Details about best grandfather clock movements
* A pendulum clock must always be on an even level surface. This sounds basic but it is crucial.
When positioning the clock in front of the wall you may observe that the floor carpeting thickness is not the same everywhere. Or perhaps the floor is uneven at the wall.
If the case tends to tilt towards any side you will have to get it standing straight.
* Clock Pendulums have front and back sides you can tell apart. The face of the pendulum most often is the the polished face.
The pendulum of the longcase clock remain free of the sides of the case. If it hits the case it could be that that the case is not vertical.
* The group of weights that energize the clock should be free and clear of obstructions. They should hit the pendulum or the sides of the clock as they fall.
* When you start the pendulum in motion listen carefully for a steady tick tock sound. The sound should be regular and evenly spaced.
If it is not regular it is likely because the case leans a bit to one side. Try to straighten it out and adjust as required.
* When altering the time do not turn the hands of the longcase clock towards the back more than just a few minutes. Dont ever turn them backwards across the number twelve.
It is alright to turn the hands forward. When moving them past the twelve mark pause until your antique clock is done with sounding the hour chime before you proceed further.
* If your longcase clock runs fast or slow shift the length of the pendulum.
Lengthen the pendulum to decelerate the clock. Trim back the pendulum length to to quicken the clock.
