First it rang a little early, then the clock repair guy turned a screw in its belly in order to make it ring on time, now I notice this…It is a Seth Thomas 1502 if that helps any. I have another one similar to it but with different "guts".
Your chime timing is out of sync with the main movement. Perhaps the screw was turned a little far in the wrong direction. Take it back to the repair guy. It sounds like he made a simple mistake.

This is a recording of my Seth Thomas Sonora Chime Clock, chiming the half hour. It plays Westminster on 4 rods.
Sorry if the video is dark, my camera works better outdoors with more light.
To hear the full hour chime, visit my website, and go to the Seth Thomas Sonora page.

First, never, never turn the hands anti clockwise to adjust the time. Start by turning the minute hand forward to the 12 until the clock strikes the hour, take it very slowly for the last 5 minute interval leading up to the 12, make a mental note on how many times the chimes strike. Now you need to move the hour hand to coincide with the chimes, ie if the chimes struck 5 then move the hour hand to 5. The clock should now say 5 o’clock. To test now move the minute hand forward 55 minutes to 5 to 6. This will let the clock set its mechanism up to strike 6 o’clock. Let the clock run to 6 o’clock and see that the chimes match the time. You must also pause at each half hour interval and let the clock strike the half hour or you can put the chimes out of sinc and you will find the clock striking the hour at the half hour interval. If this does not work then it starts to get a bit technical….Ian
