I have a chiming wall clock that rings 11 rings at 12:00 and 12 rings at 1:00..What is its problem?

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.

    Pull off the hour hand and turn it back one hour and push it back on.

    there are two reasons for this
    .
    There is a logical wheel inside the clock movement which maight be dislocated
    .
    or the clock hand might have moved
    .
    turn the clock to 1,count the chime for 12, pull the hour hand and put it all together
    .
    use any tool a (fork)
    to remove the hands,they are very dedicate,they will bend and will look ugly
    .
