Yes, the clock may need to be leveled. But has it been moved recently, such as painting the room or installing new carpets?
The rear of the clock may be sitting on the "tack strip" for the wall to wall carpet--which is what happened to my clock. So try to move it just a little way from the wall and see if that cures the problem. That worked for me.

pendulum hitting weights by: Anonymous
Hi
Leveling is not likely to fix this.
It is more likely that the pendulum is
not swinging straight or is rotated
slightly.
This can be caused by a failing suspension
spring or bent pendulum hanger.
If the pendulum is not swinging in a straight
line, it means something is not right up
near the top of the pendulum.

Leveling the clock by: Jeen
Hi Edward,
Congratulations on this unusual clock.
I suggest that you use a spirit level and some wedges and try to get the clock standing absolutely level.
Grandfather clocks need to stand absolutely level or they will not run properly.
