SOLD $1,350.00 Sold: Oct 19, 2023 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
eBay ***UPDATE**The other day, I had a brainstorm... I was curious if the typical, standard long forked pendulum crutch would attach to the verge arbor on this movement, instead of the German style crutch it had on it originally.If you looked at this listing a couple days ago, it had a crutch with a pin that would fit into a slot on the special pendulums for this movement.So I took a typical crutch off of a parts movement I have, and low and behold, it fit right on!!... took me all of 10 minuted to switch it out!!Now this movement has the typical forked crutch, so a typical pendulum for a 9 tube can be used.I know this might sound confusing, so if you have ANY questions, email me, or get up with me via the info in the last photo UPDATE # 2**A knowledgable ebayer has provided some info...The "SA" stands for "Self Adjusting These movements are VERY rare... only a handful were made, and are the VERY LAST movements made by Hershede before closing the doors. Made like the German movements with self adjusting beat, as homeowners were having trouble setting the beat of their clocks. Condition Appears unused....... I do not see any indication this movement was ever run, or installed in a case 1)There is no build up of black gunk around the pivot holes, or on the gears or leaves that is typical of a movement that has run for any length of time.2)There are no "flat spots" on the leather hammer tips, that would be there from striking tubes. (see photo of hammer tip)3)There are no screw holes in the saddle board where it would have been mounted in a case.4)Retains the original wood shipping support 5)Retains the red tag stating not to adjust the hammer spring tension. 6)Retains the original shipping blocks on the pulleys. 7)The dial is pristine 8)Blueing on the hands is pristine.9)Moon disc is pristine Everything is in pristine unused condition ... with the exception of surface corrosion on the hammer springs. Examine photos closely.ETC, ETC, ETC....If you have a movement that needs an overhaul, dont spend $2000,-$3000 getting it overhauled.Swap out the entire assembly with this assembly.... cheaper and much quicker!!... and the entire thing is brand new!The serial number is SA 642939.This movement is different than any Herschede 9 tube movement I have ever seen. Some things are different from a typical Hershede 9 tube movement.It is set up in the way of a German style movement....the way Germans do things....The escapement verge has adjustable pallets.There are levers that lock on to the dial mounting pins, instead of the typical post that snaps into a dial mounting post I "serviced" this movement.... oiled the pivots.This will be well packed, double boxed.IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, EMAIL ME, OR GETUP WITH ME VIA THE INFO IN THE LAST PHOTO. I am a full time horologist, not a hobbyist or part timer, specializing in Durfee, Elliott, Hershede, and similar chime tube musical tall case clocks.
