Installing this mechanism was a first for me. The clock is not antique or valuable, but was an anniversary gift from my husband over 40 years ago so means a lot to me. The installation was easy, just follow the instructions. As others have written, the fiddlely part was syncing the chime to the clock mechanism. I followed the instructions through setting the clock to chime 6:00. After that I was lost. After several tries, I decided to set the current time the way I had with the old mechanism. From the front, I manually moved the minute hand clockwise around the face, stopping at 12 each time to allow the chime to run through entire song and hour count. It was 5:04 pm so I stopped for the five count, then moved minute hand so clock read 5:04. I used the Westminster chimes that sounds only on the hour. Sound is better than I expected Time and chimes are accurate so far, and it’s nice to have my old clock working again!

Easy install in Regulator clock. Works well and chimes sound really good! Nice to not have to wind clock all the time and to be able to have chimes stop from after 10 until 6 am.

While the clock parts do work and have a lovely sound, it doesn't work for fixing my 24" wall mount westminster chime clock. It will give multiple chime options and will either chime on the hour or every quarter hour (which can be a bit much). The regulator pendulum that came with the kit was too small and the one that is original to my clock is apparently too heavy as the motorized components aren't strong enough to swing it. After 24 hours, we realized it didn't keep time. I don't think this was a component problem as much as it was my purchase of too small of a kit for my clock. I messed it up, so I won't be returning it. This review isn't intended to be negative to the seller, just to help buyers know that the size matters and it won't work for this large a clock.

I purchased this clock movement with trepidation - I didn't want a cheesy sounding chime, but then what are you going to do? There isn't a lot of choice in this department. And when it arrived, the little (cheap-looking) speaker didn't help my concern, either. Moving on, it takes 3 AA batteries to run this clock, one for the movement itself, and two for the chimes.Assembly went quickly and when I first heard the chimes, I was amazed at the sound quality, not to mention the available sound volume. This little speaker sounds a very good version of the Westminster chimes and three other chimes, selectable by a switch. I must say that they must be driving the heck out of the little tiny speaker because it can be heard all over the house when set at full volume. Happily, the chime module has a volume control which is actually needed in a small room.So what's there to building this clock? Just attach the hands which you'll have to select from an included selection of them, then connect the (two) blue wires coming from the chimes unit to those coming from the clock movement. Insert all the batteries, hang the movement so the pendulum can swing, and if necessary set it swinging. That's about it...opps, almost forgot...you'll need to choose which chime melody you want it to sound!I give this unit five stars. It comes complete with an assortment of hands and there isn't anything else to buy except a screw to mount it to your clock case or wall, batteries, and whatever you want to do for the clock face. It is otherwise complete. And it's an easy and fun build and would make a good scout project or one to do with your kids! How can you loose?

Jà i commandé un mécanisme deux fois moins cher, mais le mécanisme actionnant le pendule ne fonctionnait pas, après avoir contacté le vendeur, celui-ci mà remboursé et jà i commandé ce mécanisme qui fonctionne à merveille. Livraison le lendemain avec Prime, facile à installer comme mécanisme de remplacement, nùtilise que des batteries au carbone zinc, très précis, très satisfait de cet achat.

Couldn't sync time with chimes, off by 2 minutes. Now the hands quit moving. they are stuck at 6:26 for 3 days now. pendulum still works though. Get what you pay for I guess!!EDIT**I'm a believer in second chances. I ordered and received a second one only because they dropped the price.I followed the directions carefully like I did the first one and it is worse. It chimed 12 minutes before the hour. This product should be taken off the market because they're a POS!!I was going to return it but we can do without the chimes...
