I need some advice about about a ST cottage clock with a 1B-L time only movement that dates back to 1854-1856. I have been struggling with this for a while, It runs & stops , runs & stops sometimes for two days & sometimes for one hour.
After repairing the case , installing door glass , installing bushings and having the dial redone. I need to tackle the verge problem.
I replaced the verge which didnt help!
So I took a good look at the movement & noticed the escape wheel had itś gear teeth pointing to the right , while all my other movements have teeth pointing to the left. Then after much searching I decided it has a a ¨Half deadbeat escapement¨ Am I correct in my assumption?
If so what, where, when and how do I proceed?
Iḿ posting a photo.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks TimFitz
