The thing with quartz watches is the hands are much less roust and of lower mass than mechanical watches. The tube of the hand could be closed a little if you have the correct punches for a staking set or horia tool, otherwise it would be finding new hands. Tom

Not a clock guy but have had a poke around a grandfather clock. First place I would look is the drum that the weight cord is wound up to, if the cord is tangled that could be the issue. The cord/gut can also get very hard which if it is tangled would be easier to replace the cord/gut. OldHippy would be the chap to ask. Tom

Thank you very much for the info. I have ordered one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234999222269 It claims to be speed adjustable though by how much I don't yet know. I may have to try a voltage regulator like you did. It may just be cheap rubbish and no good for the intended purpose but on the other hand it might work! We shall see. Thanks again.

No hurry getting into balance hairspring work. It belongs to advanced repair. Nevertheless, the Chronglide videos are helpful (there are several) and here is one for dealing with entangled springs. Best of luck!
