1920s Sessions Clock




This is one of the latest clocks I have serviced. It is running well now, but it needed a complete cleaning/polishing as well as 2 bushings replaced for the pivots of the escape wheel. I also had to fabricate a new, longer pendulum. The existing one was a bit too short, causing the clock to run a bit too fast. The new one is just right and allows plenty of room for future minor adjustments. I'm doing the final adjustments and it should be ready to go back home in a day or two. These are fun clocks to work on. They have two open springs. One for the time and one for the chime.
