Howard Miller Grandfather Clock


Question Posted Tuesday November 25 2014, 4:07 pm

Hello Advicenatots: I have a Howard Miller Grandfather Clock that is 15 years old. Model # 610-742 Serial # F0002470358. It keeps good time. But does not strike the hour on the hour. Also, the quarter - half - and three quarter hour chimes are way out of tune. sounds very bad. I don't hear and high note chimes. Only low note chimes. What can I do? Thanks, Dave

Look in your area for Clock shops that sell the Howard Miller clocks. We have one of those in the mantel clock. In some case's, the shop owner also does repairs and is an expert in clock repair or adjustments. Or in some cases, they will refer you to someone in the area reputable at fixing Howard Miller clocks and you could make an appt. with them to come to your place to work on it.

Its likely a simple adjustment for an expert but if we try it ourselves, we might make it worse. I say that because at first, the clock seller/repair guy told us what to do, (our clock was at home when we stopped by) and we followed instructions but it sounded worse when it chimed. So we brought the clock to him and he fixed the chimes.
Good Luck.
