TIKROUND Original Youngtown 12888 Chime Melody Pendulum Clock Movement with 2 Sets of Hands 23.5mm (59/64 Inch) Shaft Length 16mm (5/8 Inch) Thread Length.

Worthwhile replacement part but sadly instruction for the chime setting was not clear.Till now still dont understand how to set it

To be honest, more times than not, I find buying cheaper parts results in poor quality. I ended up buying two clock movements to replace the dying chime in my 30 year old regulator quartz clock with pendulum and the Westminster Chime (on the hour). The old movement was made in Japan - Takane. I bought the exact Takane replacement along with this model as a fallback. The Takane replacement mechanically was easy to install and functioned like the original regarding timekeeping but the Takane Movement has been reduced to a cheaper sounding chime that chimes 4 times in an hour and strikes for each hour at the top of the hour. I kind of like that feature but the Takane chime sounded like a toy compared to the old chime. I was going to deal with it but decided to give this clock movement a chance. It required more work to fit it as it is basically 3 parts (chime box, speaker, and clock movement). The shaft was a little smaller but with the washer and nut, it covered the shaft hole. The clock arm options were good and the actual metal was covered with protective plastic to keep it from transit marks. The shaft part where the arms connect are plastic so not sure about longevity yet. It keeps perfect time. I hot glued the speaker to the back of the clock in three tacked places so I could easily remove if I wasn’t happy with thing. (See photo) I also soldered the clock movement to the chime box to ensure I have no connection issues down the road but the pictures show it is twisted to connect. The chime box has options for different chimes or no chimes and it has a feature that shuts the chimes off at night while you sleep. If you read the instructions, it’s not that difficult to sync the chimes if you are mechanically inclined. If you are not, ask a friend or pay an installer. The best part is the sound which can be adjusted (see my video). It sounds nearly like there are real chimes behind the clock face. I’m not exaggerating, it sounds way better than I expected. I was not paid to put in this review; I just hope I help someone trying to bring an old friend back to life albeit with better sound :-)

The clock works great, nice sound

I used this to replace an aging clock action. Was easy to install ymmv. Keeps good time, is a bit too loud past 1 on the chime. Measure your clocks action to make sure it fits.

Bought this to replace the mechanical pendulum drive in my mantle clock, This one is great, I bought a cheaper one(similar to this one),but it made the pendulum swing too fast, I purchased this one, and it worked perfectly, it had the pendulum swing, as good as the mechanical pendulum did, I used my original pendulum, from the mechanical works, I had to adapt the arm that connects the pendulum to the battery operated one, easy to do, and it works great
