THE EIGHT DAY SETH THOMAS #124A WESTMINSTER MOVEMENT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY SERVICED, INCLUDING: FULL DISASSEMBLY, INSPECTION, CLEANING, REASSEMBLY, LUBRICATION, AND BENCH TESTING WITH BOTH MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTATION. SUPERSIZE PHOTO 11 HIGHLIGHTS A PORTION OF THE TESTING, AS FOLLOWS. IN THE LEFT INSET, THE PENDULUM BEAT ERROR IS TO BE MINIMIZED, WITH ZERO AS AN IDEAL OBJECTIVE. THIS RESTORED #124A MOVEMENT EASILY ACHIEVED ZERO, INDICATING THAT BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SWINGS OF THE PENDULUM ARE OF EQUAL DURATION AND AMPLITUDE. IN THE RIGHT INSET, THE MOVEMENT IS ADJUSTED TO MAINTAIN 10,584 BEATS PER HOUR, THE DESIGN OBJECTIVE FOR THE MOVEMENT TO MAINTAIN TIME ACCURATELY. THE #124A MOVEMENT MAINTAINS THE OBJECTIVE RATE, AND HAS THE CAPABILITY TO BE ADJUSTED IN THE HOME TO ACCOMMODATE VARYING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS THAT MAY CHANGE PENDULUM BEAT RATE. NUMEROUS OTHER TESTS AND ADJUSTMENT ARE MADE AS PART OF THE FINAL RESTORATION PHASE.

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! 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!! THE SETH THOMAS CHIME 95 GLORIOUSLY CHIMES EACH ¼ HOUR ON THE RESONANT CATHEDRAL CHIME RODS IN THE SPECIALLY DESIGNED SOUND CHAMBER, FOLLOWED BY THE FULL WESTMINSTER CHIME SEQUENCE AT THE HOUR COUNT THE NEW OWNER WILL TRULY LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING THIS GRAND CLOCK – AS KIND OF A TRADITION IN THE HOME.

THE CHIMES CAN BE SILENCED BY TURNING A SHAFT ACCESSIBLE VIA A SMALL HOLE BETWEEN 4 AND 5 ON THE DIAL.

HIGHLY AMPLIFIED PENDULUM BEAT-ESCAPEMENT/VERGE/CRUTCH AND TIME GEAR TRAIN OPERATION SOUNDS OF THE #124A 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.
