Grandfather Clock

[Vinny]

Well the new pendulum bob showed up, I put it on and the clock ran slow. REAL SLOW. So I pulled it all off and compared the two bobs and the new one is 240 grams heavier. I tried removing some metal from the back but it's still 100 grams too heavy. So the old one is back on. I'm currently waiting for the wrap, the paint didn't look that great. Also after cleaning and inspecting and testing, there are bushings that will have to be replaced. In the manual it said it was serviced in 1991. I'm thinking it wasn't serviced since then. I have a couple of leads on some used ones that I can tear down, go thru, replace bushings as necessary and reassemble. Then I'll swap it out and go thru this one.
