Its out of beat. It will run for longer when in beat.

Welcome MM, enjoy the forum.

Welcome Stephan, Enjoy the forum.

Nope the Devon shop is the only place. I have a non functioning L&R variety-matic in my garage. Annoyingly I know the fault which is it needs bleeding but have not found a way to do it as yet. The guy who re-furbished the L&R's no longer does repairs because there is no profit in repairs.

We have two, in fact we have always had cats that always live to a ripe old ages. Very often I have one sitting on my lap when dis- assembling and the other under the workbench in the winter where there is a radiator. However they are not allowed when assembling them bl**dy hairs get everywhere.

It sounds good too -- click

Use ranfft as a reference then measure for a cross reference.

Yes a great improvement if you get it in beat then I suspect that odd blip will go as well. A 3.4ms is way to much error. The recommended error rate is no more than 0.4ms.

Thanks oldhippy another piece of this never ending learning curve logged into my tiny brain .

Here is the Vid. PS Sorry to rest of forum this must seem boring. Sequence wheel adjustment.mov

Ok I removed the bottom wheel & moved the sequence wheel several times and now the Westminster chime sounds perfect. I will do another vid. PS Thanks

Thanks will investigate. I presume I have to adjust the wheel/s that turns to move the hammers. This is a new one one for me

Ok after some fiddling with the hammers I think I have made it better but not sure if the final Westminster chime sequence is correct. I found the hammers 4 & 5 were lower than 3,2 & 1 and so hammer 4 was giving a bum note. See vids before & after. before adjustment.mov After.mov

Welcome Kevin, Enjoy the forum.

Another thought just wondering if one of the hammers is just out of tune
