For schematics, the best you're likely to get is an exploded view of the movement. For that, we would need to see any identifying marks on the movement, typically on the rear movement plate. From what I can see of the front of the movement through the open work of the dial, it's probably not an Urgos.
Feb 22, 2024. #1. Good morning. I recently came into possession of a Ridgeway Grandfather Clock. The model number is 322 and the serial number is 89040378. When it was removed from its original location aproximately 1 year ago it was fully opertional. I have not had it in use since bringing it to my house.
Jun 14, 2024. #5. I watch the local Craigslist and estate sales for grandfather clocks, and there are occasionally some that are similar to yours (but yours is interesting because of the massive appearance of the case. Right now there are 2 similar aged grandfather clocks with an 'ask price' of $400, and they have been there for a while.
I’m trying to get some information on a grandfather clock that was passed down to me. It’s a ridgeway. Model - 164. Movement - W. Finish - Cog. Serial No. 5134. I can’t seem to find any information on it, the year, original cost, average cost today, etc.
It can be found in both the 1967 catalog as well as the 1977 catalog, so it was produced for a number of years. Attached below are scans. The first image is from the 1967 catalog and the other two pages are from 1977. In the 1977 catalog, the clock had a suggested retail price of $569 or $639, depending on movement.
Deceased. Jul 11, 2011. #8. Tim, the usual way to match them up is by length and width. Timesavers shows 2 for Urgos, 24687 is 18 mm by 8mm and 24689 is 25.5 mm by 11 mm. harold bain, Member ch 33. "If it won't "tick", let me "tock" to it".
grandfather clock is not of great value. Tubular chime. models are worth more but normal chime rod clocks. are only worth the value of the case. A 1980 movement. is about at the end of its useful life. A replacement. movement is about the same as the current cost of servicing. it.
To make a long story short I got the clock chime working again but it would always get caught up on the 45-60 minute section on the chime locking plate (3rd step right before the long one that would play the number of hours). Clock movement would continue but chime would only work for the first 3 15min intervals.
Way back up there *points up*. Ok, we have finally reached the point of this post. The clock’s pendulum stops after about 10-20 minutes. I have read up a bit on this. I have listened to the tick/tock and it sounds even to me - like a metronome. However, the pendulum does swing in a diagonal back to front motion rather than just side to side.
Knowing model numbers and old retail prices is just a 'curiosity' thing ... "Working on" clocks is all about the movement. Your clock likely has an Urgos UW32 movement. The Urgos company faltered about 1983 and folded in 1990. About 10 years later Ridgeway sold out to Howard Miller and now is a product in name only.
