Just saw this sad news. My father and I have been established as an authorized Howard Miller and Ridgeway clock service center in the Kansas City area for several years now.

Here is a flying pendulum clock I've finally gotten around to setting up. Serviced the clock and now attaching the new string.

After everything is done it will be for sale. Really fascinating clock.

Here is a short clip of the music box sound. Beautiful.

Sometimes it's not a clock. This beautiful 8 melody Swiss music box was a mess when it was brought to me. Cleaned up rather nicely. Look for the video where you can hear part of a song.

Just received a call from a clock owner whose clock has stopped working. I had checked this clock quite a while ago and was supposed to service it since it had been many years.

When I called at the agreed time to arrange pickup of the clock I was ignored with no return calls.

Doesn't make sense if you have a clock, to just keep running it until it stops rather than maintaining it properly. It's not as expensive, but like running your car without service until it stops running. Now I fear the clock will need more than a simple cleaning and fresh oil.

Dad and I had the great honor of fixing the beautiful clock in the chapel of Warren-McElwain Mortuary in Lawrence last month. You may have seen the article in the Lawrence Journal-World on Labor Day.
