I'm trying to get a balance spring Mantel clock to run to time - even with the regulator set to Slow it's gaining 40mins a day (the balance spring was damaged on receipt so it may be shorter than it should be - can't think why else it should run fast, especially as it is quite dirty & apparently hasn't been working for some time.). Anyway, looking closely at the train I've noticed the pre-escapement wheel is slightly 'dished'. Could this have been done by a previous tinkerer to get around a problem that should have been addressed by e.g. bushing pivot holes? -
