Hi , spent a 2 weeks or so working on a Gilbert crystal regulator. A total non runner . Dismantled cleaned .
The clock now runs . The half hour ding works. Now comes the crunch. It will bongs on the hour only once . & at 12 will bong for ever .
As it was a mess when I got it . I made marks on all the chime rods of positions to return them back to the original positions .
The counter arm counts up but doesn't reset @ 12 ..
I check that the 2 levers sit on the wheel stop & start . But I can't figure for the life of me why the flip arm doesn't trigger the stop.
I think it maybe the thin tension spring wound on the shafts are eather wrong or out of position.
Or I have missed something else.
I have taken photos but I don't think it will help as the pins and levers are to far in to show.
I was hoping that someone has braved one of these clocks . I think it just needs a small adjustment but can't put my finger on it .
I did look to see if someone had done a video on a repair. But only on the Arizona model . .
So any suggestions are welcome .
The clock part runs . Worse case scenario I can live without the noise. But I would like to be able to have it fully restored to its full glory. I have totally restored the case .
Thanks
