THE WHITTINGTON AND THE WESTMINSTER CHIMES ARE RICH AND RESONANT – OTHER NON-SETH BELL CHIME ANTIQUE CLOCKS SIMPLY CANNOT COMPARE WITH THE GLORIOUS SOUND FROM THIS CHIME 2001 SONORA. THE NEW OWNER WILL DEFINITELY WANT TO PLACE THE SETH 2001 IN A VERY SPECIAL LOCATION IN THE HOME.

THIS EIGHT BELL SONORA CHIME CLOCK NUMBER 2001 IN NEAR-PERFECT CONDITION IS A MOST SOUGHT AFTER SETH THOMAS SONORA BY COLLECTORS AND SONORA ENTHUSIASTS. FINDING ONE THAT IS, OR CAN BE, COMPLETELY RESTORED IS PLAIN DIFFICULT BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE AVAILABLE. A NOTE ON DEEP TONED BELLS: SETH THOMAS SONORAS WERE OUTFITTED WITH THREE SIZES OF SONORA BELLS: SMALL BELLS, MEDIUM 2 7/8 INCH DIAMETER RESONATED BELLS, AND LARGE 3 1/4 INCH DIAMETER DEEP TONED BELLS. EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: THE SONORA 55 AND 255 ARE EQUIPPED WITH SMALL BELLS; THE SONORA 61, 261, 64 AND 264 WERE OUTFITTED WITH MEDIUM 2 7/8 INCH RESONATED BELLS; THE SONORA 2001, AND SEVERAL OTHER OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE SONORAS, WERE FITTED WITH THE LARGE 3 1/4 INCH DEEP TONED BELLS. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN THE PURE LISTENING PRESENCE GIVEN BY THE SONORA 2001 WITH THE DEEP TONED NEST OF BELLS. BY ALL MEANS TAKE A LISTEN AND HEAR FOR YOURSELF. MY SEARCH FOR A SONORA 2001 TO RESTORE EACH YEAR IS DIFFICULT.THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE RESTORED IN THE LAST 3 YEARS AS THE MARKET HAS NOT BEEN FORTHCOMINGWITH ANY ADDITIONAL 2001 SONORASBECAUSE THEY ARE NOT RELEASED FROM PRIVATE COLLECTIONS. EVERY ASPECT OF THE SONORA 2001 HAS BEEN RESTORED TO ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONS, INCLUDING THE NEST OF EIGHT DEEP TONED SONORA BELLS. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE ONE OF SETH THOMAS’ FINEST SONORA BELL ANTIQUE CLOCKS – AND YOU CAN BE ASSURED OF THE QUALITY, BECAUSE MY PERSONAL OBJECTIVE, AS ALWAYS, IS TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS! ANYONE WHO DESIRES SHOULD FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS DETAILS OF THE SONORA 2001AS WELL AS DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE VARIOUS SONORAS IN GENERAL. PLEASE STUDY THE SUPERSIZE HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOS TO REVIEW ALL ASPECTS OF THE SONORA CHIME 2001. THE WINDING HOLE NEAR THE “8” IS FOR THE HOUR COUNT CHIME; THE ONE NEAR THE “4” IS FOR THE TIME TRAIN. BOTH THE HOUR COUNT AND TIME TRAIN ARE HANDLED BY THE NO. 89X MOVEMENT. ANOTHER HOLE AT THE “3” IS FOR WINDING THE QUARTER-HOUR WESTMINSTER AND WHITTINGTON CHIMES, HANDLED BY THE NO. 104E MOVEMENT. A SMALLER HOLE BELOW THE HAND SHAFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DIAL IS FOR ACCESSING THE SLOW-FAST TIME ADJUSTMENT. A SLIDE LEVER ON THE SIDE OF THE CASE IS FOR CHIME-SILENT OPERATION. WHEN OPERATED, THE QUARTER HOUR CHIMES WILL BE SILENCED. THE TOP LEFT SUBSIDIARY DIAL WILL SILENCE THE HOUR STRIKE IF DESIRED. THE TOP RIGHT SUBSIDIARY PROVIDES FOR SELECTION BETWEEN WHITTINGTON AND WESTMINSTER CHIMES. THE DIAL IS LARGE AND CAN BE VIEWED WITH EASE IN A LARGE ROOM OR VENUE. THE 89X MOVEMENT HANDLES THE TIME AND HOUR STRIKE FUNCTIONS AND THE 104E MOVEMENT HANDLES THE QUARTER HOUR FUNCTIONS. EACH QUARTER HOUR SEQUENCE IS SOUNDED ON THE DEEP TONED BELLS WITH RICH HARMONICS, TIMBRE AND LINGERING DECAY WHEN STRUCK. THE WHITTINGTON MELODY SEQUENCES ARE SOUNDED OUT USING ALL EIGHT SONORA BELLS, AND THE WESTMINSTER SEQUENCE IS SOUNDED VIA FOUR OF THE BELLS. PLEASE MAKE IT A POINT TO LISTEN AND CAREFULLY REVIEW THE ATTACHED