I need to find out how to properly set the time and chimes for a grandfather clock. Here are all the stats on the clock that I can see:
It was made from the Howard Miller Co., in Zeeland Michigan. The serial number is 334195 and it was sold on 12/87. If you know anything about this I would sure apreciate it.

If your granfather's clock is anything like mine's, then here is what you should do. Wind the spring (do not overwind!!!) If there is a manual access to the clock's arms, you should gently rotate them to a position where the clock is supposed to chime and let it chime. Count the chimes. If it is synchronized - great. Turn the arms slowly to set the proper time, letting it chime every time it is supposed to. If you go too fast - it will skip the chime and the next chime will be off by one count. Incidentally, this is how you make it synchronized - by going a bit faster and not letting it chime. Whatever you do - do it very carefully, don't push it or you might break it.

My clock has three weights and they appear to be different. Is there a particular way that they should be hung. One appears to be heavier than the other two. should it be in the middle or should it be on one side or the other?
