Hi
I'm a newbie so some of my terminology may be incorrect. I inherited my Dad's 1970s German Kieninger Grandfather clock. Since moving it to our house I haven't been able to keep it going. I have (I think) established that it has something to do with the crutch. The tic toc is uneven and goes tic toc -- tic toc. When I tilt the long case around 2 degrees off level to my right it corrects the beat. I noticed the crutch has an adjustment screw which I'm guessing is how I'm supposed to correct the problem instead of bending the crutch. However, the adjustment is on full and can't be adjusted any further. If I try adjusting in the other direction the beat gets worse. I would prefer to find a way to fix this that doesn't require me to have the long case at a permanent tilt. Any help is appreciated.
