Question I inhereited an old Hentschel grandfather wall clock from my grandfather. It is a beautiful clock with the moving moon phases. I always remember it running at my grandfathers home when I was a child. It is chain driven with the 3 brass weights. Question: There is only one very long chain..but 3 weights!! Am I missing some chains? Could you direct me to where I would find a manual with diagrams on how to get this old clock going again. I am just unsure how to put the weights on. Thanks for you help.
Answer seems missing 2 chains. Without the chains you cannot put it together-- I suggest you call a pro, they can determine the chains needed and put it together- you cannot do it yourself even if you had the chains if they are not in place where they belong.
