Advice on Hermle (451) clock please (DIY fix)
-
03-02-2019 5:57pm#1Can anyone advise me on this please, or point me in a direction of where I might get an an answer.
We have a Hermle longcase clock that has been in the family since it was bought
and it has been moved a few times (longcase, Westminster chimes, mid 1970s, 451 - 053 type).
I was lifting the weights and one of them struck the bottom of the pendulum, and the pendulum was lifted a popped off.
It has gone only a few tics since so I though something might have been upset and I took off the back.
The position of 'the bit of metal' that the pendulum hangs from looks odd. I hope these pics explain.
This below is the position I presume it was on the clock. However, you will see that it has two 'hooks' on top, and there are 'prongs' above, which seem to be a 'fit' for the same hooks.
.
.
However, if I attach it to those hooks, it doesn't hang vertically - it 'points backwards' and sticks into the chimes.
.
.
However (again!), the hooks seem hinged to the bar, so that it could potentially drop vertically. But this is stiff and I didn't try to force it, so I presume it was straight all these years back.
The plate on which the prongs are attached is adjustable also.
Any advice appreciated.
[Since posting this originally I came across this pic on the web which seem to show that the original position is the correct one
