Good afternoon. I recently purchased a 1940 Kuempel 3 tube tall case, time and strike (bim bam). After a quick clean and lube, I assembled it as it was taken apart for transport. It did not come with the weights so I have been trying different weights to see what seems best. For a 2 train movement, it appears large so I started with a 7 lb 15 oz weight on the time side and a 8 lb 3 oz weight on the strike side. It ran great, but ticked loudly and made loud clacky noises when striking so I reduced the weight to some jauch 100 m weights time being 5 lb 14 oz and strike being 6 lb 1 oz. It still runs great and is quieter, however, the strike is slower. Would anyone happen to be familiar with Kuempel and know what weights I should be using? Thanks, Brendan
