THE EIGHT DAY EARLIEST ISSUE OF THE #48Q FINEST ROUND SETH THOMAS MOVEMENT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY DISASSEMBLED, INSPECTED AND CLEANED WITH ULTRASONICS. ALL WORN PIVOT BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED. AND BOTH THE TIME AND STRIKE MAINSPRINGS WERE UNLOADED, SERVICED, TESTED AND LUBRICATED, AND RELOADED. MAINSPRINGS ARE A CRITICAL ENERGY LINK TO ASSURE EXTENDED AND RELIABLE LONG TERM PERFORMANCE. ALL OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE MOVEMENT WERE INSPECTED AND CORRECTED, IF NECESSARY, READYING THE MOVEMENT FOR YEARS AND YEARS OF SERVICE. THE MOVEMENT WAS THEN PROPERLY REASSEMBLED, LUBRICATED, TESTED AND ADJUSTED WITH BOTH ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL INSTRUMENTATION. THE RESTORED EARLY NO. 48R MOVEMENT IS TOTALLY HEALTHY. THE AMPLITUDE WIDTH IS A FULL 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 FAR EXCEEDS THE MINIMUM SPEC OF 2 1/4 INCHES!!! THE ROBUST AMPLITUDE WIDTH INDICATES THE MOVEMENT IS IN THE HIGHEST STATE OF GOOD HEALTH, WITH VIRTUALLY NO FRICTION, NO DRAG, AND PLENTY OF RESERVE ENERGY FROM THE MAINSPRINGS. AS INFORMATION, BEWARE IF A #48R MOVEMENT HAS AN ANEMIC PENDULUM BEAT SWING BECAUSE IT IS A TALE-TALE INDICATOR OF POOR MOVEMENT HEALTH AND THE NEED FOR EXTENSIVE SERVICE WORK. A FINAL PORTION OF THE SERVICE PROCESS IS ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL TESTING OF THE MOVEMENT FOR PENDULUM BEAT ERROR, RATE, RELIABILITY AND OTHER FUNCTIONS I HAVE SOME RESTORATION AND TESTING ILLUSTRATIONS IN THE PHOTOS, SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK. NOTICE IN SUPERSIZE PHOTO 11. THE LEFT INSET PICTURE SHOWS ELECTRONIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE PENDULUM BEAT, WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF APPROACHING ZERO ERROR, MEANING BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SWINGS OF THE PENDULUM HAVE THE SAME AMPLITUDE AND DURATION CHARACTERISTICS. THIS RESTORED #48R MOVEMENT EASILY ACHIEVED AND HELD ZERO ERROR. THE RIGHT INSET PHOTO SHOWS THE PENDULUM BEAT RATE ADJUSTMENT SETUP, WITH AN OBJECTIVE OF 9,654 BEATS PER HOUR FOR THE #48R MOVEMENT. AGAIN, THE RESTORED #48R FINEST ROUND MOVEMENT ACHIEVED THE PROPER BEAT RATE TO ASSURE THE NECESSARY ACCURACY IN TIMEKEEPING, AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FOR DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS IN THE FUTURE.
