@@KevinLyons-gn7eu It Wasn't Overwound, The Strike Latch Was Stuck In The Release Position And That's What Caused It To End Up In The Endless Loop I'm Pretty Sure A Doce Of Oil And Some Adjusting Is What Fixes It (That's What I Did When My Cuckoo Clock Had The Same Issue)
Sounds like the lifter is not dropping as it should thus the rack and snail (the counting mechanism) is unable to lock the striking mechanism. Probably some gummed up old oil on the lifter. That part should not be oiled. I imagine a cleaning and re oiling of the rest of the movement will fix that.
What a funny video. Those 2 high school girls had to figure out how to fix the chimes on their grandma's clock by moving the hands and shutting off the chimes.
That turning thing that moves left to right is called a pendulum it is where it connects to the escapement which moves the hand And if this happens go th the back of the clock and open the hatch And there should be a lead with a plastic ring tied pull it and call a repairman
The owner repaired it so probably the only way to repair it is oiling the gears @@KevinLyons-gn7eu because if it doesn't get a repair then it can either rust away
When i got my first clock, I wanted yo listen to the chime and i turned the minute hand. It displayed 10 o'clock and striked 37 time. I will try to explain the problem in a nutshell: A semi circle drop and will come back up with the strikes. The semi circle is hold by a pin wich lock it so it doesn't fall down immediately and it appears the pin got stuck by dust or something else. The problem can (normally) be fixed by turning the minute hand to the next hour. And also a quick information, NEVER TURN THE HANDS CONTER CLOCKWISE !!! This can force or break the conting pieces and your problem could be persistent and fixing it can be very expensive.
ima guess the next time it chimed at 1:15 it would have had the half past chime (2 verses of westminster chime) then would continue to strike and strike and strike
Clock reparist here, There is a lever that activates the wheights. Maybe make sure it’s not up or make sure … you just kinda made it worse. Make sure the worm gear is correct and the snail.
@@Zyphen4866 It has nothing to do with servicing and oiling. There is a small pin that stops the chimes and strike after they have completed for the given hour. That pin has broken, which is very common. Eventually it wears out but it is a simple and inexpensive repair by a technician. This is the cause of chimes "running away" as you put it.
