Question
my clock chimes 2 hours ahead, ex. at 3:00 it chimes 5 times.  HELP

Answer
You need to reposition the hour hand.  The hour hand is friction fir to its shaft so the task is easily done.  It is always a good idea to stop the clock while making such adjustments.  Grasp the hour hand, as close to its shaft as you can, while applying inward pressure turn the hour hand back 2 hours.  While doing this hold the minute hand, keeping it from turning.  This should do it for you, start the clock and reset in the normal manner.  Regards WJP
