THE SETH THOMAS FINE ROUND MOVEMENT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY SERVICED, INCLUDING: FULL DISASSEMBLY, INSPECTION, CLEANING, REBUSHING AT KEY BEARING WEAR POINTS, REASSEMBLY, LUBRICATION, AND BENCH TESTING USING ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL INSTRUMENTATION.

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS 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 HAMMER AND HAMMER ASSEMBLY. CONDITION OF THE TIME TRAIN AND HOUR STRIKE TRAIN GOVERNOR TO INSURE THAT PROPER GEAR SPEED IS MAINTAINED.

RFULL SERVICE OF THE MAINSPRINGS INCLUDING UNLOADING, INSPECTION FOR CONDITION AND MEETING SPECIFICATIONS, CLEANING AND LUBRICATION, RELOADING AND TESTING. NUMEROUS ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT ARE COMPONENTS OF PROPER SERVICING. IMPORTANT: NOTICE SUPERSIZE PHOTO 11. AN ELECTRONIC TEST IS UNDERWAY TO MINIMIZE THE PENDULUM BEAT ERROR, WITH AN OBJECTIVE OF APPROACHING ZERO. THIS RESTORED FINE ROUND MOVEMENT MET AND HELD ZERO BEAT ERROR AS WELL AS STABLE BEAT RATE, INDICATING A VERY HEALTHY MOVEMENT.

AS INFORMATION, ERRATIC PENDULUM BEAT ERROR AND/OR BEAT RATE TESTS THAT WILL NOT STABILIZE ARE INDICATIVE OF HEALTH PROBLEMS IN THE MOVEMENT. THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY I ALWAYS RUN THOROUGH TESTS AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES ON MY DISTINCTIVECLOCKS! THE RESTORED FINE ROUND MOVEMENT SWINGS A PENDULUM ARC AMPLITUDE WIDTH OF OVER 3 ½ INCHES AS MEASURED FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BOB AT LEFT SWING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BOB AT RIGHT SWING. THIS EXCEEDS ORIGINAL SPECS AND INDICATES A STRONG AND HEALTHY MOVMENT WITH VIRTUALLY NO FRICTION AND PLENTY OF RESERVE ENERGY. BEWARE OF A FINE ROUND MOVEMENT WITH 2 1/4 INCHES OR LESS PENDULUM AMPLITUDE ARC WIDTH; IT IS A TALE-TALE INDICATOR OF POOR MOVEMENT HEALTH!

THIS IS A MEDIUM SIZE CABINET CLOCK SUITABLE FOR MANTLE, TABLE, SHELF OR WALL BRACKET DISPLAY - IDEAL FOR PERSONAL USE, YOUR COLLECTION, OR A SPECIAL GIFT. MEASUREMENTS ARE 10 W X 11 H X 7 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.
