Question
Whats the best way to set the strikes with the hour?  Ours is  striking 2 hours behind.  Like at 9:00  it strikes 7 strikes.   I      Can I move the hour hand to 7 to match  up with the strikes. then move the minute hand  2 rounds to get the correct time at 9  so   the hour and the strikes are the same?  Thank You!!

Answer
Sounds good to me.  I am not sure your Ridgeway has an automatic sycnchronization feature, but just in case it does not allow each sequence you must pass through to get to the correct time to complete before proceeding to the next quarter.  Regards WJP
