⏰ Enhance Your Timepiece with the Original Youngtown 12888 Chime Pendulum Clock Movement - 2 Sets of Hands Included! Review

I used this to repair an Ethan Allen wall clock that some had the mechanism removed from. It worked great. As others have said, the instructions are poor and it's difficult to set the horn correctly, but doable once you understand how it works: once an hour the clock mechanism shorts out the wires leading to the horn to let it know it is exactly one o'clock. . And second, when you put the batteries in, the bell thinks it's 6am. By the way, you need 3 AA batteries, one for the clock and two for…

Replaced the existing chimeless mechanism in our Schoolhouse Regulator wall clock with this unit. Keeps the perfect time. Very happy with the automatic night mode. There were some problems with the pendulum being much further forward in this arrangement as the pendulum scratched the glass and the mechanism was placed as far back as possible. Glass removed and problem solved. (remove glass anyway to get more ringtone) Still wish it was a little louder. You may want to try a slightly larger…

It was a bit difficult to install, mainly my fault. Please read the instructions very carefully first. I broke a few hands trying to install without understanding what I was doing. Although the manufacturer could write in more detail in the instructions. It took this stupid monkey a long time to figure it out. Dial, brass, manual controls. was too long and hit the glass, the wood spacer had to be cut out to fit properly. It was difficult to get him to call on time, at the moment he calls at 25…

Really very good sound for the $. Sounds like a sampled call, not digital synthesis. It also has 4 different alternative ringtone settings. Like most others, I had a hard time setting the call time. After reading the instructions several times, I realized that I had misinterpreted "set the hands to the correct time". I recommend the following: 1) Install the prime mover WITHOUT the hands 2) Turn the dial counter-clockwise until you hear/feel a click (it's 6am) 3) Now set the hands to 6 o'clock…

Installing this mechanism was the first time for me. The watch is not antique or valuable but was an anniversary gift from my husband over 40 years ago so it means a lot to me. Installation was easy, just follow the instructions. As others have written, the hardest part was synchronizing the bell with the movement. I followed the instructions and set the clock to 6:00 am. After that I got lost. After several tries, I decided to set the current time the way I did with the old mechanism. From the

Used to replace the insides of very old mechanical watches. The instructions weren't that clear. I got a good sound by gluing the speaker to the three protruding screws. The mechanism is thin. Don't force anything. Be careful with clock hands as they bend very easily. The pointing mechanism, hands, clock numerals and bell must be synchronized. This can be a problem, so be patient. Ideas to get everything in time: 1) Brut Force: Once everything is in sync, move your hands and wait for each tune…

Get 3 (not 4) calling options along the way. While there are 4 options on the Switch, 2 of them call Westminister, an hour, a quarter of an hour. You also get two other options: Hail Mary and Bim Bam Chimes (both on one only). And that brings us to the reason I took off a star for the installation. The cables for connecting the doorbell are not pre-connected to the mechanism. This was the only major traffic problem. For the price, we made one of the best, if not the best, choices for our…
