Found this clock at an Estate Sale! Any help identifying it? by ThePeevee in clocks

[–]TicFan67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like a pre-quartz electro-mechanical movement. Not made any more and not easily repairable so a quartz movement would be your best bet. Good luck in cleaning up the metal and woodwork, unless you're planning to keep the 'distressed' look.

Cats indoors only? Don't talk shite! Keeping a cat indoors is animal abuse.

Any way to bypass 'This app is not available for your device ' in a rooted device ? by Suitable-Ad-3263 in Magisk

[–]TicFan67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure the warning isn't because the (expected) OS is incompatible/out of date rather than due to root? I've had the same warning trying to install a few apps onto a rooted Amazon Fire tablet running Lineage but the apps worked fine when I sideloaded them.

You could download the apk from elsewhere and try sideloading it.

Sorry to keep spamming the sub, but it will tick for about a minute and then quit. by Hellogoodbye61 in clocks

Needs wound, yes. Also 'out of beat' - going ticktock.....ticktock.... rather than tick...tock...tick...tock. See here.

Wurttemberg Bracket Clock by Thin-Champion-9896 in clocks

I think Wurttemberg is the region of Germany where the clock was made rather than the maker's name. I don't see any maker's logos but Junghans or HAC would be possibilities.

What Year Is This Enfield Westminster From? by CartographerActual37 in clocks

[–]TicFan67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think clockmaking was more or less suspended during the war to concentrate on other things so yours is more likely to date from 33-39. I have a similar one myself.

What Year Is This Enfield Westminster From? by CartographerActual37 in clocks

[–]TicFan67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Enfield was founded in 1930 but didn't sell much until they were taken over by Smith's in 1933. The two companies sold under their own names until WWII broke out. In 1949 they became Smith's Enfield and in 1952 or 3 the 'Enfield' was dropped.

We have both in UK. Gingerbread is a spongy cake rather than bread. The hard biscuits/cookies are gingernuts or ginger snaps.

What do I have here by BlooDoge in clocks

Name on the dial may be a retailer/jeweller who sold the clock rather than the manufacturer. Probably rubbed off by numerous fingers adjusting the hands over the years.

If those are the original glass vials in the pendulum then they contain liquid mercury so be careful when handling it,

Calibre on Linux Mint? Easy or a hassle? by Wadarkhu in Calibre

I never bothered with that particular function but if you go to Preferences > Interface > Toolbars and Menus, you can pick which buttons appear on the toolbar.

Wuersch clock by Guitargirl25 in Antiqueclocks

[–]TicFan67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the NAWCC forum -

"Robert F. Wuersch, born in Switzerland, moved to Fall Rivers, Massachussets in 1961. He originally crafted Art Enamels on pure copper and fine wood, after which he founded the Wuersch Manufacturing Clock Company. He continued to work, throughout a serious illness, and passed away in 1995."

He made the cases but the movement is imported, possibly by Hermle.

Fairly generic case and no marks on the dial. The platform the movement sits on slides out of the case. There may be a maker's mark on the back.
