It's presumably on the to-do list somewhere. G might have in mind converting it to electrical operation once the dynamo room is up and running.

(Canonically, sources indicate that it does work, but only chimes at night; but then, that version of the mansion hasn't been all-but-abandoned for 150 years, so it probably is safe to assume that in GG it has long since stopped.)
