Chime problem

by Barry
(Beaver Falls)

I have a Ridgeway, full standing grandfather clock that we had to move. When I put the weights back on the chimes didn't work.

I have adjusted the length of the chain to different heights, but it still doesn't chime.

I can move the movement in the clock to force it to chime, but it will not do it on its own.

Now I had to move it again and even though it is level the pendulum will not continue to move.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Barry

Why don't you check if the chime lever on the dial is in the center and positioned over a chime and is not in the off position.
You should also open the side of your clock and make sure that the chime retard bar has not been put on the stopping the chimes from operating.

See if this helps you.

If not just post a comment on this page.

Good luck and Regards
