Report about antiqueclocks
* A pendulum clock always need to be set up on an even level surface. This sounds simple but it is quite critical.
When positioning the clock adjacent to the wall you may ascertain that the rug or surfacing is not evenly thick. Or it may be that the the floor is not even at the wall junction.
If the case is standing at a slight angle to one side or the other you must first correct it.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have a distinct front side. The front face of the pendulum is usually the the flat face.
The pendulum of the longcase clock be free of all the sides of the case. Should it make contact with the case it could mean that the tower is not really vertical.
* The group of weights that are the clocks power supply should stand obstruction free. They should impinge on the pendulum or any part of the casing as they descend.
* When you start up the pendulum listen carefully for a steady tick tock sound. The beat should be regular and even.
If the clock makes an uneven sound that may be because the case is not vertical. Try to make the case stand right and do whatever adjustments are needed.
* When you adjust the time do not turn the hands of your clock backwards by more than a few minutes. And never move the clock hands rearwards over the mid night mark.
It is alright to shift the hands forward. When running them over the twelve o clock mark hold back until your longcase clock is through with sounding the hour chime before going on.
* If the clock falls behind time alter the length of the pendulum arrangement.
Step up the length to lower the clocks speed. Shorten it to to quicken the clock.
