Picture of Urgos Grandfather Clock Movement Parts
November 25, 2009 . by BillI thought it would be fun to show all the parts of this movement. In the first photo it has been disassembled and is ready for cleaning. You can tell it needs cleaning by the black deposits on the pivots (the ends of the gear shafts that turn in the holes in the brass movement plates). Many of the parts are strung on wires for convenience in cleaning. Parts such as the hands, chains and hammer heads are not put in the cleaning fluid.

This movement plays Westminster chimes on each quarter hour, and strikes the number of each hour after the hour chime. The time gear train is in the center, chiming on the right, and hour striking on the left. A clock that chimes has about twice as many parts as one with just hour and half-hour striking.
Many of the pivots needed polishing to remove wear, and I installed 19 bushings to correct for wear in the pivot holes.

I am replacing my Urgos UW03012 movement in my Ridgeway Grandfather Clock due to worn bushings. I would like to (slowly) replace the worn bushings in my old movement during the 2-year warrantee period that comes with my new Urgos movement. (The old one is still working fine, except it takes a heavier center weight to swing the pendulum.) Where do I get a bushing kit?
I have a clock made in germany model 122 movement – E serial # 345. I need the reference number and where to buy the suspension spring to URGOS UW32/1A.
