    Peened it, filed it a bit, and now the slop is gone!!

    Ansonia A movement crutch rod question

    I've noticed when setting the time, the minute hand is very loose on the arbor. It's like the square hole is too big, either by it being a replacement of the wrong size or just worn from so many years of use. Is there a simple way to close up that hole? I was thinking of peening around it or...

    RC, Looks like you are right on. After counting the teeth and pinions as you labeled them, and using both a calculator and the spreadsheet you listed above, I got 5485.7 BPH for this movement. This also agrees with the numbers in my Timetrax book. I thought that was the number earlier, but until...

    Thanks Willie, that's pretty much how I've been rating clocks. It's good to know that I've been on the right track!

    I'd still like to learn which wheels are which, it will give me a better understanding of how to identify each wheel and compute BPH formulas. More knowledge is always a good thing!

    Here's a picture of the movement with the wheels I'm sure of labeled. Can someone label the last ones so I'm sure of which ones to count for the BPH? Hopefully, this will get me to the end.

    What software gave you that readout? Can I get that using my Timetrax 185?

    Is the center wheel the wheel that the hour cannon is on?

    Thanks Willie. I refuse to let let an inanimate object defeat me, and I can't stand half-ass work, especially when I have the awesome guidance you guys have given me. I would have been letting all of us down by not getting it right.

    I wasn't that concerned with the beat on the stand, I will get it better when it's in the case.

    Ansonia A movement crutch rod question

    Ok, guys. It's going back into the case to get the beat set again, and get rated. I'm trying to figure out the beats per hour so I can use my Timetrax 185 for rating. The great wheel=84T The second wheel=80T, 7PT The third wheel=72T, 6PT EW=40T, 7PT BPH=(80x72x2x40) / (6x7)=460,800 / 42=10,971...

    This clock is another Frankenstein. It sure has been a learning experience. I'm fixing this for a good friend that's in his 80's and doesn't have the skills/tools to do it himself. He has come up with "clever" fixes on other clocks over the last few years though, and they have run, even though I...

    You say better, does that mean it's good where it is, or do I need to go closer? Thanks.

    Ansonia A movement crutch rod question

    Here it is, I'm guessing about .007" closer to EW. Tell me it's good, guys!

    I'm a bit nervous about moving the pallet dog bone. What are the consequences of not moving it?

    Ansonia A movement crutch rod question

    That saddle is pretty tight. I don't think I have the tools/ability to move it that precisely. What is the best method of moving the saddle such a small amount accurately?

    I just got the movement back from Richard Cox. He made a new escape wheel and cleaned up the pallets. I'd like an opinion on how everything looks and if it sounds in beat. Thanks guys!

    Done. Spoke with Richard yesterday.
