Just purchased my first Sonora, a large mahogany tambour with a silvered dial. It is similar to the Chime No. 59 but without the trim ledge on the sides. The Sonora movement chimes properly, but the hour chime won't chime. If released manually, it chimes but often doesn't want to stop. If I prop the left side up 1/2 inch, it runs wonderfully. Looking inside, its clear the 89 movement is installed with a definite list to one side.
I've removed many movements, but I've never taken a Sonora movement out of the case before. Is there anything I need to aware of before taking the two movements out?
Ant guidance at all would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jim
