Antique Clocks - Regulator School House wall Clock by Ridgeway
Expert: Kenneth Saunders - 9/7/2008
Question
I purchased this oak case wall clock and after hanging it was able to get the pendulum running and it keeps great time but there is no strike, or chime. There is 3 holes in the face for winding. What is the function of each spring and is there any way I can get the chime/strike to work? The two springs to the left seem to be wound as tight as they can be wound.
Answer
middle one keeps the pendulum ticking- right is the chime and left is the strike spring. If the right chime spring is not wound then the clock will not make any sounds at all.
Might be a shutoff lever in a slot in the dial near the number 3 or 9?
Might look in the back door if there is one to see if the shipping lever is holding down the hammers?
