YOUR PERSONAL USE, OR AS AN ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION. MEASUREMENTS ARE 20 W X 9 ½ H X 6 ½ D. PLEASE OBSERVE THAT NEARLY HALF OF MY LISTING PORTFOLIO CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT THE MECHANICAL ASPECTS AND MOVEMENT RESTORATION OF THE CLOCK. YOU DESERVE, AND SHOULD EXPECT, A RESTORED ANTIQUE SETH OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND RELIABILITY. I STRIVE TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS RATHER THAN SIMPLY SELL YOU AN ANTIQUE CLOCK.

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. THOROUGH INSPECTION OF ALL PARTS. COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY AND ULTRASONIC CLEANING. POLISHING OF ALL PIVOTS AND REPLACEMENT OF ANY OUT-OF-TOLERANCE WORN BUSHINGS.

CAREFUL INSPECTION OF ALL WEAR PRONE COMPONENTS. REPLACEMENT OF THE TIME AND THE STRIKE MAINSPRINGS WITH HIGHEST GRADE INCH MAINSPRINGS TO RESTORE SPECIFICATION ENERGY LEVELS TO THE MOVEMENT AND TO INSURE LONG TERM RELIABILITY. I USE THE BEST, NOT THE LESS EXPENSIVE. INSPECTION OF THE CHIME HAMMER LEATHER TO INSURE THE CORRECT QUALITY AND TIMBRE OF EACH NOTE STRUCK. APPLICATION OF MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC TEST EQUIPMENT TO INSURE THE MOVEMENT WILL REGULATE (PROPERLY ADJUST TIME SLOW/FAST), ACHIEVE AN EVEN PENDULUM BEAT, AND OTHER CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS. IMPORTANT: NOTICE SUPERSIZE PHOTO 11. AN ELECTRONIC TEST IS UNDERWAY TO MINIMIZE THE PENDULUM BEAT ERROR, WITH AN OBJECTIVE OF APPROACHING ZERO. THIS RESTORED #120 MOVEMENT MET AND HELD ZERO BEAT ERROR AS WELL AS STABLE BEAT RATE OF 10,584 BEATS PER HOUR, 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 #120 MOVEMENT SWINGS A PENDULUM ARC AMPLITUDE WIDTH OF OVER 3 1/8 INCHES AS MEASURED FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BOB AT LEFT SWING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BOB AT RIGHT SWING. THIS EXCEEDS ORIGINAL SPECS AND INDICATES A STRONG AND HEALTHY MOVMENT WITH VIRTUALLY NO FRICTION AND PLENTY OF RESERVE ENERGY.

BEWARE OF A #120 MOVEMENT WITH 2 1/4 INCHES OR LESS PENDULUM AMPLITUDE ARC WIDTH; IT IS A TALE-TALE INDICATOR OF POOR MOVEMENT HEALTH! PLEASE REVIEW THE SUPERSIZE HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOS TO SEE VARIOUS ANGLES AND ADORNMENTS ON THE CLOCK, SOME ILLUSTRATION OF THE SERVICING ASPECTS OF MY RESTORATIONS, AS WELL AS TO STUDY ALL DETAILS OF THIS LOVELY TAMBOUR. 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.
