Jeff,
I would call Zeiss.   I know they could dismantle the Zeiss and they could
probably dismantle and pack the ISI as well.    We are currently moving our
scope and the company that services it is coming to take it apart for the
move.    Although, after it is dismantled a moving company is coming to move
the scope and then the service guy will come and reset it up.
Hope this helps.
Hazel
