Clocks, Watches - Clock won't chime


Expert: Kenneth Saunders - 3/16/2009

Question
Recently, I wound my clock with all 3 movements.  It has 3 weights.  The center weight controls the clock movement.  I'm not sure which of the other weights control the chime movements.  That night, my chimes stopped working. The clock continues to run properly but without chimes.  The weights have not moved since being wound.  Is there something that I can do to get my clock to chime?  Thanks for your help.

Answer
make sure the haeaviest weight is on the right as you face the clock and the next in the middle.

pull down on the right hand weight to make it slightly heavier as you move the minute hand around the dial through an hour. you did not shut the chimes off with the switch by the "3" on the dial did you?
