<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Frank, post: 13060274, member: 5421&quot;]I&#039;ve got a tall case clock that my father bought about 1960. I think it was made about 1900. I love the ticking and the chimes.</p><p><br /></p><p>It hasn&#039;t been serviced since I inherited it, and not for at least 20 years before that. It stayed at a friend&#039;s house while we built, and he couldn&#039;t keep it running. Since I got it back, though, it&#039;s done pretty good. The moon face hasn&#039;t worked since my dad bought it, but (for no reason that I know) it works about half the time now. I&#039;ve got the pendulum adjusted to a regular beat. Over a one-week period, it drops about 5 minutes, but there after keeps good time. We just accept that it&#039;s always 5 minutes behind, but hell, it&#039;s a lot older than I am, and if it wants to be 5 minutes late, I don&#039;t mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
