Thanks, I know where they go, what I don't know is the timing, the cog to the right of the centre , the one on the clock, has a pin on the back of it, does the pin go above or below the shaft at the back of the cog
When I lift the lever at the top it activates the strike. The cog to the right of centre has a pin on the back, should that pin be above or below the lever under it
I pulled that part off, was about to saw it and thought I wonder if it will bend, I was surprised that the brass bent easily, matched it to the same as the one in the photo and it works fine
Here is a photo on the internet, and one of mine, you will see the internet one is facing at the shaft, and mine is below the shaft, therefore the strike cannot stop until the minute hand has gone around about 10 minutes extra
That is all fine, that lever near the main shaft is down too low and the minute hand has to take too long to release it, if that lever was higher it would work ok.
I just saw some photos of the front of some French mechanism and the arm on them was level with the minute hand shaft, mine is hanging below it.So it might have been soldered and not lined up properly. Can you tell me the name of this lever and where I can buy one please.
I turned the minute hand too quick, the strike runs ok. The shaft that the minute hand lifts up ok, but the minute hand has to move around too far to let it drop and stop the strike, it seems that that shaft that lifts is too low but there doesn't seem any way to lift it up
When the minute hand pushes the shaft up it takes too
When the minute hand pushes the shaft up and releases the strike, the minute hand has to travel too far around to drop the shaft
That lever that is closest to the minute cog seems to be too high, after the pin on the back of the minute cog lifts the shaft up it can't fall down until the minute cog has moved for about 10 minutes then it has passed the pin and the lever can fall down and stop the strike
it seems to be on the hour, also the are near the minute and hour shaft seems to be too low, it takes too long for the minute wheel to go around to release the shaft so it will stop
