- This is an 8 day Cuckoo Clock. Just a cleaning and oiling of this nice, 1969 Cuckoo Clock. I show how I take the clock apart for cleaning and back together again and ready to hang back up on the wall.

Now that I am retired, I just might show my life and some of the towns around me. I enjoy working on Cuckoo Clocks and clocks in general, How to repair vacuums, fans and things form the thrift stores, besides the thrift store finds, and working on houses. Time Lapse, Bird & Sky watching along with gardening. Helping my Dad with things he loved to do, along with taking dad and his wife to breakfast.
My Brother and Dad, live on the same Dead End Road and yea, maybe we just might get into trouble a little, but have fun doing it. It is time to start smelling the Roses on the way instead of looking at them and passing them by.
Thank you so much for your videos! My local clock shop wasn’t all that interested in restoring the cuckoo clock I found in my grandparent’s attic and said it wouldn’t be cost effective. So I decided to try myself, with help for your videos. With an investment of under $100 for cleaning supplies and a few replacement parts, it’s now ticking away in my dining room. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge! This could totally become a hobby. 😁
Wonderful! to hear the exciting news on your grandparent's cuckoo clock. I try to remember to tell people what some of the parts do so if they are having a problem with their cuckoo clock, maybe they will know what to look for. Not all, but some of the clock repair shops will also tell you your clock is bad and hope you will give it to them for parts, so sad a lot of people have let their clocks go this way. You have a wonderful Christmas and a Safe New Years.

Same to you my dear friend and also have a wonderful week Welcome to Kratai Kitchen
If I ever need someone to help me with my clock I know who to email.👍
Yes, I am here to help NoneMechanic101.
8 day clock is for the people like Me that can't remember to wind your one day clock everyevening. Oh sure it's fun the first two weeks, but then one day you forget.
You are so right about the 8 day clock Bob Anderson. This is the very reason I started to look for the 8 day clocks. But there are still some fine 1 day clocks that I like the looks of. Have a Merry Christmas.
To heck with the clock, you got dancing raisins brother..Oh Hell Yeah!
I always loved the Dancing Raisins. Thanks for stopping in Harry Ballz
I have a clock just like that one I bought it in Germany while I was in the army in 1968
I like your channel and look forward to more of your videos🔔🙏🤝🤲😍🖤💝💙💛💓💖💗💞
Thanks for coming by the channel UNKNOWN. Have a great day.
One question I have pls Mike...what is the ingredient ratio in that Amonia bath you used to soak the movement? Thanks Mike
Check out my video on making your own mix. Clock Movement Cleaner Home Made th-cam.com/video/eIQ9LAfPCKw/w-d-xo.html
I know this video is over a year old, but the clockmaker is E. Schmeckenbecher.
Thank you. I know people like to know what clock I am working on, but for my self, I forget to check into what the clock is I am working on. I just dive into it and figure the clock out as I go and try to determine how old it is, even though I am sure I am wrong most of the time.
My clock just gives one single coo coo on every hour. What do I adjust to get multiple coo coos on the hour?
In my videos, I explain what each part does on the Front of the movement. Your levers are not falling down when triggered to do so. It could be that they are sticking from old oil and dust, maybe a spider made a home in the clock when it wasn't running or someone was turning the minute hand counter clock wise to get the right time and the little arrow that drops on the snail is bent now and needs adjusting so it will drop back on the snail again.
JUST MIKE CAN FIX IT😊
Thank you so much Soulfoodqueen.net.
Seems you did all that work and forgot to show how to oil it? I was primarily interested in seeing you oil it.
I use to show the oiling of the clocks as well. I guess I need to go back to showing the oiling prosses. Sorry about that.

