the clock you guys have, just needs 8 new rods, it's chimes are westminster, whittington, and st michael, by the sound of it, there is only 1 note that's out of tune, and it's possible, with new rods, you could fix it I collect clocks and have a kean ear for chime melodies. if you were in the UK, I would gladly salvage it and make it run again, it wouldn't take a lot.
a clock like that, would get a good home in my collection, I have a lot that started out sounding crappy, but I've fixed them up, usually it's just the hammers that need adjusting, and possibly new rods, it sounds like what's happening, the rods are being mutied by the hammers not bouncing far enough up after striking it also sounds like the second to lowest note is being hit instead of the lowest one, giving that double note thing in places, the clock is in the F major scale, good luck!

It kind of sounds like Balinese gamelan! Too funny.

I could fix that clock in one afternoon. The hammers have been bent at some time.
