is there any way to get an antique mantle clock that is wound too tight to work again?


Depending on what type of movement you have can make a difference. First get some oil and apply it to the pivots with a fine needle. Then apply oil to the tips of the escape wheel It should have 15 or 17 teeth.
If it has a pendulum get it to swing. If it has an balance wheel give it a spin. Make sure you have the clock on a level surface.
