Essentials about how to fix my grandfather clock
* A pendulum clock must be set up on a flat surface. This is a very basic point but it is essential.
When setting the grandfather clock flush against the wall you may observe that the rug or surfacing is not uniform in thickness. Or it may be true that the floor itself is at a different height next to the wall.
If the clock leans away from vertical it is critical to get the clock vertical.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have distinguishable front and reverse sides. The front side in most cases is the the flat side.
The pendulum of the clock should stay without touching any part of the case. If it hits the case it may mean that the clock tower is not quite vertical.
* The assembly of weights that actuate the mechanism should stand obstruction free. They should not touch the pendulum or the casing as they fall.
* When you initiate the pendulums motion listen carefully for a steady tick tock sound. The tick tocks should be regular and evenly spaced.
If it is not even it is likely because the surface is not horizontal. Try out some experiments and make necessary changes.
* When adjusting time do not turn the clock hands rearwards further than a few minutes. Do not ever run the clock hands towards the back past the twelve o clock mark.
You can safely move the hands forward. When moving past the mid night mark hold back until the clock is through with sounding the hour before you proceed.
* If your antique clock loses or gains time modify the length of the pendulum.
Add to the length to cut down the speed. Shorten the length to to quicken the clock.
If you have problems in setting up the antique clock get your dealer to assist you. Enjoy the look of gracefulness your clock bestows to your interiors!
