INSTRUMENTATION. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS 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 HAMMER AND HAMMER ASSEMBLY · CONDITION OF THE TIME TRAIN AND HOUR STRIKE TRAIN GOVERNOR TO INSURE THAT PROPER GEAR SPEED IS MAINTAINED · CONDITION OF THE LEATHER TIP ON THE CHIME HAMMER TO INSURE APPROPRIATE TONE, TIMBRE AND DECAY OF THE NOTE WHEN EACH IS STRUCK · NUMEROUS ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT ARE COMPONENTS OF PROPER SERVICING IMPORTANT: NOTICE SUPERSIZE PHOTO 11 - AN ELECTRONIC TEST IS UNDERWAY TO MINIMIZE THE PENDULUM BEAT ERROR, WITH AN OBJECTIVE OF APPROACHING ZERO. THIS RESTORED FINE ROUND MOVEMENT MET AND HELD ZERO BEAT ERROR AS WELL AS STABLE BEAT RATE, 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 ! ALSO NOTICE IN PHOTO 11 – THE PENDULUM BEAT RATE IS ADJUSTED TO 10,698 BEATS PER HOUR FOR THE CORRECT TIME KEEPING OF THE 48R MOVEMENT. FURTHER ADJUSTMENT IN THE ENVIRONMENT THAT THE CLOCK RESIDES IS A SIMPLE PROCEDURE WHICH IS EXPLAINED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THE YORK. THE RESTORED FINE ROUND MOVEMENT SWINGS A PENDULUM ARC AMPLITUDE WIDTH OF OVER 3 7/8 INCHES AS MEASURED FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BOB AT LEFT SWING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BOB AT RIGHT SWING. THIS EXCEEDS ORIGINAL SPECS AND INDICATES A STRONG AND HEALTHY MOVMENT WITH VIRTUALLY NO FRICTION AND PLENTY OF RESERVE ENERGY . BEWARE OF A FINE ROUND MOVEMENT WITH 2 1/2 INCHES OR LESS PENDULUM AMPLITUDE ARC WIDTH; IT IS A TALE-TALE INDICATOR OF POOR MOVEMENT HEALTH!! IT BEARS MENTIONING THAT A “COMPETE SERVICE AND RESTORE” JOB AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, WHEN DONE BY A COMPETENT PROFESSIONAL IS IN THE $250 RANGE. THAT IS ANOTHER REASON FOR THE DISCRIMINATING EBAY ANTIQUE BUYER TO CHOOSE WISELY WHEN PURCHASING!! WHY TAKE A CHANCE BY PURCHASING A CLOCK OF UNKNOWN CREDENTIALS, WHEN YOU CAN BE CONFIDENT WITH A DISTINCTIVECLOCKS PURCHASE – ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT ON SUCH A FINE AND RARE “YORK - 1913” THAT WILL GROW IN VALUE EACH YEAR!! THIS IS A MEDIUM SIZE CABINET CLOCK SUITABLE FOR MANTLE, TABLE, SHELF OR WALL BRACKET DISPLAY - IDEAL FOR PERSONAL USE, YOUR COLLECTION, OR A SPECIAL GIFT. MEASUREMENTS ARE 7” W X 10" H X 6” D. WORKMANSHIP AND QUALITY – ALL OF MY DISTINCTIVECLOCKS SETH THOMAS ANTIQUE CLOCKS ARE FULLY RESTORED IN EVERY WAY UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED OTHERWISE. GREAT CARE IS TAKEN TO INSURE THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE FUNCTIONS PROPERLY, IS FULLY OPERATIONAL, MEETS OR EXCEEDS ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE SPECS, AND IS BENCH TESTED WHEN SHIPPED. MY SINCERE HOPE IS TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS IN EVERY WAY. AS WITH ALL MECHANICAL CLOCK MOVEMENTS, SOME ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE NECESSARY WHEN SETTING UP AFTER SHIPMENT, AND THE CLOCK IS SOLD AS IS. ENJOY THE BIDDING – IF YOU NEED OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT ME, STEVE.
