I acquired my grandparents clock from my 83 yr old aunt. Hung clock reinstalled pendulum, seemed to run great. When I tried to wind clock after it stopped (approximately 5 days). I couldn't get the clock to continue to run. Thought I overwound the springs. I cycled the quarter hour, half-hour , 3.4 hour and hour to let it strike. I did this several times and finally seemed to get it running again. I assume this clock has an 8 day movement. What is the proper way to wind it. How many turns before it's fully wound. any help is greatly appreciated. I have been told my grandparents bought this clock for their new home in 1958 when I was two years old. The clock has white markings on back 27/01 53 and 61011 . I don't have any paperwork or information on operation or care of this clock. I have been told it could be wound for chime and hour striking or for each one individually. Thanks in advance for any help. Ben

sounds like the clock needs a cleaning.

Ben clocks cannot be overwound.
As said this clock stopped running as most likely needs a clean and oil.
