Hi there.......I have a mantel wind up clock which I suspect I have overwound the chime and the wind up sections of the clock.I bought the clock a few years ago and do not know it's history.The wind up section only lasts about 4 days.At present I have turned off the chime section.I would love to have the clock to have a "service" if possible.
Many thanks for your advice.........Gloria Kneebone

Hi Gloria, My name is XXXXX XXXXX it is my pleasure to assist you. You cannot over wind a spring driven clock. This is misinformation that has been handed down through the generations. If you wind a clock completely to the end and it does not work; something else such as wear, dirt, or old sticky oil is preventing the clock from running. It is not because you "over wound" or "wound the clock too tight". If you want I can find a clock repair company in your area just let me know your location and by what major cities and I'll find a few in your area. Thanks Mike
