I have a clock with an Urgos movement. The model number on the lower right back of the plate is UW06144A and the number to the left of that in the center is A0F2. The clock is a double dial Ramcraft named The Tennessean. The movement has a calendar function with 5 hammers that strike on the 1/4hr and Westminster chime. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

By The Way it would be nice if you could use the introduction heading so we have a little more background and some pictures of the said clock as our Crystal Ball is out of action      cheers

I hope theses pictures will do. Obviously the movement is still in the case. I don’t have the know how to remove the movement for better pictures. It’s a long story, but I have another clock like this that someone unfortunately converted to a quartz movement. I’m trying to find a movement so that I can put it back to original. Any guidance is much appreciated. Thanks

A fairly modern Westminster chime with a platform escapement. If you are thinking of giving it a clean you will need a clock mainspring winder to remove each of the three springs. Doesn't look as if there is any oil in the oil sinks which can and will cause wear, so re-bushing might be needed. These modern movements are not made of good hard brass but of soft brass and the same with the steel. If you are going to strip the movement down and repair it then put it all back I can help you with that. You are going to need some tools which I can advise on what you will need.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      interesting video nice to see the machine what it can do now I wonder what it costs and I'm sure it's not in my budget. Plus the video brought up questions but the website below answers the questions? What was bothering me was the size of his machine 4 mm because I thought it was bigger than that? But then it occurred to me that maybe they had variations it looks like four, seven and 10. With the seven and 10 being the best because way more tool positions in way more rotating tools. Although I bet you all the rotating tools are probably separate cost https://www.tornos.com/en/content/swissnano   Then as we been talking about Sherline. Just so that everyone's aware of this they have another division their industrial division where you can buy bits and pieces. I have a link below that shows that just in case you don't want to have the entire machine you just need bits and pieces. https://www.sherline.com/product-category/industrial-products-division/   Let's see what we can do with the concept I explained up above and bits and pieces. For one thing you can make a really tiny gear very tiny like perhaps you're going to make a watch. Then another version the center part is not separate it is all machined from one piece. Then fills gear cutting machines have gone through multiple of evolutions. A lot of it based on what he wanted to make like he was going to make a watch unfortunately eyesight issues have prevented that. Another reason why you should start projects like this much sooner when your eyesight is really good or perhaps start on watches first and then move the clocks then local we have from the industrial division? Looks like two separate motors and heads. Then it's hard to see but this entire thing is built on top of a much larger milling machine as a larger milling machine gave a very solid platform to build everything.   Then like everything else that had multiple generations are versions the indexing went through of course variations like above is one version and the one below was the last version. Now the version below I mentioned that previously and somewhere in the beginning to discussion and somebody else had one in their picture. As it is a really nice precision indexing. Then I wasn't sure if I had a the watch photos here is his unfinished watch. No he wasn't going to make a simple watch like none of his clocks were simply either what would be the challenge and that.

      Lab Coats

      Use a Portwest Howie lab coat. They are the biological type so they have tapped cuffs so you don't end up getting the loose cuffs of normal lab coats catching everything.

      Chinese tools debate

      By Titanium · Posted

      Some of the Chinese tools ae great and can be purchased at a fraction of the price of Swiss ones, some are complete garbage and some I'm convinced are coming out the same factory as the branded ones.

      I found this string about this problem. I've not gone through it all, but I believe it also mentions making a spring. If not in this string, the info is online.
