Thank you Alan, Your video helped me to complete the restoration of a clock which has a huge sentimental value. The owner used to listen to the chimes at her grandfather's house as a child. He has dementia now and is in care so to hear it chime again was wonderful.

Many thanks for your video. Your "move the upper pendulum slightly to the right", saved the day! I was in the process of transferring a working mechanism from a mantel clock into a granddaughter case. After I succeeded, the mechanism wasn't working. Although I was very careful handling it, obviously I had dislodged the pendulum slightly. After re-installing, the mechanism is now working. Your video much appreciated, especially as I was on the verge of giving up. With best wishes.

Learnt something today. I didn’t know the pendulum was on a clutch. My clock is stopping randomly and I’m stacking cards under one side trying to balance the beat. I think this tip will really help.

Thank you. Iv had pennies under my clock for ages to make it level to tick in time. Iv been looking for ages to fix is since i put on the pendulim and must have moved it. You just mage me a happy man as i find clocks and watches fascinating. My fav is automatic as no winding or battery required.

Very helpful video instruction. Thank you. The tone of my Smith's clock chime sounds bit "wobbly" (for want of a better description). The movement looks identical to the one in your video. Is ther anythi g I csn do to make the chime sound better? Cheers Tony

Hi Tony You could bend the long arm of the hammer upwards slightly , as it sounds like the arm is hitting the gong too far down. It only has to touch the gong very lightly. Other thing to check is that the coil is fastened to the clock securely.

Which key hole is which please? Is the left key hole (as you look at it) for the time spring or the chime spring?

in this case and movement the right hand keyhole viewed from front of clock is the main time spring. the left keyhole is for the chiming spring.

I have an old Enfield clock with same mechanism. It ticks at a regular beat but the chimes are not consistent with the hours. How can I correct this?
@alangbaillie

easiest way is to move the small hand manually to the correct time that synchronises with the strike. Then adjust the clock to the correct time as per this video

Can you tell me which key I need for this clock? I searched the web and learned that I needed the shaft size to order a key but I cannot get my digital calipher inside the recessed hole. Thank you so much in advance.

Sounds like the minute hand has been installed at the wrong position. Try removing it and repositioning it 90 Degrees either way.
