    How Do I Adjust Beat In This Movement?

    Before I posted this picture, I read this reply from R. Croswell, and am now thinking that the answer to the question in the picture is pivoting between B (end of Collett?) and Arbor C when immobilizing the anchor ?

    Howard Miller Grandfather Chime Lever Gets Hung

    Lately, when I turn the chimes back on to Westminter from off, seems like no matter what time the minute hand shows, the strike hammer rods get hung up & i must remove a side window & poke around the levers until they free up. Is there some minute hand position other than just not near any of...

    value The Hairspring Things

    I am looking to replace the broken hairsprings for the strike levers on my Gilbert 1910 mechanism. Might anyone know where dor sure I can find them online? I know that I may have to buy the entire levers to get the hairsprings.....

    All Hour Strikes Perfect Except At 12

    Yes, I've done that a few times now, I have gotten clocks that went silent striking again, like the Linden clock case in this videoclip with a tikround brand quartz bim bam movement from Amazon. It is given to my Great Grandson who designed the replacement dial for it. It does westminster & ave...

    All Hour Strikes Perfect Except At 12

    I've tried that but neither mechanism would work. Like a moron, I failed to take detailed pictures of how the parts were positioned relative to each other before disassembly.

    All Hour Strikes Perfect Except At 12

    My 2nd used Linden 7012 mantel clock came but it doesn't strike either. The seller gave me a refund and let me keep the clock. Both the clock and the strike motors work. The clock keeps time but the strike mechanism is not aligned properly. It will steime for a short or long time depending on...

    Linden Quartz Chime Movement #7012 Clock

    w The actual recorded sound chimes can sound so realistic, whether it be bim bam or westminster. But in the clock i showed in this thread, i only wanted 1 single ding, rather than bim bam, so i would know what hour it was at night in bed without my glasses. So i removed one of the strike rods &...

    Linden Quartz Chime Movement #7012 Clock

    Willie X, i was forced to give up trying to replace or repair my Linden 7012 bim bam mechanism. I have now ordered two used mechanisms and the first one went bad after a short time, the second one never did work, and i havent been able to fix either. I contacted the seller of the 2nd faulty...

    All Hour Strikes Perfect Except At 12

    Thanks for reply, my clock just took a turn for the worser, I buggered something up, now won't stop striking & clock itself wont tell time. I bought a previous Linden 7012 at a flea market a year ago and it was the same thing with the strike mechanism, either struck erratic or for very long...

    All Hour Strikes Perfect Except At 12

    I have now seen a few threads by others with simiiar problems. But the answers to their questions were all in clockspeak which i have almost no understanding of at this point. So i just removed and refit the mechanism clock & strike modules after repositioning the hour gear, hoping to hit on the...

    All Hour Strikes Perfect Except At 12

    I have installed a Linden 7012 mantel clock mechanism in a small cabinet clock housing. I removed one of the strike rods to have a single tone rather than the double bim bam tones. I am thinking that it would be safer to bend the steel strike rod than the strike hammer lever to adjust the gap...

    Adjusting chime timing; no minute hand bushing

    What is a minute cannon and how do I move it? I am not very familiar with the clock mechanism nomenclature.

    Function Can Minute Hand Be Adjusted To Synch With Chime?

    My Seth Thomas #89 movement which of course uses the square shaft for the minute hand, is about 2 minutes off top dead center to synch for chime operation. Can this be adjusted?

    Clumsy Clock Cleaning?

    I'm also wondering what would be the result of spraying silicone lube into the moving parts of a brass clock mechanism, which dries and leaves a silicone film. I'm guessing that this would not adequately displace dirty oil and neither would it be a sufficient lubricant?

    Clumsy Clock Cleaning?

    A few weeks ago I got to thinking that because I had read about only applying a very tiny amount of oil to my clock bushings, maybe I under reacted and didn't use enough, and that was why my clock wouldn't stay running. The replies I had received when I posted about my failed clock cleaning & re...

    Di D you mean that the propellant is now found to be an environment hazard?

    Clumsy Clock Cleaning?

    The pendulum rod had been threaded through the crutch foot before I removed the mechanism from the clock wooden case. And I appreciate this reply & all other replies from all those who have replied to me.
