Question QUESTION: Mr. Saunders, I recently became the owner of my "family clock" and the pendulum arm as well as one weight is in need of replacement. Can you tell me the likelihood of finding these replacement parts and suggest a source? Thank you.
ANSWER: what is a pendulum "arm'? not a clock term- which weight? - not all the same.
need the stamped info off the back brass plate of the mechanism itself to help.

QUESTION: Thank you for your speedy response. The back of the brass plate says: Howard Miller Manufacturing Company (below that something I can't make out) then: Made in Germany. To the right of this it says UW32/1 146990. The pendulum "arm" I refer to is probably the pendulum. I have the brass disk that fits on to it but not the part that swings. Also the missing weight is the farthest left, as one faces the clock. If you need an photo I can take one and send to you. Thanks again.
Answer weight can look different but weigh the same - polished or brushed brass - different diameter - length etc. you can buy one or buy a set of three - gets complicated.
