Thank you. I have my first grandfather clock. I bought it used so I don't have a manual. Your expertise is appreciated!!

You are absolutely wonderful!! I inherited my parents grandmother clock years ago. It had been moved around a lot. I didn't think it worked, but one day I got it chiming although it was out of sync with the correct time. I watched your video and in 2 minutes I got it working perfectly!! Thank you so much!! I am very HAPPY !!!

I inherited my Moms Grandfather clock. It has been dormant for a decade. I brought it home this weekend and it's chiming to different hours and such. It's beautiful and makes me smile every time it goes off. And I'm terrified to mess with the face like that. Your video is very helpful. Thankyou.

Thank you! I just "inherited" my Mom & Dad's grandfather clock & it got a little out of sync in the move. I gave up on about five other instructional videos because, basically, they just would not get to the point! I appreciate the directness as well as the ease of these instructions. And, most importantly, I was able to easily follow your directions & now my clock works perfectly! Thanks!!

Thanks to you I was able to fix my clock perfectly, but I didn’t removed the hands, I just loosened the nut a little bit and put them at the hour the time the clock was thinking (3:00)as you said, then waited for an our to see if the clock was going to count four time at 4:00. Once I verified it was right, proceeded to put the actual time which was 9:00pm. Thank you again! 🤗

Great video! Mine was a bit different with this adjustment. The minute hand on my clock has a bushing that prevents you from taking the hand off and putting it to whatever time you choose. I had to adjust the time backwards to get the clock chiming at the right time, and then made small adjustments to the bushing to get it to chime right on the quarter hour.

I have been having trouble with a Herschede Bermuda grandfather clock that I believe has a chime sequence which is not synced correctly, because the stopper in the movement oddly gets stuck tripping for up to 8 minutes until it reaches a trigger that locks it in place. I think this is just what I need to solve this problem so all the triggers can be lined up with the time, so thank you. If not, I guess the instruction manual would be right and the movement would need to be replaced.

Is that normal? Is there something I need to fix? Thanks

Hi Ryan! I cannot get the nut off of my clock to move the hands. I used pliers. No luck. Any other ideas? Thanks!!

@richardogden-2553 4 ай бұрын

Did you stop the pendulum before you took off the nut and removed the minute hand? Also, newer Howard Miller clocks instructions specifically say to only rotate the minute hand backwards. I'm having trouble realigning chime time with actual time. I am pushing the chime time off somehow. There's a catch I'm missing somewhere.

@ken5439 8 ай бұрын

If you have to move the hands several hours to get to the correct time, do you have to let the clock chime at each quarter hour or just turn quickly without waiting for the chimes. If the latter approach, will the chimes catch up and be correct? thank you

@ryanupchurch1 7 ай бұрын

You would need to allow your clock to complete each chime at each chime point before continuing. This does take generally around 15 min at most. Hope this helps!

We moved and our weights have not been found yet. If I order new weights does weight shell set mean it includes the weights? Or is that just the shells? I see them online but I am having a hard time finding out.

So sorry for late reply. It normally would be just the shells, the weights would be separate.

The hands on my click can only be rotated backwards, but someone rotated the hands to the next hour and the hi e no l9nger matches. Any advice? Thanks

@ryanupchurch1 7 ай бұрын

Margaret, normally with grandfather clocks you would not want to move your hands backwards as this may damage your clock. However if your clock is designed to rotate your hands backwards this may be a larger issue as I would recommend reaching out to a clock smith near you. Hope this helps.

@michaelkirkbright4723 8 ай бұрын

My grandmother clock has stopped chiming(probably because I did not reset as you have done!) when I move the minute hand manually there is a “click” as the hand passes each quarter,half,3quarters,full hour but the hammers do not move to chime! Any suggestions please?

@ryanupchurch1 7 ай бұрын

Continue moving your min hand from chime point to chime point. When you reach the top of the hour and it still does not work. I would recommend reaching out to a clock smith in your area. Hope this helps.

Mine had this problem..... I looked and looked and could not find it the controls for it.... THEN when I shone a flash light on the clock face I saw the shadow of the lever. I kept looing along the edges of the clock face Box for the lever, it is actually on the edge of the clock face itself just outside the "3" The top position was Silent. then a position for each of the three chimes below that. Labeled "Whitt", "St Mich", & "Westm". (for Whittington, St Michaels, & Westminster)

What do you do if your clock chimes five minutes late?

@ryanupchurch1 7 ай бұрын

The easy answer is to start with the min hand. The nut that holds your hands on the min arbor maybe loose allowing to much play in the min hand. Try putting your min hand on the correct time and then tighten the nut. Hope this helps.

@ryanupchurch1 7 ай бұрын

It can be something wrong with the movement. But likely it's your clock hands. Take off the min hand, there should be a nut that is part of the min hand. Use some pliers and slow and gently rotate the nut to a position that will put your min hand on time with your chime. If this doesn't help, I would recommend reaching out to a clock smith near you. Hope this helps.
