<p>[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 9868791, member: 79460"]I picked this up for £3. I saw it as a bit of a restoration project. It's in need of a new piece of glass for the face and a good polish. I thought the curly piece of metal in the back was a broken spring until I realised that it's the chime. I wound it up the other night before I went to bed and set the time. I got up in the morning and it had stopped at 2am. Also the chimes are out of sync. It strikes 9 at 4 o clock, 10 at 5 o clock etc. Anyway I took some photos this morning and went to work. I came home this afternoon and its up and running. Correct time. Weird..</p><p><br /></p><p>Question, how do I synch the chimes with the time please?
