What you must know about miniature sports grandfather clocks
* A pendulum clock must stand on a flat surface. This is basic but it is crucial.
When adjusting it to stand flush against the wall you may realize that the floor covering is not uniformly thick. Or perhaps the floor itself is at a different height near the wall.
If the case tends to tilt to one side and is not vertical it is essential to even it out.
* Pendulums have an identifiable front side. The front of the pendulum is usually the the flat face.
The clock pendulum swing without touching any part of the case. If it makes contact with the case walls it may mean that that the case is not vertical.
* The weight sets that are its driving force should be free and clear of obstructions. They should collide with the pendulum or the sides of the clock casing when they descend.
* When you set off the pendulum swinging listen carefully for a steady tick tock sound. The ticking sounds should be regular and even.
If the sound is not regular that may be because the surface is not horizontal. Experiment a bit and make needed readjustments.
* When you set the time avoid shifting the clock hands back more than a few minutes. And certainly never turn the clock hands backwards past the mid night mark.
You can safely move the clock hands forwards. When shifting over the mid day mark pause until the grandfather clock has completed striking the hour before you proceed further.
* If the clock runs too fast or too slow alter the pendulums length.
Add to the pendulums length to decrease the speed of the clock. Decrease the pendulum length to to speed up the clock.
