    9 min. repeat on alarm clock snooze

    Thanks for your comments. The local TV station ran their human interest (snooze button) story Fri. night. As soon as they post the video I'll provide a link for those who want to watch. I appreciate all of your contributions to the group. Blake

    9 min. repeat on alarm clock snooze

    Can anyone tell us why an alarm clock snooze repeats every 9 min. (perhaps 7 min.) rather than 10 min? Our local news station has asked us this question. I had never even considered it, but thought that it may have a basis in the earliest design of repeating alarms. Thanks for your help Blake

    Welch pendulum leader?

    Thank you all for your input. The existing suspension spring was broken. We opted for a more familiar repair; A new suspension spring/leader with a hook just below the crutch, and a loop on the top of the pendulum stick. FYI, the rating nut is on the bottom of the bob. Blake

    Welch pendulum leader?

    The attached photo shows a pendulum/leader assembly which I believe has been modified and is incorrect. The Movement is a Welch 2 spring time only club foot escapement. Notice that there is no way to hook the pendulum, except at the suspension post. The leader/susp. sp. are permanently connected...

    Stainless Steel Corum

    Thanks for the help. I saw "European" and failed to recognize "Pocket watch". I agree that "wrist watches" is a better place to post. Blake

    Stainless Steel Corum

    Here is a picture of a Corum watch that I would like to know more about. I have searched the internet to little avail. Even the Corum website http://www.corum.ch/dev_0206/index.html offers little. The following is what I do know: It is automatic, has a stainless steel case and gold dial...

    Seth Thomas / Sangamo motor repair

    Success! Magnetism... The "U" shaped rotor did not have sufficient magnetic strength so I re-magnetized it by wrapping it about 30 times with .017 " copper wire (the enamle coated kind used to make coils and magnets) and briefly connecting it to a 12vdc car battery. This operation...

    Seth Thomas / Sangamo motor repair

    Thank you for your help and time. I have not solved the sangamo problem yet. Your information is helpfull, by comparison. Can you tell me the ohms measured across your motor coil? I have also begun to wonder if the motor bushing was designed to be loose, and that my repair, to tighten it, is...

    Seth Thomas / Sangamo motor repair

    I have a Sangamo electric synchronous motor that I am rebuilding It has the 15 pole starter with "U" shaped magnetic rotor and bumper pad attached to the copper/tin cup rotor with pinion gear. It was working poorly before I resolved a bad bushing problem. Now it runs worse. The rotor spins...
