Question
I have a Tempus Fugit grandfather clock movement.  The pendulum stops after appx two minutes.  The clock was level when it stopped working. Since then I've tried different adjustments but still does not help. I've had the clock since the 60's and had it "serviced" within the last 15 years.  Any advise as to what I can do without sending it out for repair.

Thanks,
Dick  

Answer
I need more information if I am to assist you.  To provide this needed information you will need to have access to the clocks movement.  On the movements backplate you will find information stamped thereon.  Copy down and send me all that information, it will allow me to identify the maker and model of the movement.  Tempus Fugit is simply a dial style and has nothing to do with the clock itself.  Tempus Fugit is a latin phrase meaning Time Flys.  Regards WJP
