    Quarter Hour Chime Speed

    The quarter hour chimes on my 2004 Howard Miller movement (Kieninger MS001) are very slow compared to other similar movements. The top of the hour chimes take 23 seconds to complete. The movement looks very clean and all of the bushings look good. While I am no clock expert is there a way to...

    Hello, This is a GB No. P42. I'm not understanding all the parts of this verge and pendulum leader. Can you adjust the beat with this or does it have different purpose? Thanks, Jerry

    Help Magnetic chime rods

    I delivered and set up an '80's era Howard Miller single chime GF clock at a lady's house recently. When I set the new time, the westminster chimes sounded terrible. The chime hammers were affixed to brass bars instead of wires and were easy to bend laterally to line up with the chime rods, but...

    Help FMS movement constantly strikes.

    Hi, This FMS movement continues to strike and does not stop. I can see that the last tooth on the rack is smaller than the rest and does not allow the gathering pallet (?) to advance to the last tooth on the rack. I have also been adjusting the spring tension on the rack (last picture) with...

    Help Tarnished brass dial

    Hello, this is the dial on an old German long case clock. The numbers on the dial appear to be screen printed. I'd like to know which method of tarnish removal would be safe for the screen printed numbers. I'm quite certain that rubbing any abrasive cleaner on this dial would remove the numbers...

    Center chain ratchet allows weight to slip down when weight is hung

    Hello, Clock hobbiest here. After hanging the center weight on a Ridgeway GF clock, it will stay for a moment or two, but then the chain will allow the weight to drop quickly. The hook on the chain is at the correct end of the chain, as it raises the weight when pulled. The chain fits the...

    Sessions banjo clock non-adjustable pendulum

    Hello, I picked up an old Sessions banjo clock the other day. It has a real nice porcelain dial and a nice clean movement and runs strongly. But it has a non-adjustable pendulum bob, and there is no other adjustment on the movement. It runs very fast. I suspect it has been modified with this...
