I have a 1983 Kieninger grandfather clock that runs slow even with the adjusting nut all the way in. Can I get a shorter suspension spring? What would you do?
What are the numbers off of the back plate of the clock movement itself? If it is hard to get to, usually you can stick a cell phone up behind the movement and get a picture of the numbers. Or through the side access panel if there is one.
Not off the paper work, not off the wooden case, but the movement stamp itself

I only see a few numbers on the back. I see 83K and 100 CM on the right side of the back plate.
Ok so that is a Kieninger K series made in 1983 with triple / cable / 100cm as we offer at this link

Is this a wood stick pendulum or metal lyre style? How wide is the bob? How long is the pendulum from tip to tip when off the clock? How long is the pendulum leader / hanger that the pendulum hangs on from tip to tip as if it was off the clock ?

Sorry for the delay. I have a metal lyre pendulum that is 38 inches long. The bob is 10 5/8 inches and the leader is 8 1/4 inches long. Merry Christmas.
Leader is not stock to Kieninger. 7″ is stock. Sounds like the wrong set up both with leader / pendulum over all.
I have written down the pendulum should be 39 1/2 with a 7 leader. = 46 1/2 plus suspension at 3/4 inch. Totaling 47 1/2 is what I come up with.
You have 38 pend, 8 1/4 leader, 3/4 suspension = 47″
Yet you say the clock is slow. Must be a heavy pendulum.
Anyway, see if this leader looks like it will fit (there are two styles)

If so, get the 7 inch and should fix.
