Question
hello i recently purchased a used clock,very new but been in dry perfect storage for ten years.it has had all weights and pendulum removed and packed away. i have no idea how to reassemble, do not want to attempt without correct info. can you help tell me what to look for and advise.  any help appreciated... thanks

Answer
I can walk you through the process but would like some photos to go by. There are a lot of different configurations and I don't know how the clock was packed up.
I need to see the parts that the pendulum hangs from and the chains or cable pulleys that the weights hang from.
Can you send me photos?
