Couldn't find any hinges with long enough leaf's on them to work with so ended up mending these. All in all they turned out good and they fit like a glove.
Yep, new gears made a big difference, just letting it run out to see if the mainsprings for the chimes strike for the full 30 days. Mainsprings had some hard crud caked on them that I had to manually remove, could have been the cause of them stopping early. So far its running good.
@@jamesmartin5370 Yup it would only chime for about the first four days. The time movement would run for the full 8 days. I'm in no hurry for it, so take as long as you as you need for the test period.
I have a gustav becker that has the brass square face like this. With the pin holding in the hands. On the chimes it says dom gong. What year do you think its from? It still works just fine.
Tough to know exact year, Dom Gong was a trademark of Gustav Becker registered in about 1904, I don't know how long this trademark was used so sometime after about 1904.
