I have an antique mantle clock with a loose hour hand which sometimes unexpectedly drops. How can I fix this?
Dixie B asked:
The hour hand usually drops at about the 2 or 3 o’clock position. It’s usually o.k. until I try to wind the clock. Then the little vibrations, or whatever, will cause the hand to drop, sometimes all the way down to the 6! If anyone has any knowledge of this sort of thing, I certainly would appreciate some pointers.
