    On the hour, this clock plays Westminster chimes (without hour call).
    I'm not sure when this clock was made, but how aged it looks, it looks vintage.
    It takes 4 AA batteries (2 for the movement, 2 for the chime).

      I have 4 or 5 of these clocks. Most are plastic, all chime. Found them all here and there at the Goodwill Stores. $1.99, $2.99 - I have 70 clocks, all different kinds, 14 of them chime, sounds like church starting at 12:00! I've learned how to fix them by tinkering around. Some are tricky but it's fun and rewarding when you figure out "what makes them tick" and chime. ♡

    Sorry but this is not a "regulator" in the true meaning of the term.Such things are driven by weights, have metre long pendulums either in wood or with devices to compensate for variations in temperature. They should have escapements of the "dead beat" pattern and be completely lacking in bells and chimes. The name sounds good and has been used as an encouragement for people to buy timepieces but the real thing is rare, collectable and expensive.

    This is my favorite Quartz regulator besides it uses the overused old wesminster chime

    Even though this clock does not strike the hour, it has a very nice sound!
    Plus, for your consideration, there are actually lyrics for this chime tune and they are below.
    Lord, through this hour,
    be Thou our guide.
    So, by Thy power,
    no foot shall slide.

    Is it triple a batteries? Or doble a batteries.

    • @CarolineCunningham1998
      @CarolineCunningham1998  2 года назад +2

      It takes three AA batteries. I usually only make the time and pendulum run but not the sound since it doesn’t shut off at night. (Maybe 2 out of 3 batteries inserted)

    any clocks that plays westminster chimes and runs off battery are not vintage, anything that runs by springs and weights are vintage, i seen some mantle clocks that are electric that has chime rods and plays the westminster chimes and counts the hours are vintage but rare

    • @CarolineCunningham1998
      @CarolineCunningham1998  6 лет назад +1

      SpiritsoftheWolf Yeah, but if the clock is 20+ years old, it can be considered vintage.

    • @noahbones1221
      @noahbones1221 6 лет назад +1

      You are incorrect. They Still Make Wound clocks and weight driven clocks.
      And they have made battery westminster clocks for a very long time now. since like the 90s. making them old enough to be vintage.
      although battery clocks go back atleast 30 years

      @Blur Wolf Animations ! "Antique", by definition, is over 100 years old. An overused word like "regulator"
