Question
I inherited this clock and i would like to learn how to take care of it and to see if i can get it working , any help would greatly be appreciated.

Answer
In the clock industry it is a general rule that a professional clock repair person should prepare a grandfather clock for moving and then set it up at the destination. Most clock repair people are happy to show you how to operate the clock after he or she sets it up.
If you want to do this on your own, here is a link to a good article on setting the clock up:
