SETH THOMAS #2 REGULATOR:
The Seth Thomas #2 regulator pendulum cannot be put on the stick upside down
or the clock will run slow. The pendulum is not symmetrical. Be sure to check this.
Some times there will be a clock that comes to you with a cam attached
to a shaft with a set screw that has been broken off making it almost impossible to get the
cam off. ;Most of the time this cam can be removed by cutting a slot on the screw where it
sits flush with the surface of the cam. Be sure to cut the slot deep enough so that maximum torque can be applied to the broken screw on the first try; you will usually only get one
chance so make it count. To reposition the minute hand after removing the centerpost cam use the square end of an old file . Insert it in the hand hub bushing hold the end of the file with a pair
of pliers and slide the hand forward or backward as needed until it matches the trip point
at 12 0;clock . To loosen up the hub hit over a punch / anvil that just fits the edge of the
hand bushing. This will loosen up the bushing enough to allow it to be moved.
