I am in the process of trying to get an old Westminster mantel clock going again.It does run but gains about 10 minutes in 12 hours.
Can anyone point me to to a set of instructions on how to set the pallet up properly, especially the height adjustment as I am finding that it is so critical. Also not sure whether the pallet should be horizontal when the pendulum is stopped. In the position it is in at the moment the clock does seem to be on beat.
So far, on the internet, I have not managed to find a site that goes into enough detail.
