Grandfather clock moon dial not working.
Another late dial from the end of the grandfather clock production days.
Very typical of the late dials except for the center seconds and use of minute numbers.
Look inside at the back side of the dial to locate the click spring.
Grandfather clocks are actually very durable.
The clock movement is new.
Circa 1860 to 1870.
Many of the older grandfather clocks or english tall case clocks as many people called them had a painting on the dial along side of the moons each dial has 2 moons to keep the calendar accurate.
Place your pointer finger on the tip of the click spring.
These may be used as seconds here.
The moon dial on my howard miller grandfather clock will not advance.
Make sure the clock hands are not touching the glass.

To repair bend the minute hand towards the dial and away from the glass.
When the grandfather clock is not working after a move there are a few problems to look for that can be easily fixed.
Repair shop said everything was working properly when they tested and set it.
Open the door on the side or remove the panel from the back access section.
Repair the moon dial if it is not working correctly.
Advance the clock twelve hours to make sure the minute hand does not catch on the hour hand.
The strike is what calls out the hours after it is done with the chime song.
The moon dial or lunar phase dial is not of any practical use to most of us in our modern times.