SOUND FILES IN ORDER TO FULLY APPRECIATE WHAT OWNERS AT THE TURN OF THE 20TH CENTURY APPRECIATED WITH THEIR NEW AND, AT THE TIME, VERY EXPENSIVE 8 BELL DEEP TONED BELL SONORA 2001 CLOCKS. JUST LISTEN FOR AN ACCURATE RENDERING OF THE CLARITY, RESONANCE, TONE DEPTH, TEMPO AND RICH DECAY OF EACH NOTE STRUCK WHEN THE SONORA 2001 CHIMES AND STRIKES THE HOUR. THE SONORA CHIME NO. 2001 - 1914 WILL BE THE CENTER-PIECE OF A GRAND DECORATIVE SETTING, AND IT IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT, BECAUSE ITS VALUE WILL CONTINUE TO APPRECIATE YEAR AFTER YEAR. THIS IS A LARGE FULL SIZE CATHEDRAL SONORA CHIME CLOCK, SUITABLE FOR MANTLE, TABLE, OR SHELF DISPLAY - A MEMORABLE PRESENT FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL, YOUR PERSONAL USE, OR AS AN ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION. MEASUREMENTS ARE 12 ½” W X 18 ½”H X 9 ½” D. RESTORATION AND TECHNICAL DETAILS PLEASE OBSERVE THAT NEARLY HALF OF MY LISTING PORTFOLIO CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT THE MECHANICAL ASPECTS AND MOVEMENT RESTORATION OF THE CLOCK.YOU DESERVE, AND SHOULD EXPECT, A RESTORED ANTIQUE SETH OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND RELIABILITY.I STRIVE TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS RATHER THAN SIMPLY SELL YOU AN ANTIQUE CLOCK. THE NEST OF SONORA BELLS THE RESTORATION PROCESS INCLUDED COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY AND INSPECTION OF EVERY ASPECT OF THE CLOCK. THE SONORA CHIME BELLS AND CHIME BLOCK ASSEMBLY WERE CAREFULLY DISASSEMBLED, CLEANED TO RESTORE THE RESONANT TIMBRE OF THE SONORA BELLS, AND EXAMINED FOR CONDITION TO INSURE THE ABSENCE OF HAIRLINE CRACKS, ETC. SUPERSIZE PHOTO 9 SHOWS THE BELL NEST WITH SOUND CAVITIES THAT CAN BE SEEN ON THE END OF THE WOODEN NEST. ALSO PICTURED IS THE SONORA 1908 ORIGINAL PATENT THAT IS STAMPED INTO THE SIDE OF THE BELL NEST. CAREFUL INSPECTION OF THE BELLS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: · ONE HAIRLINE CRACK CAN CAUSE A SONORA BELL TO LOSE ALL TONE AND TIMBRE, AND THE BEGINNING OF A HAIRLINE WILL ALMOST ALWAYS GROW TO A FULL HAIRLINE CRACK. · IN ADDITION, OTHER ISSUES WITH CRACKED, BROKEN, OR DETERIORATED WOODEN AND PRESSED FELT BELL SPACERS, USED TO SEPARATE THE BELLS, WILL IMPACT THE SOUND, YET CANNOT BE DETECTED BY CASUAL INSPECTION. · EACH BELL WAS COMPARED WITH A STANDARD FOR PROPER PITCH AND TIMBRE. · THE ONLY WAY TO ASSURE YOURSELF OF NOT BECOMING VICTIM TO PROBLEMS IS VIA FULL AUTHENTICATION OF THE COMPONENTS, WHICH IS MY PLEDGE TO YOU, THE BUYER. MOVEMENTS - #89X AND #104E BOTH THE 89X TIME AND HOUR STRIKE MOVEMENT, AND THE 104E SONORA CHIME MOVEMENTS WERE DISASSEMBLED, CLEANED WITH ULTRASONICS, INSPECTED IN DETAIL FOR CONDITION OF THE PIVOT BUSHINGS, GEAR TRAIN, AND ARBOR OR PIVOT ABNORMALITIES. OUT OF TOLERANCE BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED. EVERY OPERATIONAL ASPECT OF EACH MOVEMENT WAS ADDRESSED. THE MOVEMENTS WERE THEN REASSEMBLED AND PROPERLY LUBRICATED; A VIEW OF THE COMPONENTS CAN BE SEEN IN PHOTO 10. THE GREAT MAINSPRING IN THE 104E WAS REMOVED FROM ITS RETAINING BARREL, FULLY UNWOUND, PROPERLY CLEANED, INSPECTED, REWOUND, AND LUBRICATED WITH MAINSPRING INDUSTRUAL GRADE LUBRICANT. REPLACEMENT OF THE 136 INCH #104 MAINSPRING IS NEITHER RECOMMENDED NOR REQUIRED, AS LONG AS THE EXISTING MAINSPRING EXCEEDS SPECIFICATIONS, AS THIS ONE DOES. A NEW MANUFACTURE REPLACEMENT MAINSPRING TO FIT THE #104 HAS DIFFERENT STRENGTH AND TORQUE CHARACTERISTICS FROM THE ORIGINAL, AND MAY CREATE EXCESSIVE FORCES WITHIN THE MOVEMENT. IMPORTANT: