Clocks, Watches/Mantel Clock

Question
I have just purchased a Mason & Sullivan mantel Clock the ID  clock stamp markings are 76 West Germany # 14-070, is this the same as the US clock and the repair manuals will be the same.
I got the clock going but the chimes are out of sink.

Answer
Chiming systems can slightly vary from one manufacturer to another. There were not a lot of American made chiming clocks, most of them are German. I can't say for sure that one manual will cover the problem you are having. If you tell me specifically what the problem is I might be able to help you correct it.
