    Kieninger Grand Father movments:

    The movement was stuck. I removed it from the case, placed it on a stand, and nudged it a little, now it seems to be running correctly. I have a hunch that I caused the problem by rotating the movement counter clock wise to set it. If I find that I am wrong on this, I'll post remarks to this...

    Kieninger Grand Father movments:

    One of the movements is a tube chime strike that was working, chiming, and counting the hours prior to my setting the time counter clock wise. The other movement is a chime rod movement that chimes, and counts the hours. Both of these movements were working as they are supposed to, chiming, and...

    Kieninger Grand Father movments:

    I have two Kieninger movements that were counting the hours, but won't do it any more. I set both movements time as I understood the instructions. I set the time counter clock wise now the movements won't count the hours. Can any one advise me on this? Thanks. AL

The second and third hammer seem to me to hang up on the strike phase on some phases i:e the hour count begins, and...

    American PW Hampden model 4 16 sz. Balance Jewels.

    To place this in the proper perspective. Please understand that this project was started over twenty years ago when my knowledge was considerably less than what it is today. What I did with the original staff is beyond my remberance. The upper, and lower balance jewels were broken or missing...

    American PW Hampden model 4 16 sz. Balance Jewels.

    I am stumped!!! I rerstaffed a model 4 16 size Hampden McKinley. The Hampden parts catalog calls for a 3720. The length of which is 5.13 which is way to short. I tried a 2720 which is 5.60 long, to long, it doesn't fit. I bought new jewels for the cock, and foot. I still cannot get the 3720 to...

    Howard Miller Grandfather Clock:

    Shutterbug, thank you very much, you have been very helpful. I have used bonded nylon twine which is used to fasten gill (fishing) nets to the float, and lead line (anchor line) which is much stronger than cotton twine. I will restring all of the tubes as the old ones are about to break. While...
