I got a clock for the 1890’s and it’s chime is off it will ring at the 30 minute mark I did like your video said but it still doesn’t ring what do I do??
Hi. Wow that Looks So easy! Hope you can help with the clock I’ve just inherited please…? My clock just doesn’t stop chiming on the hour I counted 15 or more! The hammer just keeps hitting a flat circular spiral spring in the back of the clock. . Also, as you look at the clock…do you wind the left for the chime spring and left for the clock, or the other way around? Thank you SO much
It sounds like it could need oiling or servicing. My suggestion is to wind both sides do not overtighten just enough when you feel attention. Both sides have to be wound in order to work correctly. It could be stuck. Give that a try first and then see how it goes
I only heard 3 chimes, not eight? We moved and I can’t get my clock in sync. I have it on a Westminster chime every quarter and that’s all messed up as well. The clock is running fine just the chimes are all off. 😔 Your clock is beautiful! Are you going to fix it to make it sound better? I love it.
I bought a Takeda clock and had it shipped directly to my parents in 1970 while I was in Vietnam. After they passed away. I inherited the clock. After being stored for a few years, I decided to hang it on a wall in my home, and discovered it would strike as if the time was six hours ahead of the displayed time. I'm going to try your technique, carefully winding the hour hand six hours ahead and post an update to this comment.
I have a Vintage Elgin Welby Division 350-060 Westminster Chime Mantel Clock it is striking the hour at 15 mins past the hour. after it strikes I have monved the min hand counter clockwise to the hour but it just goes on to stike the hour at 15 after on the next pass. Any suggestions as to how to fix. Thanks
My clock hands are showing the correct time. However, the number of chimes reflects 3 hour later than the correct time. For example, at 10:00 am it chimes once. So, I can’t just move the clock hands (which are correct) to match the number of chimes (which is wrong). Ideas?
Thank you for your help. My new mechanical full height clock is now striking on the correct hour, but the Mimue hand is 4 minutes late. (Ie: it strikes the hour 4 minutes after the hour). I would sincerely appreciate your expert perspective.
Some time with these old clock that happens. it could need oil on some of the pivet points. Also make sure it is fully wound but not over wound. Give it some time. LOL
You the clock man man Thanks for the info. Got a idea for future clock video's,put whatever it is above or under your video's It's hard to see what it is your doing. Just a suggestion. But your still the clock man man. From Chaparral New Mexico. Thanks for the info.

we watched your video good video we have a coo-koo clock chimes 10 minutes before original time..on half hour same thing 10 minutes early how do i correct that problem?
My clock was two strikes behind the time shown. I did what you advised i.e. moving the small hand only, reset the correct time and it fixed the problem. Thank you.
I purchased a Kieninger wind up Wall Clock at a Estate Sale. The pendum doesn't continue to swing. I have no directions. Which side is the Chime? Thanks.

Hi, Bulova mantel clock strikes correct hour with hands on quarter hour. ie: hands show 8:15 chimes ring 8 times. Rings on each quarter hour. Do I repair as you did above? Would be skipping the 1/2 and 3/4 hr. chimes or allow those to chime? Seems clock would chime next hour. But then could adjust hour as shown above? If you can even understand this question, what should I do? Thank you.

I notice you got a heart from the author but no solution! I have a similar problem. My clock strikes the half hour at a quarter past, the hour at 3/4 past! And it's several hours past the actual time.
@@pollyb.4648 yes, no solution. Watched tons of videos and in the end tried to fix it myself. I have really messed things up and the only way to fix it now is through a professional. My advice: don’t try & fix your clock yourself no matter how easy the videos make it seem to be. Always take antique clocks to a professional for repairs.
Hi. So what you're going to have to do is remove the minuite hand. There is sometimes a hand screw on the end of the stem. Remove the screw, then carefully pull the hand out. You will notice it looks like a square fitting so just place it back on at the correct angle. Hope this helps. @anitab3287

My wall clock Howard Miller. At any hour chimes 1 hour short. Six o'clock 5 strikes. How do I get this correct.thanks for your help. Iwill be watching.
When you forget to wind the alarm spring, the clock WILL NOT GET OUT OF SYNC. Just wind the alarm spring and it will chime correctly. The snail, which controls the number of chimes every full hour and is connected to hour hand, has not changed position relative to the hour hand.