Thank you CEO Youngbae Choi. Merry Christmas.
Was the cleaning solution just ammonia?
th-cam.com/video/eIQ9LAfPCKw/w-d-xo.html This video is how you can make your own cleaner and not use ammonia. You would not want to use ammonia, full strength and leave your parts set to ling in the cleaner.
1969 still im not born good still have that collection
I had to think about it, after I said that Edna Oduca, lol. Merry Christmas.
So many little mechanisms with a specific feature
Merry Christmas Jacqueline Brown
Mike, thank you for such a great instructional video. You took your time and showed parts and explained what you were doing and why. What did you use to soak the gearbox in?
I am using up my online Boughen Movement cleaner, but I do have a video out on home made movement cleaner that works very well and was also tole to add a 1/2 a cup of Murphy's soap to get the brass to shine better. This is the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/eIQ9LAfPCKw/w-d-xo.html
Don’t drink it lol ! Time for lunch lol 😂 Are we. there yet lol 😂 I want my MTV lol ::: who are trying to call Clock Busters ! .......If I don’t have one of those things I will throw it up against the wall and wall art lol !what it bird is hungry lol that would make me cuckoo to! .....This is a cuckoo experience! ...............Hold mouth right things can happen 😂 I love spray hair spray toothpaste spray Lemon meringue pie spray it’s a spray life !

Have you ever mess up a clock trying to fix it
My first one, I did, but kept at it to understand what made it tick Miss Southern Belle.
@@justmike57 Do you think you’re clocks are like women , learning what makes them tick tock ! Lol 😂 Merry Christmas
I think 🤔 some men are hard to figure out also !
@@justmike57 I think 🤔 your going cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo being around all those cuckoo clocks
Next time I see one at a thrift store I am going to buy one.
They do come in to the thrift store, just finding the clock before someone else does Create with shorty b.
Excellent job you did my dear Mike. you fix each and every part of the cuckoo clock on the perfect place. wawoo it's working. Enjoy the full tutorial. surely it gives you happiness. keep it going. 🌻 🌻 🌻 23:42
Many thanks! I do love working on the clocks and it might sound funny, but still today, I learn more about each clock I work on E Learning & Cooking.
You clean it up. possibly all dust particals sank in the water. now it is looking good. Mike you explained it's mechanical work quite deeply. You have a complete knowledge about cocuclock.
I have hope the clocks will run for at least 10 years before they need cleaned again E Learning & Cooking.
Great 🌷🌷🌷merry christmas🌷🌷
Same to you and have a Happy New Years my friend.
Another great video with a full view. Thanks so much for your support this year. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas 💕💕💕

Everyone remember to hit the👍👍For Mike
Thank you Will the Rocker. You have a Merry Christmas.
man, those things are complicated. you gotta have a lot of patience for that type of hobby. you need 1 of those sonic cleaners.
Yes, they are more things to adjust in these cuckoo clocks than the normal wall clock and sometimes makes you pull your hair out. But that is sometime the fun part Iseekoutthetruth. Have a Merry Christmas and wonderful New Years is on it's way.
Have a nice day
Greeting from BALI
Thank you! You too and Hello from Bali. You have a good and Happy New Year's.
If you set that tub on top of a thin board strapped on top of a running lawn mower engine it will be a super ultrasonic cleaner.
I like the way you think. Thinking Outside the Box. Thanks so much for watching Harry Ballz
Hai very Like friend.
Thank you very much R&B GIRL.
Thanks for the great videos, love them. Just recently i rediscovered a family treasure in shape of a Regula movement and by looks of appearance, a black forest cuckoo. I have nothing to lose but maybe a bit to gain by trying to get it to work better. As for cleaning can i apply or dip it in surgical alcohol, as im not confident to take it apart, and oil it. All of movement seem to be in good and working order
Giving the movement a good blow from a can of air for your computer would help first. Just remember that not taking it apart will always leave the old oil and dust in the pivots, so you might try running the clock gears while dipping the movement in the alcohol. also using a toothbrush around all the pivots and moving parts. Good luck on your cleaning and at least this will be a good start Jacques O
@@justmike57 hi thanx. But it seems the cleaning alcohol( medical)version didnt do too good for mechanism. Run for few seconds with escape wheel. So i rinsed it ou good with light soapy solution then air dryed it hairdryer. To no avail, tried again
@@jacqueso8424 after using the dish soap and a toothbrush for scrubbing, a good clock oil in each of the pivots should make the clock work again. Also, don't forget to oil the part that rocks back and forth from the pendulum. Sometimes there is a drag or friction there and as the wheel is turned with every tick, it will slow the clock down and even stop the clock.
Also something to remember, if you didn't take the movement all the way apart, it will take time to get the clock running again. The old oils and dust in the pivots has loosen and is now gummy and that will stop the clock as well. To get it running again, oil you movement again then keep starting the pendulum every time you walk by your clock. You start it enough times, the clock will start running again. The new oil is loosening the old oil
@@justmike57 thank you so much for the help, it is much appreciated. I really dont want to give up on the cuckoo as such as i have already made a process to make new numerals and also repair the crown and side decor panels
Merry Christmas
Thank you Ohskelily Wurarah. And you have a Wonderful Christmas and New Year's. God Bless.
Very nice and beautiful technical vlog. lets see how you dismental clock from the body, clean and then reassemble it in the body frame. watching. . .
I try to help the people that want to get their clocks working again and want to do it them self. So I make it as simple as possible for the normal person and don't get to complicated for them. Thank you so much for stopping by E Learning & Cooking.
Wow nice👍
Thank you Netz Ybm
Fantastic
Thank you so much Amazing World Works. Merry Christmas and God Bless
I am not knowledgeable at all, but want to try and repair my cuckoo. It has 3 weights and I cannot get the top chain on. So nice to watch your videos. I’m going to keep trying. Thank you.
You can do it! Holding the other chains with a wire, cloths pin or anything to keep them tight so they don't fall off. Getting the top chain on, I an thinking you are talking about the music chain. It helps if you can trigger the music to play so you can pull the chain over the winder easier.
❤🤩Have a nice day🙋🏼♀️
Great upload:):) Full watch:)

