 Clock Repair Help

Help finding a replacement Kieninger clock movement:
    First thing to do is to get all the information off of the back plate of the Kieninger clock movement itself and write it down. Be sure to remove the weights and pendulum if the case is to be moved to see the back plate of the movement. Do not make the mistake of looking for the model number of the clock, this number is on the paperwork that comes with the clock and is not what is needed to replace the Kieninger movement. As stated above, the information needed is located on the back plate of the movement itself.

    The numbers off of the Kieninger clock movement's back plate are not always very helpful in determining what the movement is. You may have a number such as this: 84 R 80CM. In this case 84 is the year, R is the beginning of the series number that you must finish figuring out what it is, CM is the pendulum length in centimeters from the suspension post all the way down to the bottom of the pendulum. You must still figure out the Kieninger series number, or at least the rest of it. You do this by looking at the below charts.

    So to find out what Series movement you have, the first thing you do is determine if your clock is run by weights or springs, and if weights then how many. This will tell you what chart to use. Then determine the chime, if its Westminster, triple chime, Bim Bam or gong. You can tell if the clock is a Westminster will have 8 hammers, Triple chime will have 12 hammers,. Bim Bam will have only 2 or three hammers and gong will only have one. Next is the hand shaft length. This is measured from the front plate of the movement all they way out to the end of the minute hand threads.
