<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roaring20s, post: 12324469, member: 17270&quot;]Unless something catastrophic happened, it&#039;s likely very simple problem. You took care when you transported it and would have heard something happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>You mentioned that the clock does not tick, even without the pendulum in place. That is odd. It should be ticking very fast without it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just asking, did you or the place that fumbled with it overwind it? That being jammed could be one issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>If that is not the issue, maybe a bit of grit, dust or a hair is now obstructing it movement?</p><p><br /></p><p>If it has not been serviced in years, the oil can get thick around the pivot points and removing it for the wall has caused some of that gunk to enter those connections.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you open the back of the clock, the first thing to look at is the part that the pendulum hangs on. Is it struck? If it is, gently, see why and free it if you can.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look for a hair or anything that could be restrictive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Each of the gears are mounted on rods that connect to the case. These rods will have a little free play in them. Grab each gear with you thumb and finger, and gently move each side to side. This action may free up a gummy pivot point.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it will not tick without the pendulum attached, you&#039;ll need more help that can be typed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
