Question Hi Kenneth,
Two days ago I bought the subject clock, it's 8 year old clock. The problem I have is chime strikes on between 1&2, 4&5, 7&8 and 10&11 instead of 3,6,9 and 12.
Best regards,
Hyde
Answer the minute hand is two pieces - the hand and the center collet with the square hole in it.Remove the round nut 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 it on the minute hand shaft and the nut replaced, it makes you happy where it is pointing.
