Ok, folks, this is my 1st post and I need some help.  I was given an old mantle clock (an Ingraham according to the winding key) that didn't work.  I now have the clock ticking with its pendulum.  However, when I turn the hands to make the chine hammer strike, it only does it once no matter the time.  Even when I lift the bar (blue arrow in picture) it only moves one "notch" (see red arrow).  I expected it to go from one shallow notch to the next until it got to a deep notch.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rocky

I’m going to use the same terms as show in the video so as not to confuse you.

The worn stop lever (blue) needs to sit into the cam wheel slot, the green lever should lift from the counting wheel (make sure the green lever is free to lift out of the counting wheel. Make sure when the blue lever starts to rise so the green lever should also rise. When the count wheel moves from tooth to tooth the blue lever must be high enough to keep turning, only when the green lever falls in to the longer slots of the count wheel should the blue lever drop into the slot of the cam wheel. On the warning, the yellow worn pin should be at about 45 to 50 on a dial face. It should be at that position before the warning starts, make sure the hammer does not start to lift at that moment. This other photo,  I have marked in red this wheel has a pin that that engages in the teeth of the count wheel which moves the count wheel forward.      

I hope I have not confused you. Keep me up to date. I am here to help. The strike on American clocks is not easy to understand, with it having so many levers.

      This is not rare at all, the dial code and case code don't usually match.

      Interesting issue that I just noticed: this Seiko 5actus Watch from 1977 has a calibre listing on the dial of 7019-8030R but on the case back it says 7019-8010!! Like a mis-printed coin, is this watch therefore worth a lot of money for its rarity?? 🤪😲🤔🤪

      I wish that was the case. The Aegler movements used in the early days by Wilsdorf & Davis (for brands like Rolex and Rolco) came in several sizes and without designated calibre numbers that survive.  They become a bit easier to identify during the 1920s. Below is an Aegler-Rebberg, 25.74mm in diameter. It’s from a woman’s Rolex wristwatch. Stamped Rebberg and 500 on the dial plate (but it isn’t a Rebberg 500, it’s the wrong size).  I’d be interested if anyone can identify the movement.  It is based off the Aegler Nr.1, circa 1903, but they based many many calibres of different sizes on it. The closest I have to a positive ID is the  ‘Rolex Nr.50’ circa 1917, but no dial side images or movement sizes are available in the references. There are identical looking movements in many sizes.  The 25.74mm of this movement is a particularly strange size for the era, it equates to 11.41 lignes.      Best Regards, Mark

      FHF70 balance jewels settings

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      It looks like this movement comes with a number of different shock settings. Emmywatch shows that it comes in versions with no shock settings, 'Incabloc', 'shock resist', and 'Supershock'. Perhaps the different settings position the impulse jewel/roller table in a non-ideal position relative to the pallet fork/guard pin. Are you able to check under high magnification if the pallet fork and roller table are able to operate without any interference? Just for fun I took a look and I have one FHF 70 in my collection, a West End Secundus with a non-shock protected FHF70. I had a note with the watch that said, "Movement is stamped 'FHF 70', but the FHF70 looks to have sub-seconds instead of center seconds movement (??)" but that a google search turned up both types for this movement. EDIT: I just took a look in my parts drawer and I have a few of these movements, both in center seconds and sweep seconds, but they all are non-shock protected.
