• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    Mathias Bauerle Peerless 1 Million - Quarter and half chime issue

    Thanks for the detailed post. You are correct, the clock has an excellent sound, no doubt about that. I feel like I am so close to having it run perfectly. Other than the issue I’m having everything else is great, time keeping is very close to perfection. I will continue to persevere with this...

    Thanks Willie. Adding this to the list. After the overhaul I was told by the repairer that all bushings and arbors were in great condition, Thanks again.

    Mathias Bauerle Peerless 1 Million - Quarter and half chime issue

    Thanks very much for your advice. I am compiling a list of the suggestions that I cannot take care of myself. I really want to get to the bottom of this. The clock repair guy is too busy to take a look at the moment. Pulling the movement apart is not too appealing to me, right now I have the...

    Mathias Bauerle Peerless 1 Million - Quarter and half chime issue

    David, the photo is misleading. The hole is where the threaded rod goes through the seat board. The slot for the cable is not visible, but is plenty long enough. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Mathias Bauerle Peerless 1 Million - Quarter and half chime issue

    Thanks for the input Willie, definitely something to take a look at. When on the stand the hammers were attached to the movement but as the rods etc were still in the case they were silent when operational. Thanks for the input Willie, definitely some great suggestions to take a look at. I have...

    Mathias Bauerle Peerless 1 Million - Quarter and half chime issue

    Loosening the nuts on the seat board did nothing. I removed weights this morning and checked everything for twists/gaps. I now have a .004 and .006 shim under opposing corners of the plates and a .006 and a .014 shim under center of seat board to rails, it has a slight bow across the center...

    Plates are 2.5mm thick, saved a few Deutschmarks on the brass back in the day!

    Mathias Bauerle Peerless 1 Million - Quarter and half chime issue

    I did find an issue after repair when the clock kept stopping, it was hand related, second hand needed to be pushed in as it was contacting the hour hand.. Then I found one hammer rod was slightly too long and was occasionally sticking against the chime rod casting. Very odd considering the...

    Mathias Bauerle Peerless 1 Million - Quarter and half chime issue

    Thanks to all for the replies thus far. I am posting a better photo showing the movement. Cables were relocated slightly to prevent weights from touching. They are well clear of seat board openings for entire travel. Cable drum has plenty of clearance. I have always removed the seat board along...

    Mathias Bauerle Peerless 1 Million - Quarter and half chime issue

    I have a long case clock with a Mathias Bauerle Peerless 1 Million movement. Photos are shown but unfortunately no good photos of the movement. Please note, I think the video may have to be downloaded to play. For reference, it is just about identical to the one in this thread: Peerless -...
