Question
just purchased this clock in working order from e bay however it is chimming one hour behind i.e. 1 instead of 2 etc.How can i rectify this please

Answer

   To get the hour striking the right # just move the hour hand to the # that the clock is striking (if moving it loosens the hour hand and moves it away from the dial- just push it back towards the dial with your finger nail- it is just friction fit on the tapered handshaft and nothing turns inside the movement when you move it - unlike the minute hand which is pinned or nutted to the shaft and trips things internally as it goes around.
