Moving the Clock
At some point it may become necessary to relocate the clock. This may be done safely if

(the pendulum is pretty heavy); with a finger on the
leader, gently lift the pendulum up and away (it is held
on with a pin); replace the screw in the leader to prevent
it from being lost.
3. Remove the weight by lifting
up on the weight cover cap and
then unhooking the weight from
the cable.
4. Remove the movement from the case by loosening the two seat board screws located
