Thank you for this great demonstration!

How cute. I had to watch carefully to see the couple moving.❤

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. Your videos are appreciated. Do you have a video on how to assembly the correct order for the strike parts on the front of the movement to be installed. Thanks

I was going to take mine in for service. All I needed to do was level it! Thank you!

Can you tell me what size weights you have? I have the same identical clock. I believe it takes three. Do you have (2) 275g and (1) 320g for the music? Or (3) 320g's? And does it matter what kind of pendulum I put on it? I lost my weights and pendulum in my move.

very helpful! what repair is likely needed if the pendulum hanger comes off the wire?

I just got a clock from a visit to the Black Forest. Is there a way to loop the chains around so that my dogs don't bump around or get tangled in them? Thanks.

I did this and now my hour hand wont’t move. Even manually. It won’t cuckoo either. This did not work for me. Now it wont work at all.

Great information! My cuckoo clock does this exact thing. Keep up the great videos. It’s always a pleasure seeing your new posts!

Thx

Great vid.

Your videos are very helpful. Thank you!

Do you know how to order any part of citizen popp quartz clock in India?

I bought a cuckoo clock like a week ago I didn't use a screw I used a nail And It didn't fall

I have the exact same clock. Do you know the manufacturer, or the value? Thanks.

Did you date the clock? I have the same movement, and have proven 'before 1901', but not maker or anything closer...

Cookoo clocks are not practical, dust and spider webs are drawn up into clock and fouls up the works!

Hi, we have a similar clock . In transporting to our new home the weights and pendulum were removed. I feel that I have the pendulum hung correctly on the bar but cannot see how I attach the weights onto the wheels. Could you offer advice please. Thank you

So basically he's pulling on the weight to give it more power to get it beyond whatever is jamming or rubbing.. stealing the power. First thing to do is to set it up so you can watch it operate from the back, then when it gets stuck just poke around with a little stick or something until you discover what is causing the problem. Thanks for the helpful video.

That was absolutely excellent instruction Thank you

I would think using pure acetone would be the way to go for cleaning movements if you need to solvent clean them, it dries cleanly and won't harm metals. Will of course require reoiling of the springs as acetone is very much a degreaser and will pretty much dissolve anything oil (including many plastics).

When I was little, back in the late 60's, I loved both birds and clocks. When I saw cuckoo clocks in the Sears Christmas catalogue, I begged my parents for one. I know they were reluctant to get something that would spring to life and squawk every half hour, but I persisted, and Santa brought me one. Fast forward to last spring, when I finally found someone who could clean it and get it working again, as it had been silent and motionless for decades. He did this, but the lower whistle doesn't sound, and the bird does not bob. Watching your video, I think I know what to do to fix this! I'll let you know if I succeed. Thank you for the video. ❤🐦

Also, I should stay. I followed the instructions in this video and it still won’t start.

I have this very cuckoo clock. It was my father’s and it’s been packed up for two years. I just put it on the wall. I don’t know how to make it start.

That is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!!!😀

I read the James Herriot books to my children when they were growing up… it was part of our bedtime routine. One of their favorite stories was, “Only One Woof”.☺️

I have a German made grandfather clock and a Black Forest cuckoo clock that I, proudly, restored myself😊. I also have a collection of several small clocks sitting around my house and a display in a cabinet in my living room that I collected when I used to own an antique shop. Obviously, I have a thing for clocks.❤ I came here in search of how to oil my pendulum on my cuckoo clock that recently stopped swinging, as a clock repairman recently oiled to get it swinging again, but it has stopped once again and I can’t remember where he put the oil. I watched several of your videos and found one about oil and hope I don’t use too much oil. I enjoyed your videos, by the way. I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

I see this ALL THE TIME. It's always disheartening when a customer tells me it was recently serviced by another person/shop, and I have to explain what you basically just said, then charge them to fix the problem or replace it. It's such a shame there are so many hacks out there charging for this kind of work. Good video!!

Great video, !!! Very informative, expecting my first clock soon. thank you for the info!!!

The pull strength of a 3 year old? Hard to say these days...

Beautiful clock!

I think you may have just help me I will know tomorrow however it’s 3:57am ,and I may have to look at now,my bird only does one cuckoo and slow but the music plays most the time.

I'd like to see a video on what to do if you're cuckoo won't stop cuckooing.

My guy, you saved my sanity. Thank you!

Thank you my clock is going off at the 15 min marks.

The back spring or coils.

Does this need to have anything connected to this.

Great video,lower is slower

Logan, Do you know where I can get the small clock/calendar that they wound to Christmas Day in one of the episodes. I want to buy one if possible, or get some plans to make one. Thank you !! Enjoyed your informative video on the clocks in the series !!

I always put my hand on the clock when I wind mine so it doesn’t move.

I have this exact clock Hanging in my living room and working well. Do you have an approximate value?

Oh yeah

Thanks for this video! My in-laws had a 70’s vintage Schmeckenbecher cuckoo clock that we recently cleaned and got running again. The cuckoos were 2 hours behind and with the help of your video got I got the cuckoos to match the time again! Now, their clock also has dancers that spin just after the cuckoo. The seem to spin and dance a random number of times between 1 and 5. Any suggestions on fixing that? How many times are they supposed to dance?

This was so helpful! Thank you!!

These little tips matter. Sometimes we just dont think?❤

Ours keeps losing the correct time as well. The bolt is pretty tight. Need to find a smaller wrench to move it.

Thanks for making this video! We've had one in the family for forever and didn't realize A. How old it was and B. How to actually tune it

My hour am still not loosen up. And on this RIVER CITY CUCKOO CLOCK has done shaped spacer under the minute arm on top of the square The hour hand is not loose at all!

Those were my favorite when I was younger!!
