Separate names with a comma.
When a pinion is damaged on a second wheel (T2 or S2), the reason is usually that the main spring broke. In that case you also often see the outer...
!) I would think that the crutch should be attached to that brass collet next to the opening in the back plate. There should be a bore in the...
Looking at my (limited) reference books it seems that flame finials were rarely used in English and Scottish longcase clocks. The one on top of...
The rate is steady, as the OP says, and is moderately too high, even though the pendulum bob is all the way down. In that case, my first suspect...
That's what I would use too. As a pre-clean you could put it into a bowl with an ammoniated cleaner and let it soak for a while. Uhralt
Sounds like an interesting project. If you could show pictures of what you have, we might be able to help you better. Uhralt
If I can see it correctly, there are 3 batteries, corresponding to 4.5 volts. Uhralt
Thanks for the pictures. This is a rather uncommon design. Now that the pipe is straightened, do you have some friction? Uhralt
I'm not quite sure what you are trying to achieve. Do you want to protect the brass from being tarnished when used on a stove or do you want to...
To straighten the pipe, you could insert a fitting smooth broach from the back. This will prevent the pipe to collapse while trying to straighten...
The pipe should be a light friction fit on the arbor. The arbor is very slightly conical, so the deeper the pipe is pushed on the arbor, the more...
This is good to know! Which voltage is used for the pulse? Uhralt
Others will be able to tell you who the maker of this clock is. It is German, I think from around 1910/1920. "Gesetzlich geschuetzt,...
Both ways will work. I personally use the flat punch because I believe (without having proof) that it may shrink the hole more evenly throughout...
Not my cup of tea, but the calendar is a nice feature. Uhralt
I made the same observation. On some dials it looks like there is a period, in others not. Uhralt
Oh, I didn't read previous posts carefully enough. However, it is a low key b here. The name is Straub. Both Straub and Strauss (with an eszett)...
"Chairman" would have been more appropriate...:) Uhralt
My first clock was a Black Forest clock from a flea market in Germany, bought in 1972. A "Schild" clock with a very nicely painted dial plate, the...
Some of the auction houses seem to read it this way. However, I don't think it is the word Bin. I rather think "B" it is an addendum to the name...
