Review on ⏰ Enhance Your Timepiece with the Original Youngtown 12888 Chime Pendulum Clock Movement - 2 Sets of Hands Included! by Robert Weeks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sounds great, instructions are unintuitive

Really very good sound for the $. Sounds like a sampled call, not digital synthesis. It also has 4 different alternative ringtone settings. Like most others, I had a hard time setting the call time. After reading the instructions several times, I realized that I had misinterpreted "set the hands to the correct time". I recommend the following: 1) Install the prime mover WITHOUT the hands 2) Turn the dial counter-clockwise until you hear/feel a click (it's 6am) 3) Now set the hands to 6 o'clock (pay attention that the second hand is spaced from the minute hand so it doesn't get stuck when turning) 4) Insert the batteries and press the bell button 5) Turn the dial anti-clockwise to the current time

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
