I have bought a granddaughter clock and the Westminster chime goes slow every 3 days ..the tune is slow... do you have or know of a video covering this problem. Th clock keeps good time and the chimes strike at the correct positions ( hour , 3 , 6 and 9 ) but the chime slows after 3 days .
Hi James- The term "granddaughter clock" generally refers to a small hall clock which is spring-driven rather than weight-driven like a grandmother or grandfather clock. If your clock is spring-driven, be sure you are properly winding it. It should be wound fully, until it comes to a hard stop, not just until you think it is tight. I'll be happy to help further, with more information.

Mean - just getting going before you realise it is a long advert for a purchase. Avoid
