SOURCE: clock keeps flashing i keep

It looks like the clock is on its way out. I would try two things. First, turn the power off at the main switch, leave it off for a few mins and then turn it back on and see if it makes a difference. You may need to do this a couple of times. Secondly, with the power switched off, repeatedly press all the clock buttons one at a time a number of times - there may be a contact that needs cleaning by operation and then see what happens. if you do need a new clock/timer then ask espares for a quote.

SOURCE: Halo Grandfather Clock won't chime hour

In my eyes there are two kinds, ones that are a real grandfather clock that runs on gravity using a series of weights and gears with different counterweights for chimes and running the clock itself, and there are the show pieces that look like a grandfather clock but run on newer tech and electronics. If a real one then would try first pulling the weights to the top. They are usually shaped into a pinecone or something. If weight is at bottom them have to pull corresponding chain with weight till the weight is at the top of case. As "time" goes by the weights lower. You should have different counterweights for the clock, chimes, dancing figures and whatever else it may have. All the weights move at different "speeds" so you have to keep an eye on them to make sure it keeps correct time. I would recommend consulting the manufacturer if possible. There are so many kinds out there is really hard to tell by such a short video.

Ridgeway grandfather clock chimes the hour some hours and not others.What can be done?

This kind of repair requires a specialist that really knows his clocks, if it's a mechanical clock. If it's not mechanical, then you either live with it, or replace the mechanism.

Howard miller grandfather clock gongs one beat short. ie 11 when it should be 12

Try removing the hour and minute hands from the clock and placing them back on at the time the grandfather clock gongs at that time. i,e., if the clocks gongs at 2:00pm replace the hands in the 2:00pm location and then manually rotate the hands around to set the correct time. From there on forward the clock should keep the correct and gong at the appropriate time.

Need setting instructions for clock movement

Howard Miller offers this feature: This is how it works.

Automatic Night-Time Silencing Option
Grandfather Clocks will offer a night time shutoff option. There are 3 options on this lever.
1) "Night On" - This will keep the chime striking 24 hours
2) "Night Off" - This position will turn off the chiming between 10:15PM and 7:00AM
3) "Strike" - This position will allow the movement to strike the hour without the Westminster melody if the other Westminster melody lever is turned to Silent.

Hope this helps.

I inherited a grandfather clock which runs slow

You have to adjust the bob on pendulum. If the clock is slow, the bob on the rod must be pushed up. If the clock is fast, the bob must be pushed down. Do adjustments bit by bit, day by day till the clock is keeping time. If all this does not work, you may need to replace suspension spring (if there is any). If there are no suspension spring, the clock may need proffessional attention.