I have an old 1930 clock, and it has the two crank positions. My question, is it the left side for the chime? and right side for clock? can u run clock without chime?
Piper grandfather clock does not time in sequence eight times twice at 2 o’clock several times at 3 o’clock and one time at 4 o’clock how do I get to time in sequence?
After syncing the chime, to get it to correct time once more, do you turn the hands clock-wise? I’m guessing counter clock-wise would loosen the hour and minute hands once more.
I have a Howard Miller clock.. it's off by a few chimes. So it just went 3 times and it's 11:00.I can't really move the hour hand.

Keeping the clock and strike / chime trains wound has nothing to do with this problem of striking the wrong hour. One thing has nothing to do with the other. With clocks that have both chimes and strikes both functions stop if the chime train runs down since it triggers the strike. With those clocks the wrong hour won't be struck, but rather the hour will be struck at the wrong quarter of the hour since the chime train is out of sync and it triggers the strike train. The problem with this clock was that the hour hand was in the wrong position relative to the snail which is human installation error. Rotating the hour hand from 6 to 7 moved the hour hand on the snail to where it should have been. A little theory: The snail is a cam with 12 declining steps on it. It somewhat resembles the shell of a snail. The snail is fixed solid on the hour shaft. When the strike train is started at the top of the hour the rack positioning lever is dropped onto the snail setting the chiming rack for the number of strikes for the current hour. As the clock chimes the gathering pallet turns moving the rack to closer to it's finishing position when the strikes for the hour are completed. The more hours that pass as you get closer to twelve, the lower on the snail the rack positioning lever falls causing the rack to have to travel farther. This clock doesn't have a chime train so you don't have 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and on the hour chiming. That can get out of sync if the chime train happens to wind down but the clock keeps running. Most clocks have some form of internal chime train correction which will usually engage at the 3/4 hour mark by itself. In the case of those movements just wind it up and let it run. It will correct itself.
White I appreciate the video, my full length grandfather clock is from 1992 and looks nothing like this. Not sure why you'd use a clock from 1919 as your example as while it's nice it's not a very common fit people to own COVID from 1919. Mine uses a weight system and has zero keys.
you got the chime to match the hour on the face but you didnt explain how to match it to the time that it was as you were setting it. You got it to ring 9 times with the hand on 9 but what if you were setting the whole thing at 3 oclock in the afternoon?
Your clock is chiming minutes before the hour. That needs to be fixed. Moving the hour hand when the chime is out of sync is as easy as opening a door (I have searched for 'how to open a door' videos but none seem to be available).
Please help support my channel with a HEART SUPER THANKS. Thank you.

Most clocks have some form of internal chime train correction which will usually engage at the 3/4 hour mark by itself. In the case of those movements just wind it up and let it run. It will correct itself.
White I appreciate the video, my full length grandfather clock is from 1992 and looks nothing like this. Not sure why you'd use a clock from 1919 as your example as while it's nice it's not a very common fit people to own COVID from 1919. Mine uses a weight system and has zero keys.
Thank you for your comment. But the process could be the same just move the hand in the proper position and reset the chime to the right time.
My clock isn't chiming. Haven't won't it in a while, but it was working last time I had it running. Why won't it chime or what can I do?
I’m not sure it might have to be serviced or oiled
you got the chime to match the hour on the face but you didnt explain how to match it to the time that it was as you were setting it. You got it to ring 9 times with the hand on 9 but what if you were setting the whole thing at 3 oclock in the afternoon?
All you have to do is keep moving the hands clockwise slowly until your reach the desired time.
What battery operated mantel clock...keeps chiming 20+ times no matter what hour
I have no idea that it’s crazy
Your clock is chiming minutes before the hour. That needs to be fixed.
Moving the hour hand when the chime is out of sync is as easy as opening a door (I have searched for 'how to open a door' videos but none seem to be available).
Does this not mean the clock is now running a hour fast unless you can stop the clock and restart when it seven o’clock .
No, it does not. If you move the hands to the proper chime time it is now *NSYNC.
Our 2 way Grandfathers clock is chiming correctly on the hour, but is no longer chiming at the 1/2 hour. Any suggestions on how to correct this?
Could need a cleaning and oil
My clock is striking one less on the hour How do i fix that .
Makes me think of a tv show..

I have this clock that chimes every 15 mins, and there is 3 key holes.. im struggling to reset it.. pls help, can i email or anyway i can dm you..
Some clocks do strike on the quarter hour as well. This possibly could be your case.
Hi I have a clock that dings every hour , at 11pm till 6am it is silent. Then after 7am from 11pm again it chimes. Is that normal?
It must be set up not to chime at night, so some clocks you can do that with.
