Slide the top off (if it slides off) so that you can see the movement inside. The clocks striking mechanism is on your left side of the movement. There may be a steel lever that raises, and drops between each tooth on whats called a count wheel. The count wheel looks like the other gears only it has deep recessions spaced accordingly to represent each hour. If you raise, or trip the lever, it will advance to the next hour. Do this until you've corrected the strike to the desired hour. Hope this helps. This is just one of several different ways to sync your strike with the time. If I saw your movement, I could give a better answer. Good Luck

Chime on my Daniel Dakota Grandfather clock does not work

If the chime on your Daniel Dakota Grandfather clock has stopped working, it is likely due to a mechanical issue. You may need to take the clock to a professional clock repair shop to have it serviced. The repair shop should be able to diagnose the issue and make any necessary repairs.

Daneker grandfather clock

Yes chiming clocks always have a switch to turn them off. Often termed a 'night shut off'.

Ridgeway grandfather clock chimes the hour some hours and not others.What can be done?

This kind of repair requires a specialist that really knows his clocks, if it's a mechanical clock. If it's not mechanical, then you either live with it, or replace the mechanism.

After spot cleaning mantle clock with German movement (circa 1960), the clock chimes properly on the hour but does not chime on the half hour.

I am hoping that you oiled it also? One trick I have found is to gently lift the hammers and release, sometimes the hammers will release and strike the chimes/gong. Do this 4-5 times and hopefully it will get it chiming for you again.

Edward Meyer 31 Day Grandfather Clock manual

I recently bought an Edward Meyer clock from Grandfather clocks for less. The clock is beautiful, but it never chimed. I even took it apart and repaired the chimes, the hammers were too far away from the chiming rods, but now that it does chime, it sounds like someone banging pots and pans together, it's horrible. I've been looking online to find replacement chime and hammer parts so I can fix it myself.
