    Welch Verdi - Pendulum assembly

    I see what you are talking about. Someone at some time took a thin threaded rod (it looks identical to the one used to adjust the pendulum bob) flatened one end and then riveted the spring onto that end. This threaded rod appears to be a slightly larger diameter than the spring leaders in my...

    Welch Verdi - Pendulum assembly

    Thanks for the response, I will take a closer look at the pendulum and see how the mangled spring is attached and look for a replacement. Gary

    Welch Verdi - Pendulum assembly

    That is a very nice looking clock. Unable to tell what the top end of the pendulum looks like though. The clock I am working on just doesn't look correct as it appears as if someone stuck a kitchen clock leader into the top of the pendulum. I am thinking the set up should look more like a...

    Welch Verdi - Pendulum assembly

    I am in the process of restoring a Welch Verdi time only wall clock. The original pendulum has been repaired or replaced and I am not sure what the correct pendulum stick and hardware assemble should look like- any help would be appreciated.

    Is this eye candy or am I missing something.

    I have a similiar clock that I purchased at a resale shop. My clock is complete except missing the pendulum bob. I think what I need will have a hook on the end but I don't know any dimensions (length) or weight. I am looking for a source for a pendulum too if anyone has a suggestion. Any...

    Kundo Electronic suspension spring replacement

    Well I finally found some time ( no pun intended) to try this procedure and I am stuck. Complication One The original suspension spring I was going to replace has pins through both the top and the bottom brass plates of the spring. I can not get enough clearance at either the top or bottom to...

    Kundo Electronic suspension spring replacement

    I know enough about clocks to know I need help on this one. About a month ago I posted a request for assistance to help my Kundo electronic (ATO style) clock keep better time. Since the pendulum wobbled it was suggested that I replace the suspension spring. I now have the part and I need a...

    Kundo Electronic: Not keping time

    I am still losing about 4 minutes every 12 hours- it seems the weight just doesn't make that much difference- I have ordered a new suspension spring so maybe that will make a noticeable difference

    Kundo Electronic: Not keping time

    Good evening: Long story short - I have some great pictures on my camera but a miscommunication with my wife about the card reader makes it impossible to post. I will try again tomorrow. I have adjusted the feet to get an equal amplitude and I have also lowered the weight. The clock lost...

    Kundo Electronic: Not keping time

    No Digital camera at home - I will post Monday (Hopefully) Yes the clock is the type with the banana pendulum going through a magnetized coil. The only adjustment that I see involve rotating a weight on a threaded shaft between the suspension spring and the banana portion. I was also watching...

    Kundo Electronic: Not keping time

    I spent a few minutes looking at the Timesavers catalog- I think I am in over my head on which one to order - any help would be appreciated. Gary

    Kundo Electronic: Not keping time

    I own a Kundo electronic (brass base glass dome model) that I have had for several years. Sometime about 9 months ago it started to lose about a minute or two a day. I have replaced the battery (using the 2 AA batter adapter). I have had the movement cleaned (within the last 6 months) and of...

    Help identify this Seth Thomas plus I need another ornament

    Thanks for the information. I was wondering if anyone who had one of the clocks could make an impression of the ornaments I am missing. That way I could cast one. Gary

    Twisted weight pulley

    Thanks for the suggestions. My typing and proof reading skills are below average and am impressed that you could understand my situation. I will measure the cable and compare it with what is in another #2 or search this board for the correct dimension. I was also thinking of placing something...

    Twisted weight pulley

    Hi: I've been watching an 8 day weight driven movement for the last couple of weeks. I believe it is a repo Seth Thomas #2 style movement. The movement runs fine except when I wind it up. The cable wraps around the shaft and moves toward the back plate when fully wound as expected. Shortly...
