Question
The clock works perfectly but the chiming feature was turned off. How do I turn it back on?
Usually the switch is on the front of the clock and is a tab that slides up or down.
Sometimes there is a screw on the back of the clock to turn the strike on and off. If so, it should be stamped with an indicator. This would perhaps be a symbol of a bell or some similar item.
Please check the front around the edge of the face and the back of the clock. Let me know what you find.

| Comment | You were 100% correct. Thank you. I was viewing the clock from an angle concealing the lever. It is a joy to recover the chime sound. | ||
