Hi all,
So I picked up an octagon schoolhouse/regulator clock a while back at auction, and I swear it had the pendulum bob and key when I bought it. A month or 2 later when I get into it, they are missing. So, the key is a standard #6, nothing special there, but I don't know what I can do for a pendulum bob. I've put on some plain types from mantles, and they all make the clock run too slow. Pictures of other similar clocks show a plain brass bob with an adjustment nut.
I'm wondering if I need a lighter bob or if there's something inside (I've not opened it up, as it runs, just slow) I need to look into?
