Answer
. In the back there is a silver wheel that oscillates back and forth. Hold the rim of the wheel still with your thumb and with the tip of a ballpoint pen, move one of the spokes of the 3 spoked finger on the top side of the wheel to the right to speed it up---trial and error to get it right. if you go all the way right and it is still slow- the clock needs professional service because it needs proper dissasembly and cleaning.  see photo
