How to set grandfather clock chime?
Everything works ok except that grandfather clock – 1920’s – 2 weights – chimes on the hour and 1/2 hour – chimes 15 minutes late.
problem with a winding clock that does not chime occasionally?
I have a problem with my antique clock because it does not chime occasionally.
General rule: the clock chimes every half an hour.
there are two problems:
1. the clock skips the chime sometimes, leaving the chime numbers to be irregular
e.g:
at 4 it chimes 4 times
at 4.30 it chimes once (because it is 1/2 hour chime)
at 5 it chimes 5 times
at 5.30 it skips the chime
at 6 it chimes once (because of the previous skip)
and even from 12-4 it does not chime at all!
2. the clock chimes where the minute hand is at 9 and 3. which means its 15 minutes earlier than the clock is supposed to chime.
How am I able to tackle these two problems? I really appreciate your help and advice 
thank you
