Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. Many members on here like to help out. Good clear photos help a lot.

That sounds about right. What you are describing at first is how the warning starts, than its held up until the lever drops then the chime comes into play.

The second photo has a German wall clock, which is a German striking movement, which operates from springs, mistakenly called a Vienna, which it is not. Vienna regulator clocks are weight driven. A timepiece will have a single weight, strike two weights strike, chime three weights.

You are growing in confidence in making new staffs. Nice photos so members can see what you do.

As far as I remember. The fixed cam wheel on the inside locked, should be the same with the one on the outside. You have to get the right depth otherwise; the chime might trip and keep going.

Need some advice on cleaning solutions
oldhippy replied to saswatch88's question in Watch Repairs Help & Advice
I always used L & R cleaner and rinse. My cleaning machine was next to my extractor fan, so caused no problems. I think all cleaners and rinse give off some sort of smell. The members on here that are repairing and cleaning movements today will be able to help you more then me. With me I'm talking what it was like back in the 70's & 80's. -

Thank you Barnaby for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. Many years ago there used to be a very good watch and clock martial suppliers in Bristol called Mahoney associates Bristol. I think it was Stapleton Road. It was back in the 70's and 80's bloody good too. It was a family Business.
