Moving a grandfather clock

Just got word I am inheriting a grandfather clock from a relative. I was told Fulkerson's Jewelers moves them, but they are tied up. Apparently, the estate closes next Thursday, so I got to get the clock out of there. Anyone know of a place besides Fulkerson's that knows how to move a grandfather clock? Thanks so much for any advice you can give me.

I believe the biggest concern is to disconnect or secure the moving parts in the body. The rest is just moving.

Been there, done that. Have it professionally moved.

I second Foodie's recommendation. This is one of those things that it really pays to have an expert move, and by that I mean a real expert - not two men and a truck.

Always best to have experienced people do it.

Casey's Clock Shop on Rugby Drive. If anyone would know how to move a grandfather clock, it would be them.

Yep - forgot about Casey's. They did a major cleaning and tune up on my clock about 5 years ago. Removed the works from the clock and took them to their shop to do it. It took about a month but it has kept perfect time since. Very happy with their work too.
