Can
I safely move my clock?
Yes.
Whenver a shelf clock or wall clock is moved, the pendulum and/or
weights should be removed or secured. Care must be taken to maintain
tension on the cables of any weight driven clock during moving. Whenever
grandfather clocks are moved even a short distance, the weights and
pendulum should be removed. If you are moving a grandfather clock
a long distance, a qualified repair person should prepare the clock
for transit.

does an overhaul take a few weeks to complete?

repair, like any quality work cannot be rushed. In some cases parts
must be ordered or made by hand. When repairs are completed, the clock
is tested for at least 8 days to ensure that everything is adjusted
properly.

BIT does not restore wooden cases. We clean them with a specially

much better. If more extensive repairs are needed, we can recommend
a fine furniture refinisher.
