WHEN PROPERLY RESTORED, THE WIDE SWEEP AND ARC AMPLITUDE WIDTH OF THE PENDULUM BEAT ON THE RESTORED MOVEMENT WILL BE VERY HEALTHY.

AS INFORMATION, BEWARE IF A FINE ROUND 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 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. ANOTHER ADJUSTMENT, IS THE PENDULUM BEAT RATE ITSELF, MEASURED IN BEATS PER HOUR – PROPER BEAT RATE INSURES THE ABILITY TO REGULATE THE TIME KEEPING, AND IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE PREVIOUS ADJUSTMENT. BECAUSE THE STRATFORD HAS A LONG PENDULUM LENGTH, IT’S BEAT IS SLOWER, AND PRODUCES A VERY PLEASING TIC TOC SOUND IN ITS DISPLAY AREA, COMPARED WITH A FASTER BEAT AND MORE RAPID TIC TOC SOUND IN SMALLER MANTLE OR SHELF PENDULUM CLOCKS. IN ADDITION, THE LONGER PENDULUM PRODUCES GREATER TIME KEEPING ACCURACY THAN OTHER CLOCKS. YOU WILL ENJOY HAVING THE STRATFORD AS PART OF YOUR HOME OR OFFICE DECOR! THE HALF HOUR IS SOUNDED ON A CATHEDRAL BELL SPIRAL GONG – THE SOUND IS MELLOW AND RESONANT, WITH A LOVELY LINGERING DECAY OF THE NOTE; THE HOUR COUNT FOLLOWS, WITH EACH HOUR ANNOUNCED AS A STRIKE ON THE CATHEDRAL BELL GONG. PLEASE REMEMBER TO HEAR THE STRATFORD VIA THE ATTACHED SOUND FILES. THE NOTES STRUCK FROM THIS PARTICULAR CATHEDRAL GONG HAVE A WONDERFUL AND LINGERING DECAY. LISTEN AND YOU WILL HEAR WHAT I MEAN. THIS IS A FULL SIZE GOTHIC CATHEDRAL CABINET STYLE MANTLE CLOCK – AN IDEAL SIZE – SUITABLE FOR MANTLE, TABLE, SHELF OR WALL BRACKET DISPLAY – PERFECT FOR A SPECIAL GIFT, FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE, OR AS AN ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION. MEASUREMENTS ARE 9 ½” W X 15″ H X 6 ½ D. 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. INFORMATION ABOUT THE SOUND FILES. THREE SOUND FILES OF THE SETH STRATFORD – 1905 IN OPERATION ARE AVAILABLE. PENDULUM BEAT-ESCAPEMENT/VERGE/CRUTCH AND TIME GEAR TRAIN OPERATION SOUNDS OF THE #48R MOVEMENT – LISTEN FOR CLEAN AND EVEN SOUND, REGULARITY, AND THE ABSENCE OF ODD NOISES. HOUR STRIKE AND HALF HOUR STRIKE AT 2:00 – 2:30 – 3:00 – 3:30 – 4:00 – 4:30 – 5:00 – LISTEN FOR PURE NOTES WITH GOOD TIMBRE, RICH DECAY AND ZESTY TEMPO OF THE MOVEMENT RATHER THAN SLOW/SLUGGISH TEMPO. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SOUND RECORDING. THE MICROPHONE IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE MOVEMENT FOR RECORDING PURPOSES, AND SOME NORMAL GEAR TRAIN OPERATION SOUNDS WILL BE HEARD. THE OPERATION SOUNDS ARE NOT NOTICED AT TYPICAL LISTENING DISTANCES.
