Blwyddyn Newydd Dda, I have been asked to look at a Smiths 8 day K6A 541 clock which has an out of sequence chime and other problems. I know a bit about watch movements but clocks are new to me so I am a novice in this regard so would be grateful for any assistance, guidance or suggestions of where to find a manual etc. OK so the issues I see are as follows: 1. Chimes are out of sequence and appear to keep losing sequence (I think, unless its something I am introducing). 2. Chimes seem to only partially complete with other sections of the chimes completing on later quarters. 3. It is not a bad time keeper but needs correcting say 2 to 3 minutes every 24 hours or so. (I figure this is the pendulum screw needs adjusting and possibly a little oil here and there?) 4. There are three winding holes on the front. I Guess the middle is the actual clock and the other two are chimes and strike but which is which? The two chimes/strike winders seem to have very little movement or are stiff, is this normal? Thank you in advance. I can also be emailed directly at *****@*****.tld if anyone has copies of manuals etc.
