I love this video I actually grew up with one I am also a big fan of cuckoo clocks I’ve got a question when I buy a cuckoo clock can I not push up and down the pendulum leaf it makes me very nervous when I have to push up and down the leaf
Hello Victoria, thank you for your question. I also Made a Video that helps you making the choice easier th-cam.com/video/25ZNekW-4yM/w-d-xo.html . All Clocks that we sell in our Shop www.steinsandclocks.com are pre set from the manufactor. So there ist no need usually to adjust the Pendel.
I have a Linden Tambour Pendulum Chiming Mantle Germany Cuckoo Clock Mfg1051-020. I can't seem to adjust the right side lever to silence the chimes - there's resistance, so I'm concerned I may be doing it wrong. Please advise. Thanks
Excellent information and easily understood. Question: I inherited a beautiful 3 day cuckoo clock and it worked at my friends home, she said it is difficult to line up on the wall perfectly so it will run correctly. How do I line up a cuckoo clock on the wall ?
Thank you! This is helpful. My pendulum stops swinging randomly throughout the day even though the weights are at or near the clock. The pendulum swings freely and straight. Otherwise, it keeps the time very well. Any ideas what is causing the pendulum to "tire out?"
Hello Rogers, is it maybe close to a door or a window? Sometimes it could be that the pendelum ist stoped from the Air flow or Wind. Hopefully that helps you 😀
Thank you. I just brought home a proved cuckoo clock that has music. The time is consistently an hour ahead and I’ve tried adjusting the hands but it still doesn’t have the correct time. Any ideas? Also wondering if there are different weights, is one heavier than the others and, if so, which chain does it go on?
The weights should all have the same weight, so there is no Problem. If you follow the video you should be able to fix the issue with the cuckoo. If it does not Work, you have to See a clock repair
Thanks for the info. Appreciate it. My click shows 8 pm but the cuckoo cuckooks only 4. Do I have to follow the same process. Unscrew and turn clock backwards to 4 and then bring it back to 8???
Hello Donato, i have not made one for it, so far. Wind could Effekt the pendelum yes. You also can hang it somewhere else for a day, and see If it keeps the time right. Cheers Markus
@@steinsandclocks Hey Markus, I read online in a FAQ section, that wind does affect the swing of the pendulum. I bought a cuckoo clock from Titisee and got it back to India. Here we all have ceiling fans, so I think I will have to find a work around to have it ticking the right way and non stop. Thank you for your reply. Cheers Donato :)
My clock will be accurate for the first few hours but then when the weights get about half way down it will uslay run slow or (when I adjusted the leaf it runs fast). Do you have any suggestions. Thanks
Hi there, my first question would be if you have a 1 oder a 8 day clock. Also is there a window or a door nearby where the clock is hanging? cheers Markus
@@steinsandclocks After adjusting the way it is sitting on the wall it runs for a day or two but stops eventually. I am thinking I may have to re-mount the clock on the wall so it does not move when we wind it?
My cuckoo doesn't come out even in day-lit area... I tried using flashlight for more light near the night sensor. A tick sound appears when the minute hand strikes 12, but cuckoo doesn't come out. Sound switch is on. Tried replacing batteries as well. What could be the issue? My clock is a Kaiser KC-2
I own a German Fucee Cuckoo Clock. I need to adjust the time. Do I follow the same steps you have suggested with my clock. I have a key wound movement, no weights. Thank you!
Hi, I have a cuckoo clock that is either 15 minutes fast or 15 minutes slow. I know the leaf on the pendulum is what controls fast or slow but I can't remember if it needs to move up or down. Do you have a video on that or can you help. Thanks
Hello Tootsiegirl, so far i dont have a video for that ;) I will write it up, and make one. To make to clock go slower, lower the leaf. If you move it up, it runs faster. Cheers Markus
Hi. Thank you for your helpful videos. I bought an old 7-day cuckoo clock from a guy who repairs clocks as a side business. It was working, but then the pendulum stopped so I brought it back to him to fix. He cleaned and oiled it and didn’t charge me. However, now only the second half of the cuckoo sound can be heard the first syllable doesn’t sound at all. Can you please advise me on how to fix this? Thank you.
Hello Sherry, sound like the pipebellow is not working right. I would recommend to bring it back to the clockmaker, and let him fix it for you. Wish you the best
@@steinsandclocks I've sorted the problem now all working apart from the door don't close properly and the bird don't come out but I'll try and sort that fro your vids thanks for your help
My cookie clock keeps running to fast I’ve put the pendulum down but it still keeps doing it then goes to slow so I ajust it up then to fast again very fed up with it
It says Germany on the front. This is it here, although it doesn't sound as fast here. I paid $500 for it I think I got ripped off. 😟th-cam.com/video/k6jITlGtcC0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FLxi7h4OWu4aB37b
Hello Joanne, you still have the cuckoo time at the full hour. So for example 5 times. Adjust the time than like shown in the video, this also should work for you.
Your presentation was wonderful- great show how to fix and perfect , concise, easyto follow explanation.
Glad it was helpful!

Where can I get a replacement for the swinging piece that goes behind the pendulum? It balances the timing.
We Dont sell any spare parts. Make a online search i am Sure you will find a Store for it. Cheers Markus
Thanks buddy. I have seen other videos but yours is straight to the point!

You unscrew and set the hands to the right time. Dont turn the clock backwards, thats not good for the mechanic inside.
I want to know the default setting of the pendulum. Is there a video? Secondly, does a ceiling fan breeze affect the pendulum swing?

I hope the pendulum enjoyed its flight. 😆 My cuckoo clock's music plays very fast. Is there a way to change it? I wonder if my weight is too heavy..
hehyo ;) did you change the weights yourself? Do you know the manufactor of your clock ? cheers Markus
@@steinsandclocks I didnt change the weights. The only branding I see is on a sticker looks like it says MAPSA.. ?
