This clock was been refurbished and since collecting it the company who reparied it is no longer in business. When it was collected it was working fine but something happened on the 150 mile journey home and will only run for about 10 minutes, if angled, with the bottom swung about 20 degrees to the right. it has two wieghts can you help.

It sounds like your pendulum is out of kilter so to speak. If you look at the workings from the side you will see that the pendulum, works a lever which in turn operates the escapement. Obviously when the clock was being transported for 150 miles it suffered a shock of some sort which possibly affected the position of the pendulum in relation to the lever. Try to realign the lever to the pendulum, (trial & error) until the clock will work in the fully upright position. Baybe next time you should remove the pendulum when in transit.
