Hello, guys. disciple _dan here.
I need a little help with a replacement clock I'm working with. It's a Hermle 451-033 SK. I'm replacing a 451-033H.
Everything looks fine. The clock fits in all of its measurements. The SK has a second-hand arbor but that's not the problem.
When the time weight falls and gets to the pendulum it drags on the weight and stops the clock.
I measured the suspension arm on both old and new and found that the SK was 5 mm shorter than the H. I installed the old one and it helped but the weight is still uncomfortably close to the pendulum. About 2 mm is all.
Anybody ever had a similar problem?
I'm lost for what to do. Should I bend the leader or the pendulum rod?
It's a brand new movement.
Thanks for any help. Danny
