Bryan asked:
I have a quartz movement wall clock that my mother has owned forever. The face has arabic numerals & The only words are “Linden” above the center, and “Chime” below it. It looks similar to a Howard Miller Elliott wall clock. The clock works & will chime, but it’s supposed to chime once on the half hour – instead, it chimes for the hour. For instance – it will chime 7 times at 7:30, 8 times at 8:30, etc. rather than the one time it is supposed to. It’s already ben to a jeweler, and he was incapable of fixing it. Is there an easy way to fix this? Failing that, how do I tell who made the movement & where I can get a new one?
Addendum – the clock chimes correctly on the hour – it will chime 7 times at 7 o’clock. When the clock reaches 7:30, though, it will chime 7 times AGAIN. 8:00, 8 times. 8:30, 8 times, etc. It’s only supposed to chime once on the half hour.
