    Ridgeway clock stopping

    So far so good. After rechecking the level of the clock it is still running. The weights are a little past half way down.

    Ridgeway clock stopping

    Doubt humidity is the problem. Where I live there is virtually no humidity year round. I tried releveling the clock to see if that helps. Will report back in a couple of days when the weights get down to about halfway. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Ridgeway clock stopping

    For about a week or so my ridgeway grandfather clock stops when the weights are about half way down. Doesn't matter what the time is. I tried inspecting the chain looking for a kink or something that could stop the clock. Didn't find anything. When the clock is running it keeps perfect time...

    Ridgeway Grandfather clock chain came off.

    Thanks for your info John. I have fond memories of helping my Grandmother wind the clock when I was in elementary school. I had to wear white gloves to keep my fingerprints off of the weights. I was in 5th grade in 60/61 and 6th grade in 61/62. If the clock was not made in the 1950's then it...

    I know it dates back to the late 1950's because I have memories of helping my grandmother polish the weights and wind the clock back then. I had to wear white gloves so I wouldn't get any finger prints on the weights. The back plate of the mechanism on the right bottom corner has Gravely Furn...

    Ridgeway Grandfather clock chain came off.

    Sorry for the fuzzy photos. The camera on my flip phone isn't the best. It is all I have at the moment. Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to carefully get the chain to go around the ratchet. The ratchet is working and not broken. No idea what I did to cause the chain to come off. My...

    Ridgeway Grandfather clock chain came off.

    The left chain on my clock came off. I am trying to find a parts manual to help reinstall the chain. I inherited this clock from my grandmother. I don't know how old it is. It is over 65 years old because I used to help wind the clock when I was a little boy in the 1950's. I believe the serial...
