What should I consider when choosing grandfather clocks?

Although Ava above makes some good points, the number one consideration is how you want it to operate. At the heart of every floor clock is the movement. It controls the hour strike, time keeping and the chime. The pendulum and weights are critical components to the operation of the clock movement.

The question becomes how you want the clock configured based on your knowledge of yourself. Will you remember to pull the chains every 7 days? Do you want a cable with pulley system or a chain driven system. Do you want an automatic nightime chime shut off? Do you want more than one chime selection? What extra features would you like, illuminated face or moon dial as examples?

a friend has a mantle clock w/Towles on the front & thinks she may be related?

Some infoirmation is below.

My grandmother has an old grandfather clock (an electric one however) and she beleives the motor of it broke and doesn’t function anymore. Where would I get info about finding a new motor, or replacing it? Would using the motor of another clock work?

Hello Coelha:

In theory, yes, the motor should be replaceable. If you have any mechanical skill, you might be able to do so yourself.

Open the cabinet of the clock. find the motor and see if there is any information. To replace the motor, you will need to know the make and model. The voltage, direction of rotation, shaft size, horsepower will help find a replacement if you can’t find an exact replacement.

If an exact replacement cannot be found, you may end up replacing the entire movement. This may be more expensive, but less frustrating than replacing the motor.

A motor from another clock may work, if you can match up the power, rotation, speed and shaft size.

Best of luck!

WILL SHIP A mantle clock BUT HAS TO TURN IT OFF before putting in a box.

Remove the battery….DUH!!!
