Question
I have an emperor clock co. Model 101 that has the
chains pulled up so high that one end is all the way to
the gears and the other is just bellow that. How can I
get them back down?

Answer
if you can hook an S shaped wire into the end(like a large opened paperclip) then hook the weight to it and run the clock for a few days. if not you need a pro.

if you get it going - always pull the weight chain with only one hand and leave the weight alone.
