Day Mantel
1865 new haven unbria mantel clock chimes incorrect.?
Hello, I have a 1865 New Haven Unbria 8 day mantel clock. I set up the chimes so it does 4 chimes at 4 o’clock and it will work for 2 days and then the chimes will be out. It doesn’t all ways happen after 2 days, sometimes it will happen after 1 day or 2 weeks. Does anyone know what is coursing this? It also chimes at 27min past instead of half past. It is correct on the hour so it has me stumped. One last thing, It will keep perfect time for 2 weeks and then it will be running fast or running slow and I have to get it perfect again, and then 2 or so weeks later it will be out again. Any help would be great.
Thanks a lot.
OK – a few things to understand:
a) These clocks use brass plates, brass wheels (gears) brass bearings and small hardened steel pins as the shafts in those bearings. Brass is somewhat self-lubricating, but steel is not. So, you have to oil these clocks at least every five years or so – or the bearings will start to bind and eventually wear out. Unless you are quite handy at this sort of thing and know how to remove the works from the case and do the cleaning and lubricating properly, the best thing you can do is a simple oiling. Use a needle-point oiler with a light-weight PTFE (Teflon) based oil. One tiny drop per bearing.
b) The chime mechanism operates independently of the time-keeping mechanism. So, if the chime mechanism is stopped or winds down, the strike and the hour count will no longer be syncrhonized. Also, the chime mechanism is regulated by a Butterfly Wheel – which often binds if the bearing is dirty.
c) Time-keeping is regulated by the pendulum – mostly. Timekeeping can be compromised in the same way with the clock running slow (very seldom fast) as a result.
Ideally, you will remove the works from the clock, clean them using a good clock cleaning solution (you do not have to take the works apart), re-lubricate all the bearings and pivots, and then reinstall and re-regulate the pendulum for time. Syncrhonizing the strike to the time is easy – you can flip the release-lever to get the hour/half correct, then you can simply slide the hour-hand on the barrel to the correct alignment.
I did all our mechanical clocks last year (5) – from start to finish it took about 4 hours as re-regulating was not really necessary, they were keeping good time already.
But the immediate key is lubrication. Eventually you _will_ have to clean them, however or you will start to lose bearings and/or pivots, and that gets expensive to repair.
