Another long case clock

I have been asked to look at this long case clock apparently it has just stopped. The guy who services this clock + others has retired. I have explained I can look BUT my work shop is just to small to take on this but it will be interesting to see if I can identify the issue. 499671809_LongCaseClock.thumb.jpg.9ae3e407368c2425754cefffa63b41bc.jpg

You don't need to hang the movement 7 foot off the ground just 4 foot is plenty as this would give you about 4 days of running time, then just wind it up again for another 4 days. The movements are simple so you should be able to ID the issue.

Ok I will be looking at it next week. I am hoping the hood it removable so I can see the movement in action. This clock is a family heirloom the guy who owns it tells be it was made in 1790. So I will have to be real careful to say the least.
