I recognise the pendulum on this one. I've had various clocks with this type of pendulum. It's called Underslung chiming, to allow for a slimmer case. Yip, nicely in tune. That horizontal bar above the hammers is to use for when clock is being transported - don't forget to shove it up again to release the hammers.

Thanks, I forgot it was called underslung. The clock is currently in the queue for fixing because the bezel fell off when I went to change the time on the clock and I still don't know why that happened.

@@BitOutWolf That's something I wouldn't be good at and wish you success with that. Are you thinking about going to the BHI's starter week whereby you take a pendulum-controlled broken timepiece and, by the end of the week, you should end up with a working clock and you'll learn invaluable skills? Okay, not particularly cheap and you may have to live-in, or stay in a B&B nearby, but if you're serious, do consider it. Then if you have an aptitude, you live-in for a whole year, do the course: practical and theory are covered and, if you get a good mark - ideally above 90% for both - you can consider going even further! I think Manchester has a college that has a course for RESTORATION of antique clocks and you're bound to learn some highly valuable skills there. The ultimate, in this country, is West Dean College and, for serious people, it's about £25k for the course and is really meant for those wanting to start up on their own in business.
