Although I've solved the problem I had with this movement, for my own satisfaction (read: OCD) I'd like to know whether it has been butchered as some point.
This Baduf clock came to me with no history, and with no report as to what might or might not need fixing. Just a statement saying "it had not been run for some time".
During my initial triage, I discovered that the chime auto-correction was not operating; in that it did not hold the chime train in warning after the three-quarters chime. On inspection I could see that a previous repairer had added a brass ferrule with a grub screw to the end of the lifting lever, to create more lift. Here it is, after the three-quarters chime:
The extra lift that this created was the problem; the lever was being lifted too high so that the train was always released, every quarter. I was able to solve the problem by (a) removing that ferrule and (b) applying a slight twist to the lifting lever on the right in the above picture.
This movement is nearly identical to Enfield movements, because Enfield acquired the rights to use the Baduf design. So here's my question: has the auto-correction hold lever on the left been modified? Enfields don't have this kind of cut-out, as best I can remember:
Did someone create that cut-out because the lever was being lifted too high? Or is it original?
