Want this question answered?
Just bought a used Daniel Dakota Westminister wall clock and it does not chime.
I have a Daniel Dakota westminster chime that chimes only during daylight hours. Original instructions said to set clock to 6:15 p.m. before inserting batteries (hard to tell which is pm or am.) I set the clock to 6:15 and insert the batteries. Then begin to turn the clock to set the correct time. If you clock has chime courtesy, when it reaches the evening and night hours, it will stop chiming on the hour, and will click instead. If you are setting the clock to a daylight hour when it should chime, then stop on the correct time while it is chiming. If it is an evening or night time, then set the correct time when the clock is setting. The worst case scenario is, if the clock is silent during the day, and chiming during the night, advance the time by 12 hours to reach the correct setting.
a daniel dakota battery grand fathers clock , what is the value of such
It depends on the clock; None of my clocks chime even once. A clock that rings the quarter hours (like the clock in the Palace of Westminster - aka, Big Ben) would chime 96 times per 24 hours. Some clocks only chime on the hours, which would be 24 chimes/day.
More than it was bought for
no
I would call a jeweler or clock repair shop. They should know.

I have a Walthram 31 day chime clock and on of the weights fell to the bottom of the clock. How do I fix it and why did it fall?
move the hands backwards or fowards. If you have the little hand on the hour and the big hand on the 3, 6, 9, or 12, it will play Westminster chimes and then strike the number of hours.
You're probably thinking of the Great Clock of the Palace of Westminster, which is in the Clock Tower (recently re-named "Elizabeth Tower"). This clock is often, but incorrectly, called "Big Ben". In fact Big Ben is the largest of the bells in the Clock Tower at the Palace of Westminster.
