Question
I have a Howard Miller "Regulator" wall clock. It has been working fine for several years. Recently after I rewound the clock the chimes started to chime 5 minutes after the hour, quarter hour, etc. Other than that it keeps perfect time. Is there an adjustment I can make or should I let a professional correct it?
the minute hand is two pieces - the hand and the center collet with the square hole in it. holding the hand and either with a square end of a file that fits the collet or a pair of pliers on the OD of the collet--rotate the relationship between the two so when put back on the minute hand shaft and the nut replaced, it makes you happy where it is pointing.
