OK,
Have a wall clock, two weights on chains one for running clock and one for chime.
Pendulum arm about 20” long.
Clock was working fine, took it off wall and removed pendulum to paint the wall.
Gently slid arm off the small mechanism with a flat spring.
Put it back on the wall, and the pendulum stops after a few minutes, it just swings slower and slower until it stops.
The clock tilts forward at top due to hook on wall, have packed a bit of folded tissue under bottom edge to sit it more perpendicular to the wall. Have tilted it side to side in both directions as well but it still will not run.
Have took it off wall gently blown out any dust but not really seen any dust inside, put small drop of clock oil with a needle on shaft ends, put it back up but no luck.
The small flat spring where pendulum connects to does not look as if it has any cracks.
Know nothing about clocks so trying for any suggestins here.
Thanks
