Day Seriani Answer Day, I believe your Howard Miller clock is a 610-366 Saratoga. TO verify, the dimensions are 79-1/2' high, 23-1/2' wide and 13-1/8' deep. It is difficult to determine the value on what I consider modern production clocks (WWII to the present) because there just isn't any published information on the values.
It depends on the selling price of the clock, the condition of the movement and the case, and the economy and demand in the area in which you are trying to sell it. Sorry I cannot help you more, but maybe this will help a little. Question I have a howard miller grandfather clock that I inherited.

Question QUESTION: My Grandfather clock does not chime at all.I was in a hurry one day and wound the clock forward after which I remembered I was suppose to go backwards or counter clockwise. The middle weight drops but not the left or right weight now and no chiming at all.I sure would love to hear it chime again.Thank you I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
ANSWER: Theresa, there are a couple of different thoughts on the direction in which to set a clock, It really depends on the clock. There area some older clocks that cannot be turned backwards.
Most of the modern production clocks can be turned either way. If turning forward, it is best to turn it lightly because the clock will start chiming while you are setting it and the chime mechanism can lock and stop the hand. If this is the case, just move the hand back a little and then forward.
In your case, now that you have a locked condition, look in the top of the clock from the back or side panels and see if any of the chime or strike hammers are not in alignment at rest about 1/16' away from the rods. If they are, gently pull back on all the hammers of that side. On the chime side you might have to rock the chime drum (round cylinder or cams on the back of the clock) a little forward and backward. If this doesn't do it et back with me and we'll see what else we can do.
---------- FOLLOW-UP ---------- QUESTION: Dear John, I rocked the chime drum ect.still no bong and a little chimes at different times.No sequence.A little more info. I've had the clock for about three years and it's a Howard Miller Filmour Floor clock.Thanks again for your time and help. Answer Theresa, there are a few things that could be wrong, but I'm at a loss right now. Would it be possible for you to send some photos to my shop email address?
