Locating diy clean and oil grandfather clocks
* A pendulum clock work correctly only if they stand on an even level surface. This sounds easy but it is vitally important.
When positioning the clock besides the wall you may find out that the rug or surfacing is not evenly thick. Or it may be true that the flooring lacks uniformity where it meets the wall.
If the case lists towards any side you must bring it back to vertical.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have distinguishable front and reverse sides. The front side most often is the the side that is flat.
The clock pendulum swing freely without coming into contact with any side of the case. If it makes contact with the case walls maybe it means that the clock does not stand vertical.
* The block of weights that actuate the mechanism should stand free of impediments. They should hit the pendulum or any part of the casing or mechanism when they descend.
* When you get the pendulum going listen carefully for a steady tick sound. The ticking sounds should be stable and regular.
If the sound is not even in all likelihood it is because the case is not vertical. Experiment a bit and make required adjustments.
* When you modify the time do not shift the grandfather clock hands back further than a few minutes. And certainly never move the hands rearwards over the mid day mark.
You can safely shift the hands forwards. When moving past the mid night mark pause until the clock has finished sounding the hour before you continue.
* If the grandfather clock loses or gains time decrease or increase the pendulums length.
Add to the pendulums length to decelerate the clock. Shorten it to to make the clock go more quickly.
