A good friend in the St. Louis area was helping me with taking a main spring barrel apart for service. I'm still learning and wanted to get some close up views of how that is done. It really helped.
Then, as I was leaving, he offered me this Kern clock. What? Really? He said someone gave it to him; he is a great repair man and has done hundreds of these clocks but thought I might enjoy working on it. Heck ya!! Very nice!
Anyway, I'm not near my repair guide. It says Kern on the dial and there is a K-S logo with Germany written on the back. I don't see any serial numbers although there's a scratched-in number on the back of the dial, just visible above the top of the front plate. There's no guide cup. I also noticed that the click spring is on the back side of the front plate, slightly hidden by the barrel. That sure makes it difficult to deal with when letting down the power.
Can anyone give me some background on this clock, the likely age of it?
Thanks...Kurt (not sure why the pictures uploaded differently)
