Please help.?I need to find out how to properly set the time and chimes for a grandfather clock. Here are all the stats on the clock that I can see: Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If your granfather's clock is anything like mine's, then here is what you should do. Wind the spring (do not overwind!!!) If there is a manual access to the clock's arms, you should gently rotate them to a position where the clock is supposed to chime and let it chime. Count the chimes. If it is synchronized - great. Turn the arms slowly to set the proper time, letting it chime every time it is supposed to. If you go too fast - it will skip the chime and the next chime will be off by one count. Incidentally, this is how you make it synchronized - by going a bit faster and not letting it chime. Whatever you do - do it very carefully, don't push it or you might break it. |
