    What do you use as a "Mark" when setting timing?

    I don't give many opinions on the forums. Here's mine for 2021: I tell folks when I "fix" their clocks that getting a mechanical clock that stays within 2-4 minutes in a week is great. Anything less than 2 min/week is probably luck! I also tell them if they want to really know what time it is...

    We've All Been There

    I once had a similar thing happen, BUT the whizzing piece was a two inch piece of mainspring I was removing from a barrel. That piece was about 2 inches long and had a dagger shaped broken end. That end hit me square between the eyes above my eyebrows. I immediately found myself bleeding like...

    Kundo Cleaning Question

    I am trying to restore a Kundo for a gift. I have limited experience with 400 day movements. The movement is marked as having two jewels. I would normally soak a movement in a commercial solution. I am concerned this might harm whatever was used to fix the jewels in place. Any advice would...

    Pendulum swing. Adjustment? Timekeeping?

    Recently had a guy ask me about expected accuracy on a Howard Miller tall. Seem his clock that I had set up for him after a move was off 6 secs. per day. I basically told him I would love this 42 sec. inaccuracy per rewind week. Any thoughts?

    Tricks of the Trade - Reassembly

    Joe, I found one example of a pivot "getter" at Timesavers. They list it as a PIVOT LOCATOR (Part: 15475). This just happens to be the style I prefer. Others are available. Or you could make one from an old screwdriver or file. It helps in reaching between the plates and pushing or...

    Banjo Clocks with Hull Tablets

    Andy, I have one of these banjo clocks with the Hull glass. My father bought it many years ago at a regional or national. He had to have it since Hull is our last name. The information you have been given is correct in my opinion. Isaac Hull was born in Derby, Conn. in 1773. The battle...

    Maury (Maurey???) Clock
