[QUOTE="Roaring20s, post: 10269126, member: 17270"]"...winding it doesn't get the clock going (I think it always relied on the swinging pendulum for that)" If it has been wound recently, then without the pendulum it would tick very quickly. Do not wind it any more. Not having used it in decades also means that the oils have hardened and it will not run or run a bit and stop. The movement needs cleaning. If you only wish to put the pendulum back in place, the 808 raver suggestion is the way to go. [ATTACH=full]514762[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
