I have an Elgin anniversary clock (battery operated) with no manual. How do I set the chimes to match the clock? It has a red button and a black button on the rear of the clock. The black button beeps when you push it.

    I have the same problem. I hope someone answers this some day. Mine also has a revolving pendulum which only spins for a while if I twist it. It's looks like an Atmose type pendulum.

There are two steps to setting the chimes, although I am really not sure if step two is needed. Here is how I set mine:

When I set mine, the time was 9:31 a.m.

Step 1- Press the red button (H) 9 times.
Step 2- Press the black button (M) 31 times.

    I have the solution. set the clock hands, using the little wheel on the back, moving the hands clockwise, to 4 or 5 minutes before any hour. Put the battery in and let the clock run till it chimes at the hour. Count the chimes. Let's say you set it to chime at 10:00. If it chimes six times push the BLACK button 4 times. Be sure it beeps each time you push it. As soon as you finish pushing the Black button the correct number of times then push the RED button once. Now set the clock using the wheel and turning the hands clockwise, to the correct time. Place the dome back on and enjoy. You can leave the battery in during all this setting procedure.

The chimes will not chime on the quarter hour and half hour - just the full hours. This happened after we set the clock back for daylight saving time. How can I correct this?

The clock probably thinks its night / early morning so it stopped chiming on the quarter hour. Move the clock forward 12 hours. It should correct itself to think its day time instead of morning.

I have an elgin anniversary clock that I cannot restart after replacing the batery. It has two buttons in the back, one red and one black. How do I restart the clock?

Usually the problem is a bad batch of batteries. Try taking one from something that is working and see if that is the case.
