hi
I just was searching for information on thisclock, the howard miller Quartz W993, because when I put the battery in the pendulum would not move. Not even a hint. Several searches came up empty until I notced this help. Not until I read it and appreciated the complex undertaking it would be I...
Thank you.
Working on that now. Needs cleaning. Trying to see where problem is that is preventing it from runningIt appears that the mainspring gear wont move. But it needs a lot of attention from a very inexperienced me. Ill chirp when the time comes. thanks.
I picked up a nice looking Seth Thomas Adamantine Mantel clock that needs some work. I have some questions with parts and one assembly question. I am an inexperienced learning unit so if the questions sound elementary... thanks for the help that I always receive. Hank Buck

Hi again,
I completed the repair and straightened the leader and it has been running a week now. i have a question and I am going to sell it as my wife hates the bell and it doesent really fit my home. Can you or anybdy Identify the style of the movement?
It would help because this is a pretty...
That makes a lot of sense with the pin. Better to have it fasten the susp spring in place but not friction welded. Hence, the bending over of the tag end. As I look at it the 2 fingers that hang on the suspension spring are parallel to the rear plate (plane) of the movement. Then as we go lower...
Hello again:
I ordered a few of the springs and finally got down to it and wanted to share the results. I ordered 3 and although I did not break one yet, "the future 's uncertain and the end is always near" i lined up the holes and used the existing pin which made it through up to a hair's width...
thanks
Poor choice of words all around. I guess I meant generic instructions on how to operate. I thought that on clocks with weights that pulling on them wound the clock. If that is the case, then what would be the purpose of the arbor that winds the clock. Is it that you have a choice? That...
Hello all:
I have a piece that feature a reproduction of a Odobez a` Morbier 1708 clock face on a box with an ODO movement. It has a broken suspension spring that I believe I can install but am unsure about how to order it and get what I need. An issue that is perplexing me is that it appears...
All I know is what I could seewhich one of the photos showed. The title states what was on one of the tiles at the base of the face. Odobez a` Morbier 1708 . Is it just a reproduced face of an antique clock on a case with an ODO works? I am wondering if the complete posing came through or rhe...
Hi all- I saw this at an auction and had to get it so i did. I dont know much about it, so any info would be appreciated. I am sure it a reproduction and it has an ODO time and strike. It's back plate has 67 on it with 7622393511 below it. The obvious is that a suspension spring will have to be...
I am glad it worked. You are correct with door and bezel being opened shift the clocks. Scared me on more than one occasion. It is a nice thing to hand down. I would like to do the same thing but fear if there is anything more involved than charging a device will meet with displeasure. But, you...
Jim:
That is exceptional. I couldnt have asked for more. I am confident I can tackle this once I find parts. Thank you.i will keep you posted.
Hey Nutmegtinker,
For those events when the hole is too large and I dont want to try to get a larger screw that may stand out, I either break some...
