Hey folks,

I'm moving away soon and trying to scale down a bit,

I picked up these two clocks in charity shops and they have been on the long term backburners.

The Junghans appears to just need a service and the balance swings intermittently, the Looping is a Cal.51 and appears to run fine, but the alarm needs some attention.

I will post these free to whoever would like them, preferably in Ireland or the UK (so I save a but on postage)

P.S. I ran this by OH to see if this was OK to post here

A very generous offer, I have too many on the back burner would be good if someone who's wanting to try moving into clocks got these, the looping is a very good quality alarm clock fully jewelled movement.

I'm more than happy to offer these a good home and would be very useful to me as I continue to accumulate movements to gain experience. If that would be acceptable I may be able to offer a pass on gift to a member myself.

 

Opps where are my manners,....please :)

I’ve visited the looping and it’s running fine, it needs a new glass which I will source. The outer rim is tarnished and will not polish out so would need replating. The face has some tiny pitting spots which will not polish out but with a new glass will hardly show. 

Its a lovely little piece and one that will stay in my collection :)

The dial on the looping cleaned up very well, fair play!

It looks like solid brass? If so, you can just take the old laquer off with paint remover, then polish it and redo the clock with laquer you buy in spray cans, wipe it over with mineral turps first to take off any resadue. Don't leave it raw brass as it will tarnish quick and you will get fingerprints all over it.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to do the rim?

      1972 Bulova President "E" Sea King 11ACACB movement

      Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!

      Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor.

      I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂

      Not sure, but just looking at it, it seems like the screw on the right may be a fake? The one on the left may not be a screw in the regular sense at all, rather a 2 position device, I think you need to point the slot towards either of the 2 dots and one will secure and one will open. Like I said this is just my best guess looking at the pictures.
