I have a 34 year old Seth Thomas grandfather clock that works well. However the chimes seem to ring more slowly. The clock has never been lubticated. Should the chimes gears be lubricated and if so what kind of oil?

You got it, the problem is the gears within the chimes. Apply a singer oil lubricant or any other lubricant can help fix the problem.

Seth Thomas wall clock doesn't chime on the quarter, half or three quarter hour but does chime on the hour

Hi,

Please change the time of your wall clock back 1 hour and check if the other 3 chimes return. There should be knobs on the side of the clock to help you do this. If not on the side, then please check on the back. Since you've already checked the settings and ruled them out as the cause of the issue (as well as the batteries), you might need to perform a factory reset on the clock if the steps I mentioned above fail.

Thank you.
