I bought a clock that you wind up and it chimes every hour. I think it may be
defective or need adjusting. It never chimes the same twice in a row. As an
example, my wife and I sat down for lunch. The clock started to chime and
though I did not count, it rang at least 10, maybe twelve times. Sounded
good. An hour later, it rang out only once. Why would that happen?

I probably should look for a pattern, but it seems to randomly change all day,
all night long. Any idea what the problem may be?

12 times at 12:00 , 1 chime at 1:00

The clock is working. Lunch at 10 would be ten chimes, at 12 it would
be 12 chimes. The single chime is for the bottom of the hour. Rather
simple to understand. My Black Forest, German Cuckoo clock does the
same. 1 chime for 1 o'clock AM or PM and bottom of the hour.

I think Bobby is suggesting his clock is chiming four
times for one o'clock, and seven times for twelve.

Sounds like something's outta sync somewhere!

Bobby doesn't have a broken clock, but some here have broken troll detectors.

In the way that 4:00 comes at a different time that 3:00 does.

For no real reason:
