Question about Westclox Big Ben Moonbeam Alarm Clock
Suddenly the alarm on my clock will not work in any mode - light, sound, or light & sound. What can I do?
Go through the setting for alarm procedures as there may have been glitch that dropped the setting off

The later alarm trip assemblies - the one in which the cam on the trip staff is a steel disc with a cutout, and the trip wheel is steel with a stamped out projection - can be troublesome. I had so much trouble with these parts on a 1970 Big Ben leg model reproduction that I replaced them with the old style trip assembly having the brass finger on the trip staff and a brass trip wheel. This solved the problem of the trip staff being carried around with the trip wheel.

I purchased the clock about 3 months ago. I've set the alarm before using the different mode possibilities and it has not failed to activate as set until about two weeks ago. Now the time will elapse with no alarm occurring at all. The clock continues to keep perfect time. It is as if the alarm was not set at all. Not sure what to do. It hasn't been dropped, damaged or moved.
