Sorry for the slow rely.
Will have to tear it out of the case to see if there is a manufacturer on it. After thirty years I sure don't remember. It has the three different chimes, cable driven with three weights as you said. I built the case from scratch loosely using a set of plans to get the case size correct to fit the movement and pendulum swing. It stands about 7 feet tall so guess it falls into the grandfather category. Used the same movement with a smaller pendulum to build a grandmother clock for the inlaws probably 20 or so years ago. Murray Clock Craft out of Toronto sold the movements back then, they still do but the price hasn't changed much so I expect these are now of an oriental flavour.
Had optimistically hoped an oiling would suffice. You may have bitten off more than you wanted offering to guide me through a rebuild if thats what it needs. Would like to get it chiming again, funny I never notice it when it was running but the silence now is defening.
May be a while till I can get at it but its on the list.
Thanks again,
Greg

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
