Hi I wonder if anyone at all could help me please? I have got a Gustav Becker grandmother clock that works well and keeps good time but will not strike or chime when the lever is positioned for the Whittington chime.
When the lever is positioned for the Westminster chime the clock stops at 7 minutes to 2 so i don't use that setting and it also never chimes or strikes on that setting either.
Today we tried to get the striker and chimes to work but the clock will strike 13 and then the next hour it will strike 8 or 2 or 3 anything but the correct time. It will not chime on the 1/4 1/2 hour either and if you move the lever over to the Westminster chime and i press the lever to manually start the chime it starts to chime and then stops leaving the strikers in mid strike and do not return to their rightful position.
This clock worked perfectly in every way until it was moved. It was cleaned and serviced just before it was moved so whatever has gone wrong may have been when it was moved but any help to hear those wonderful chimes again would be wonderful.
