it gains 1 min/hour .
It has IC PCF1175CT and quartz, but no correction trimmer.
I have heard that one can solder two insulted wires in parallel of the quartz and they are twisted to adjust the gain.
Is this true? How thick the wires should be ?
Please help.

We use a 4.194304MHz crystal, how should we do? Do we use a wrong crystal?

Check it's frequency with a freq counter, it is usually stamped on the can.
It may have drifted or the variable capacitor is faulty.

Crystals are cheap to get and under US$ 4.
