Tips regarding antique grandfather clock values
* Pendulum clocks must stand on a flat ground or surface. This appears to be very elementary but it is also very important.
When positiioning the grandfather clock flush next to the wall you may notice that the rug or carpet thickness is not the same everywhere. Or maybe the flooring lacks uniformity at the point where it meets the wall.
If the case is leaning to one side and is not vertical it is necessary bring it to vertical.
* Clock Pendulums have distinguishable front and reverse sides. The front end is ordinarily the the side that is polished and flat.
The pendulum of the clock must not be obstructed by touching any side of the case. Should it make contact with the case it could be that the case lists to one side.
* The group of weights that supply power to the clock should be free and clear of obstructions. They should collide with the pendulum or the sides of the clock when they fall.
* When you set the pendulum swinging check for a steady ticking sound. The ticking sounds should be occuring regularly.
If it is not even it could be because the clock is not placed on a level surface. Do some experimentation and make necessary alterations.
* When modifying the time avoid shifting the clock hands towards the back more than a few minutes. Never turn them backwards across the number twelve.
You can safely turn the hands forwards. When turning them past the mid day mark hold on till your clock has completed sounding the hour chime before continuing.
* If your antique clock gains or loses time decrease or increase the pendulums length.
Lengthen the pendulum to step down the pace. Shorten the length to to make the clock go more quickly.