THERE ARE SEVERAL CRITICAL ITEMS OF THE #104E CHIME MOVEMENT. PAY SPECIAL NOTICE TO THESE THREE CRITICAL COMPONENTS: THE GREAT WHEEL GEAR, THE SECOND WHEEL GEAR WITH PINION, AND THE CHIME DRUM THAT SYNCHRONIZES AND DRIVES THE CHIME HAMMERS. IF ANY OF THESE COMPONENTS IS ABOUT TO FAIL, IT MAY NOT BE OBVIOUS. WHEN IT OCCURS, THE COST TO REPAIR WILL GIVE YOU A JOLT, BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE IN SUPPLY CHANNELS; ANOTHER MOVEMENT WILL BE REQUIRED. THAT IS WHY I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THESE CRITICAL COMPONENTS ARE IN TOP CONDITION ON MY RESTORED SETH SONORA CLOCKS. GOOD COUNSEL ON A CONTEMPLATED 8 BELL SONORA ACQUISITION WOULD BE: IF ONE ELECTS TO PURCHASE A SONORA OF UNKNOWN CONDITION – EVEN IF WORKING, BY ALL MEANS HOPE FOR THE BEST, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, BE PREPARED FOR PROBLEMS, SUBSEQUENT OPERATIONAL ISSUES AND EXTREME FRUSTRATION, AS WELL AS CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE. AFTER REASSAMBLY, APPROPRIATE ADJUSTMENTS FOR TIME, CHIME, HOUR STRIKE, SYNCHRONIZATION PENDULUM RATE AND BEAT ERROR ETC. WERE ACCOMPLISHED USING MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC MEANS. AN EXTENDED BENCH RUN TEST FOLLOWED. SEVERAL PHOTOS OF THE RESTORATION WORK ARE PART OF THE PORTFOLIO. ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION: · AS PART OF THE TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS PROCEDURES ON THE #89X MOVEMENT, THE PENDULUM BEAT ERROR AND THE PENDULUM BEAT RATE ARE CHECKED AND SET - AN OBJECTIVE OF NEAR ZERO FOR BEAT ERROR IS DESIRED. THIS RESTORED 89X MOVEMENT ADJUSTED TO ZERO ERROR AND STABILIZED AT ZERO ERROR. THIS ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE IS HIGHLIGHTED IN PHOTO 11. · FOR PENDULUM BEAT RATE, THE 89X IS DESIGNED TO RUN AT 9,777 BEATS PER HOUR. THE RESTORED MOVEMENT EASILY HELD THE 9,777 BEAT RATE, MEANING THE TIME KEEPING WILL BE DEPENDABLE AND THE MOVEMENT WILL GIVE RELIABLE SERVICE. IN FACT, BOTH MOVEMENTS IN THE SONORA 2001 WERE RESTORED TO SUPERIOR CONDITIION. THE PENDULUM BEAT RATE ADJUSTMENT IS ALSO HIGHLIGHTED IN SUPERSIZE PHOTO 11.· THE PENDULUM SWING ARC IS A FULL 3 5/8 INCHES, VERY ROBUST AND EXCEEDING ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONS. A HEALTY PENDULUM SWING IS A POSITIVE INDICATOR OF A HEALTY MOVEMENT THAT HAS VERY LITTLE FRICTION AND LOTS OF ENERGY. BEWARE OF A #89X MOVEMENT WITH A PENDULUM AMPLITUDE OF 2 ½ INCHES OR LESS – A SIGN OF POOR MOVEMENT HEALTH. THE FULL RESTORATION SERVICE WORK ON THE SONORA MOVEMENTS AND SONORA BELLS ASSEMBLY, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, IS A $1,500 VALUE IN AND OF ITSELF. IF YOU PURCHASE A SETH THOMAS 8 DEEP TONED BELL SONORA BELL CLOCK OF UNKNOWN OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY, A TRIP THE CLOCK DOCTOR IS LIKELY AND COSTLY. WHY NOT PURCHASE ONE THAT YOU CAN DEPEND ON FROM THE GET GO!!! WORKMANSHIP AND QUALITY – ALL OF MY SETH THOMAS ANTIQUE CLOCKS ARE FULLY RESTORED IN EVERY WAY UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED OTHERWISE. GREAT CARE IS TAKEN TO INSURE THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE FUNCTIONS PROPERLY, IS FULLY OPERATIONAL, MEETS OR EXCEEDS ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE SPECS, AND IS BENCH TESTED WHEN SHIPPED. MY SINCERE HOPE IS TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS IN EVERY WAY. AS WITH ALL MECHANICAL CLOCK MOVEMENTS, SOME ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE NECESSARY WHEN SETTING UP AFTER SHIPMENT, AND THE CLOCK IS SOLD AS IS.
