THE CITY SERIES YORK IS VERY RARE AS ONLY A FEW HAVE COME AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET PLACE - MOST ARE PRIVATELY HELD BECAUSE OF THEIR RARITY AND COLLECTOR APPEAL. THIS ONE IS PART OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION. NOTE THE ORIGINAL RETAIL SALES DATE.

DECEMBER 3, 1912 BY BUNDE&UPMEYER CO, MILWAUKEE. INDICATING THE VERY FIRST RELEASE OF THE YORK. WHICH WAS FIRST CATALOGED IN 1913.

TRULY THE YORK - 1913 IS A TREASURE IN EVERY RESPECT. AS THE CABINET WITH ITS CARVINGS. AND AESTHETIC VISUAL FEATURES IS REMARKABLE. AND THE PREMIUM MOVEMENT AND DIAL ARE SUPERIOR.

THE MELLOW HOUR AND HALF HOUR STRIKE IS TOTALLY PLEASANT AS WELL. THE NARRATIVE IS BRIEF HERE BECAUSE MOST ALL FOLKS LOOKING FOR THE GENUINE YORK CITY SERIES CABINET CLOCK ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THE FINER ASPECTS OF THE CABINET AND 48R FINEST ROUND 8 DAY RACK AND SNAIL STRIKE MOVEMENT. THE COMBINATION OF ELEGANT CABINETRY AND SUPERIOR MOVEMENT AND DIAL ASSEMBLY MAKE FOR A GRAND PACKAGE IN THE CITY SERIES YORK.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A YORK THAT IS A KEEPER, LOOK NO FURTHER! THE HALF HOUR IS SOUNDED BY A RICH AND RESONANT TONE ON THE CATHEDRAL BELL GONG, FOLLOWED BY A FULL HOUR COUNT ON THE CATHEDRAL GONG. BE SURE AND LISTEN TO THE LOVELY MELLOW TIMBRE OF THE YORK - 1913 VIA THE ATTACHED E COMMERCE AUDIO PLAYER SOUND FILES! THE SETH THOMAS FINEST ROUND 48R 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.

CONDITION OF THE LEATHER TIP ON THE CHIME HAMMER TO INSURE APPROPRIATE TONE, TIMBRE AND DECAY OF THE NOTE WHEN EACH IS STRUCK. 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 7/8 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 FINE ROUND MOVEMENT WITH 2 1/2 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 7 W X 10 H X 6 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.
