Grandfather clock not working?

Dec 19, 2009 by Robert B | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

We have an old British antique grandfather pendulum clock dated 1938. I understand the order in which the weights are ordered but when they are set on and the pendulum is swung the pendulum only swings for about 10 or 15 minutes. Could someone remedy and should I get it looked at by a professional?
It also has marked on the mechanism base - '999 'M 'W or else it is M, W, 666, what does that mean.

I would find someone who is over-friendly with pendulum clocks and have them fix it. They are more complicated than the average individual is equipped to deal with.

Get a floor and shim that clock up to where it is completely level and it will stay running.

According to this site, don't bother with a level.

If it is like a Coo-Coo clock, it needs to be accurately level. I know my Coo-Coo clock won't run but for a few minutes if it isn't exact level. Not for sure about the grandfather clock. Seems it would need to be level to or it would not consideration the pendulum to swing correctly. If leveling it doesn't work you will probably need to contact someone who works on clocks and have them take a look at it. If you have it scene by a door the opening and closing might be causing it to be out of level if leveling it makes it work. Good fortunes with it, they are a neat clock.
