He paid a clock shop that specializes in Godfather clocks to bring it in house andset it up. Although it keeps perfect time it strikes only up to part of the correct strikes.

However the outside weights are frozen in place and the clock doesn't chime. The chime selector will only go down about half way. Is there anything I can do to release the outside weights? The weights are in the proper position. I have a Sligh grandfather clock that keeps perfect time. However the outside weights are frozen in place and the clock doesn’t chime.
