DID YOU KNOW THAT CLOCKS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE FULLY SERVICED EVERY 3-5 YEARS?

FULLY ULTRASONICALLY SERVICED, NOT SPOT OR HAND CLEANED BUT ULTRASONICALLY.

THIS IS THE FINEST SERVICING A CLOCK CAN RECEIVE!

There is quite a bit to this process.

A Clock contains a Mechanical Movement, this movement is like your car engine….   You bring your car in and have it serviced/oil changed every 3 months or 3,000 miles…  or you are suppose to!   Clock movements have metal on metal just like your cars engine.   It is not based on usage but instead the actual time frame.  If you bring a clock home fully ultrasonically serviced today and place it in the closet for five years, when you take it out, it would need to be serviced again before you actually start running it….   It is based on the five years, not the running or not running of it.   Continuing to run a clock, EVEN IF IT IS RUNNING GREAT, beyond this five year period CAN AND WILL CAUSE UNNECESSARY WEAR IN THE MOVEMENT..   Trust me, you don’t want to have to pay the high cost of bushings to get rid of the wear in your treasured family heirloom…   and abuse your clock that way….   DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOUR CLOCK STOPS RUNNING ON ITS OWN BEFORE YOUR HAVE IT SERVICED, that then becomes REPAIR WORK, NOT MAINTENANCE WORK!

Make Your Appointment Today for YOUR GRANDFATHER CLOCK TO BE FULLY ULTRASONICALLY SERVICED IN YOUR HOME or bring your mantel/wall clock in today!

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A SONORA CHIME?  Sonora was its own company back in the late 1800’s, they developed the plans for a clock and SETH THOMAS purchased the plans and made the clock from about 1901 to 1923.  It has 2 complete movements inside of 1 case.   The movement closest to the dial inside runs the Time & Strike, the 2nd movement further back in the case runs the WESTMINSTER chimes.  The Westminster chime winding area is to the right of the number 3.   The key has to reach back past the 1st movement and wind the 2nd movement, thus the winding arbor cannot be over the 6 like normal but instead over by the 3 on the dial.   They are known to be the most MAJESTIC SOUNDING MANTEL CLOCKS as the sound is played on bells and not on rods.  They tend to have silencer levers, some have the famous SETH THOMAS PATENTED ADAMANTINE FINISH which is a coating over wood and was used on the models dating about 1901-1920 or so.   These clocks are the FASTEST APPRECIATING CLOCKS ON THE MARKET TODAY!

They came in 4 bell, 5 bell and 8 bell.  The 8 bell is a dual chime piece and is very difficult to come by and when you do find one, be prepared to pay DEARLY!!!

If You Are A Clock Collector, You Must Have A SETH THOMAS SONORA CHIME, If you don’t have one, we can be put on Lay-A-Way which is how most people obtain their very first SONORA CHIME….   Of course, they are like potato chips and pistachio's, you can’t just stop at 1 !!!   I have collectors who have me call them whenever I get my hands on a different model.   They are hard to come by!  

THE SOUND IS THE BEST on the bells instead of the rods.   These clocks can be found with the 2 movements but on rods, instead of bells, and they are  a lot less expensive to purchase but the appreciation level $$$$ wise is nothing compared to the bell style.
