Question
About a year ago, my husband and son moved my grandfather clock. They carried it incorrectly (horizontally) and it has not worked since. Have they ruined it by bending something?

Answer
if they removed the three weights and the pendulum before moving it horizontally -- not ruined.  Probably not assembled again right or something on the pendulum hanging is not right.
