I posted about this clock in new purchases but my problems stopped being answered and perhaps this disappeared in everything els in that thread. The problem remains. When the clock was put together and I levelled the case so the pendulum hangs more or less in the middle of the case. But I can’t get it to tick and have to remove the brass end, and now hold the pendulum as far as possible to the left, until the seconds make the tick. I also have a bird on the front that is moving when the pendulum does, and that is from start to the left and not in the middle, indicating the position in wrong.
Is there any other solution then bending the crutch rod? Even if I can’t do that fix myself maybe I need to give this to a shop for fix but it will make the price I payed double or more. If so I need to consider this. I don’t want to bend it until I understand this fully.
I got the advice to hang the pendulum without going through the crutch rod to see if it was in the middle and when not level the case as a first step, and I done this. There is another thing that maybe needs to be corrected as well. As you can see the pendulum feather hangs not optimal because the arm is bent slightly down. Is this something that will matter in this? The feather is not touching the back of the rod any more, as seen on that picture.
