Question
I have a 67th Anniversary edition Howard Miller triple chime cable driven grandfather clock and I need to know how to pack it to move out of state.  Can you help me?

Answer
are you moving it yourself or is a trucker of some kind? what kind? with other stuff in a moving van? makes a difference on if you need a crate made .....

also put two medium rubber bands around the ends of the black chime rods that are attached to the back of the case- in a "clump" so they will rattle as a unit and not allow single rods to break off on the road with vibration.
