Question
Mr Saunders,

My father recently passed away and I received a mantle clock with a 83 Franz Hermle Two Jewel 1050-020 unajusted movement.  Unfortunately there was no documentation / manual.  The clock runs fast but I have not be able to determine how to adjust it.  Could you help with this or perhaps direct me to someone who could.  

Thank you

Answer
In the back there is a silver wheel that oscillates back and forth. Hold the rim of the wheel still with your thumb and with the tip of a ballpoint pen, move one of the spokes of the 3 spoked finger on the top side of the wheel to the left to slow it down---trial and error to get it right.
