Howdy all,
Have just reassembled a basket case. What I believe to be an old Ansonia large school house regulator. Now runs great. However, the minute hand lags about 3 minutes behind the strikes on the hour and half hour. Minute hand was loose on arbor due to wear so I did the old peanut can lid shim trick which took all of the play out of it so it is tight on the arbor. There is 1 minute of play in the arbor, (gear wear?) so that still leaves about a 2 minute difference between the strike and where the hand should be. Any suggestions on a fix? Or just one of those old age- you have to live with it things?
Thanks
Rich
