Inside information on sony pendulum clock
* Grandfather clocks must be set up on a plane and even surface. This sounds easy but it is essential.

If the case is standing at a slight angle and does not stand vertical you should get it standing vertically.
* Longcase Clock Pendulums have identifiable front and reverse sides. The pendulum face is ordinarily the the flat and polished face.
The clock pendulum must swing free of the walls of the case. If it comes into contact with the case it could be that the clock tower lists.
* The group of weights that propel the clock should stand obstruction free. They should hit the pendulum or the sides of the clock as they drop.
* When you start up the clock by swinging the pendulum check it out for a steady tick tock sound. The sounds should be occuring regularly.
If the clock makes an uneven sound it could be because the surface is not level. Do some experimentation and make required adjustments.
* When setting the time avoid moving the hands of the clock backwards by more than a few minutes. Dont ever turn the clock hands rearwards over the twelve o clock mark.
You can safely run the clock hands forward. When running them over the mid day mark wait until your antique clock has finished sounding the hour chime before you go on.
* If the grandfather clock falls behind time alter the pendulums length.
Add to the length to cut back on the clock speed. Shorten it to to quicken the clock.
