Here is a most beautiful Seth Thomas Alto model from 1921 that has been fully restored inside and out and is in excellent working and cosmetic condition! The original Seth Thomas #89AD movement has been completely disassembled and all parts cleaned ultrasonically. All of the wheels and their pivots were polished on the Lathe and 5 new brass bushings were installed. The time side mainspring has been replaced and both mainsprings that power the clock were properly cleaned and greased. The movement then reassembled and tested in the test stand before being reinstalled in the case. The clock keeps very good time and strikes pleasantly once on the half hour and the full number of strikes on the hour on a coiled cathedral gong. The original Adamantine veneer cabinet has been highly polished and presents beautifully with no flaws or chips. Please see all of my high resolution photos. The dial presents as new and is in excellent condition and the brass bezel has been highly polished and opens and closes as it should. A great example of a classic Seth Thomas Adamantine clock. The clock needs to be wound weekly on both arbors with included 2 sided key (small end for fast/slow adjustment). As with all of my clocks, I would make myself available for any help with setup and ongoing care. Please see my feedback and sellers other items for more fully restored Antique clocks.

ALSO, THE BEAT RATE ACHIEVED THE OBJECTIVE 10,584 BEATS PER HOUR, CORRECT FOR THE #124 MOVEMENT, INDICATING A VERY HEALTHY MOVEMENT.
