Hi Les,
Nice clean looking tambour case.
I noticed that you don’t have the pendulum leader hanging from the suspension spring. Also noticed in the pics from your previous post that the suspension spring is missing the small post that goes through it to hang the pendulum leader from. May be the wrong spring. If you don’t have an assortment of suspension springs yet you may want to grab one as you will go through them quite often. Anyway you could press a small pin through the spring chock to give the pendulum something to hang from to try it out.
The clock will need a good cleaning and oiling soon even if it runs ok…but might take off for now when you get that pendulum on there correctly.

I’ll post again in a few of hours on this topic…got to run for a bit right now.
