THE EIGHT DAY FINE ROUND #120 “TIME AND STRIKE” MOVEMENT HAS BEEN INSPECTED, CLEANED, LUBRICATED AND BENCH TESTED – READY FOR YEARS AND YEARS OF SERVICE; MY FULL SERVICE PROCEDURE WAS PERFORMED ON THE MOVEMENT AND INCLUDES.

AS INFORMATION, ERRATIC PENDULUM BEAT ERROR AND/OR BEAT RATE TESTS THAT WILL NOT STABILIZE ARE INDICATIVE OF HEALTH PROBLEMS IN THE MOVEMENT.

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN THE #113A 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 WITH NEW HIGHEST GRADE MAINSPRINGS. 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!! NOTE THAT THE SETH #113A MOVEMENT WEIGHS A FULL 5 1/4 POUNDS, COMPARED WITH THE WEIGHT OF ITS SMALLER BROTHER, THE #124 AT 2 3/8 POUNDS THE #113A TRULY IS THE HIGHEST GRADE WESTMINSTER MOVEMENT PRODUCED BY SETH THOMAS, AND BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PRODUCED. ELECTRONIC TESTS WERE CONDUCTED TO MINIMIZE THE PENDULUM BEAT ERROR, WITH AN OBJECTIVE OF APPROACHING ZERO. THIS RESTORED #113 MOVEMENT MET AND HELD ZERO BEAT ERROR, INDICATING A VERY HEALTHY MOVEMENT. ADDITIONAL TESTS WERE MADE TO INSURE THAT THE PENDULUM BEAT RATE ADJUSTMENT WILL BE CORRECT, WITH THE OBJECTIVE BEING 9,894 BEATS PER HOUR, WHICH THE RESTORED #113A ATTAINED AND HELD. THIS ADJUSTMENT IS IMPORTANT TO ASSURE TIME REGULATION STABILITY, AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO ADJUST THE MOVEMENT LATER FOR VARYING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT MECHANICAL CLOCKS. THE PENDULUM BEAT WIDTH OF 4 1/8 IN IS FANTASTIC FOR A GRAHAM DEADBEAT ESCAPEMENT ACTION MOVEMENT, AND REPRESENTS THE TYPICAL RESULTS I ACHIEVE IN THE MOVEMENT RESTORATION PROCESS. I TREAT EACH RESTORATION AS IF THE COMPLETED CLOCK WILL RESIDE IN MY PERSONAL COLLECTION.
