The lowdown on wurlitzer grandfather clock
* Pendulum clocks must always be on a plane and even surface. This sounds basic but it is vital.
When positioning the longcase clock next to the wall you might discover that the carpet or floor covering thickness is irregular. Or it may be true that the the floor is not uniform at the location where it meets the wall.
If the case is standing at a slight angle towards one direction or the other you will have to get it standing straight.
* Clock Pendulums have front and back sides you can tell apart. The front is in most cases the the flat side.
The pendulum bob swing without touching any part of the case. If it hits the case it may mean that the case leans away from vertical.
* The arrangement of weights that drive the clock should stand clear of the pendulum and walls. They should not come into contact with the pendulum or the clocks sides as they descend.
* When you set off the pendulum swinging listen for a constant ticking sound. It should be regular and evenly spaced.
If it is not regular it is likely because the case leans a bit to one side. Try to level the surface and readjust as required.
* When you set the time avoid moving the clock hands rearwards by more than a few minutes. And under no circumstances shift them backwards over the twelve o clock mark.
It is okay to shift the hands of the clock forward. When shifting them past the mid day mark pause till your antique clock has completed sounding the hour before you proceed.
* If your antique clock runs too slow modify the linear dimensions of the pendulum.
Make it longer to step down the pace. Reduce the pendulum length to to quicken the pace.
