Clocks

Captain Cupcake asked:


It is 20 years old and won’t chime on the hour, but chimes on the 1/4 hour, 1/2 hour and 3/4 hour. When I get it re-synchronized so it rings the 1/4 hour on the 1/4 hour, the half hour on the half hour, etc., it gets off by 1/4 hour again when it won’t chime on the hour. I have oiled it according to directions, have made sure it is level on the floor and done everything else I was supposed to do, which I usually do when the time changes from standard to daylight savings or back. The only thing I can say is that changing it off daylight savings time last weekend messed it up some how. It never had messed it up all the other times in 20 years, so I’m really puzzled as to what to do.
It is an Emperor clock works and they cost more to repair either at the factory or a shop. I asked this question in order to avoid having to pay someone to fix it.

We have a Jaunch 77 Clock movement that requires a 31-1/2″ Pendulum, 4-1/2″ Bob, 7-1/2″ Swing. And it must be a 1 hook.
We bought the movement from an elderly man who built his own grandfather clocks, but is now going blind and had to sell his stuff. Needless to say the movement is brand new, but he purchased it back in 1979 from Emperor Clock Co who is no longer in business. Anyway, we have built the grandfather clock and looks great. However, we do not have the right pendulum for it. Does anyone know where I might find a pendulum that meets the measurements above? I have searched all over the internet and havent had much luck.
Thanks alot.
