What causes a slow chime?
I’ll start with this is an older clock. Im 31 and my grandparents have had it for as long as I can remember. It went years without being wound, at least a decade. I have recently inherited the clock. It keeps great time, but when it chimes on the hour and half hour it’s very slow. Here’s the best way I can explain it.
It pops open, go “Coo”, wait a second and a half “Coo”. Wait 2 seconds. “Coo”, wait a second and a half, “coo”.
When I was a kid the chime was a normal speed. Anyway I could fix it? I’m fairly handy, so if it’s a simple fix, I can do it. However, I DEFINITELY don’t want to risk breaking it. If it’s something than can be fixed, I’m more than willing to have it done by a professional if you have any recommendations.
Thanks!!!
