    ibm/itr pendulum.... mercury?

    Bruce, I never attempted to dismantle my pendulum as it appeared to be in pristine condition. So I cannot comment on disassembly. When I carefully tipped the pendulum sideways the resultant displacement of the mercury was felt distinctly. Since no leaks were evident, no need to fix something...

    You might want to consider this: Suspension Spring 12-Piece Assortment (timesavers.com) I bought this assortment a while ago and have used several of the suspension springs to repair various German clocks. The replacement spring assembly doesn't have to be an exact match to the original as...

    German beehive clock - looking for info.

    Isaac, In your earlier post you state, " The chime barrel for the HH is hollow, while the H 1/2 movement's chime barrel is solid. " FYI my H 1/2 chime barrel is hollow... also your chime hammer springs and suspension spring arrangement are significantly different from mine... Thanks again, Bill

    German beehive clock - looking for info.

    Isaac, Thanks for the info, it is appreciated! Sorry I missed your previous post, thanks for the link. Agree with you about the coiled gongs. I especially like the strike gong, it is surprisingly deep and sonorous. One annoyance, there seems to be no chime correction feature on this movement...

    Hi, I did remove the small plate held on by two screws. Underneath there are no markings - just blank plate. Bill

    Recently finished overhauling this German Westminster chime clock. The movement has no manufacturer's markings I am aware of. I would appreciate any comments re. who manufactured this clock, and when. Thanks! Bill

    American Who sez I don't appreciate modern clocks??

    Replacement hands for Vienna regulator

    Recently I acquired a nice Vienna clock in decent shape except for the hands. The minute hand's tail was broken off, and the hour hand was ratty-looking. Timesavers offers VR hands that work OK, but only in one style. Other than finding original hands in decent condition I was not aware of any...

    Recommendations on cleaning wooden clock cases

    I really like this stuff: https://tinyurl.com/rgf8fjq Have used it on several clocks, it contains no harsh chemicals and is very gentle. Same manufacturer's "Protective Wood Feeder" is also a great product for follow-up afterwards . Bill

    quarter hour chime sequence ?

    JTD, It's possible the quarter strike is malfunctioning. I had a very similar problem with a GS movement (inconsistent quarter hour striking). They can be temperamental. Tim S, can we see a photo of the dial side of the movement in your clock? Bill
