I'm a hobby clock repairer.I have a urgos uw32130d 1465771. i have bushed it twice it will cost for a long time yet it will run Westminster chime but stick on the other two.it has a different escape wheel i have a small peddelem movement but i is keeping time. i know nothing about this clocks history. can you tell me how much the weights should weigh or you think i have a different problem.          dick thanks

Answer
my Urgos chart calls a UW32130  a Westminster only  chain driven movement

and a UW32134 a triple chime cable driven movement

can we clarify??

the first would take 4.5   4.5  and 6.6 lbs on the chime weight(right side)

and the second would be 6.5   6.5  and 11 lbs
