Try www.klockit.com. You can replace the entire movement for about $5 including new hands. You can select from an assortment of hands that will probably match the style of what you have and use those if the old hands don't fit the new movement. I've bought several movements from them over the years. For a few more dollars you can upgrade to an "atomic clock" movement which synchronizes with the US time signal and even sets DST automatically.

Make sure all winding springs are wound well- but not overly tightened and set pendulum in motion. The clock needs to level across the face and front to back to work correctly. Time can be adjusted by moving the hands of the clock via the minute hand- allow it to strike once at each strike interval to keep strikes synched to clock time, and fast or slow can be adjusted by either the adjustment onthe pundulum arm or on the mechanism where you see an arc with "F" and "S" on either end.
Depending on model, it will need winding at least as often as the name of the clock type- in other words, a seven day clock should only need to be wound every 7 days.
Hi Pam,
I have a Howard Miller Grandfather clock and the pendulum swings very slowly and from far left to far right travels only about three inches at best. It doesn't need to move any more than that to make the "Verge" move the "Escape Wheel" to rotate the gears to keep the hands moving at the correct tick. Howard Miller Grandfather Clock
