Ok!!!! My husband who passed away May 4, 2024......finally has my clock with a pendulum working.

I knew he was getting kinda bad with him setting this clock he bought for us nearly 45 years ago. Love the clock, kinda modern but rather simple in design. But EVERY Spring and Fall when he’d have to change the time due to daylight savings it was getting harder and harder because his changed brain would have trouble with it. So now, last Fall, this Spring, and now this Fall I had to change the clock. So here it is November, 29, like 4 weeks after having to change the clock for the Fall behind time, IT’s FINALLY WORKING BECAUSE I YELLED AT ROGER, (my husband), PLEASE LET THIS BE THE LAST TIME I HAVE TO TRY TO GET THE DAMN PENDULUM WORKING!!!! It’s working!!!!! Finally after yelling, and dare I say almost swearing, “please honey, please let this damn pendulum keep swinging”. AND IT HASN’T STOPPED SINCE I YELLED THAT. And I miss him so bad…….. but at least he can hear me.
