Notes about list of grandfather clock manufacturing companies
* Longcase clocks must always be on a level floor or surface. This is basic but it is crucial.
When positioning it next to the wall you might perhaps notice that the carpet or floor covering thickness is not uniform. Or it may be that the floor itself is uneven where it meets the wall.
If the case lists in one direction you have to alter the surface so that it stands vertical.
* Grandfather Clock Pendulums have a distinct front side. The pendulum face most often is the the flat part.
The pendulum of the longcase clock swing freely without coming into contact with any side of the case. If it brushes against the case perhaps it means that that the case is not vertical.
* The block of weights that actuate the clock should be free of the pendulum. They should hit the pendulum or any part of the casing as they come down.
* When you initiate the pendulums motion listen for a steady tick sound. The sounds should be evenly spaced.
If it is not regular in all probability it is because the case stands on an uneven surface. Try to level the surface and make required changes.
* When adjusting time avoid shifting the hands of the longcase clock towards the back more than a few minutes. Do not under any circumstances shift the hands backwards past the number twelve.
You can safely turn the hands of the clock forward. When moving past the mid day mark wait until your antique clock has completed striking the hour before going forward.
* If the clock gets behind or pulls ahead of time decrease or increase the linear dimensions of the pendulum.
Add to the pendulums length to decelerate the clock. Trim back the pendulum length to to accelerate the clock.
If you face difficulties in setting up the antique clock request the dealer to set it up. Savor the atmosphere of magnificence your clock lends to your living room!
