Reset you're striking hammer so that it sounds right when it hits the gong.

Thanks a lot. I had a sessions mantle clock that I only wound the mainspring and I didn’t realize it would get out of sync. This worked very well.

Thanks so much for your help. Excellent!!

Keeping the clock and strike / chime trains wound has nothing to do with this problem of striking the wrong hour. One thing has nothing to do with the other. With clocks that have both chimes and strikes both functions stop if the chime train runs down since it triggers the strike. With those clocks the wrong hour won't be struck, but rather the hour will be struck at the wrong quarter of the hour since the chime train is out of sync and it triggers the strike train. The problem with this clock was that the hour hand was in the wrong position relative to the snail which is human installation error. Rotating the hour hand from 6 to 7 moved the hour hand on the snail to where it should have been. A little theory: The snail is a cam with 12 declining steps on it. It somewhat resembles the shell of a snail. The snail is fixed solid on the hour shaft. When the strike train is started at the top of the hour the rack positioning lever is dropped onto the snail setting the chiming rack for the number of strikes for the current hour. As the clock chimes the gathering pallet turns moving the rack to closer to it's finishing position when the strikes for the hour are completed. The more hours that pass as you get closer to twelve, the lower on the snail the rack positioning lever falls causing the rack to have to travel farther. This clock doesn't have a chime train so you don't have 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and on the hour chiming. That can get out of sync if the chime train happens to wind down but the clock keeps running. Most clocks have some form of internal chime train correction which will usually engage at the 3/4 hour mark by itself. In the case of those movements just wind it up and let it run. It will correct itself.

Straight forward simple to follow instructions. Thank you

I bought a Takeda clock and had it shipped directly to my parents in 1970 while I was in Vietnam. After they passed away. I inherited the clock. After being stored for a few years, I decided to hang it on a wall in my home, and discovered it would strike as if the time was six hours ahead of the displayed time. I'm going to try your technique, carefully winding the hour hand six hours ahead and post an update to this comment.

My Howard miller clock chimes very random amounts on a certain hour and never does the amount it’s supposed to. Any advice?

Going to try this later today , hope it works
