I can't help but giggle when I see someone say to post a picture. Even tho' you have the model #, the appearance/condition always makes a difference.
Sight unseen, FYI please, please read the information at this site about Grandfather Clock repair and Usage. It specifically talks about Howard Miller Clocks and how they are different from other clocks pertaining to the weights. You may already know all this...but just in case.
We wait the picture!!