Many many thanks Habib Pharmacy. Merry Christmas and God Bless.
I like seeing the inside mechanics of clocks! I'd guess the clock cleaner might be like jewelry cleaner. Do u use that Revlon hair dryer for your, hair Mike??😁 That bottom words said E. Schmeckenbecher! Definitely sounds German or polish to me! Have a very Merry Christmas, Mike and God bless!💖🎄
It is a bit like jewelry cleaner, but much stronger to clean oils, varnish and dust grime. No, I don't use the Revlon hair dryer, I use the heater on the wall, in the bathroom. After watching the video, I could see what it said, and yes it is German. You have a Great and Merry Christmas with your family Misha Lea and enjoy friends as well. God Bless.

Thank you يومياتي انا وبناتي
Very good videos, Mike! Thanks for sharing! I had a few questions, one of which you answered, regarding the liquid cleaner you use. My other questions pertains to the cuckoo bird speeding up on the video the more times it cuckoos: Is that a frequent problem? Any idea what caused that? Does that throw off the clock keeping accurate time, or do you need to reset it every so often? Whenever I have come across cuckoo clocks, and I could get them at a decent price, I did. I now have over 30 cuckoo clocks. BUT - none of them work. Not yet! I got them with the expectation that I would learn to fix them. And I will. They have always made an impression on me. I hope to come to love working on cuckoo clocks like you do. Thank you again.
The speed of the cuckoo doesn't effect the clock. I had another person tell me they put wax on the fan part to slow the cuckooing down to the right sounding speed. This is ok as long as your fan is still holding on and not broken, (depending on how fast the cuckooing of the bird).
When starting on a cuckoo clock, start on one that only cuckoos. And a cheaper clock as well so if you mess one up, you are not out of that much money. Besides, you mess it up, you learn and should still be able to fix it.
I have some beads that would fit in there eyes tiny beads lol Very pretty cuckoo clock were was it made ?
Most of these were made in Germany. I think your pretty beads might look funny for eyes in these clocks Miss Southern Belle. You have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. God Bless.

Hello Mike, I enjoyed seeing how you cleaned your cockoo clock. We have one too. Jim said he too has taken it apart to clean. Our clock is fro Germany too. My brother in law brought it back when he was stationed there in the army. 💕thanks for sharing. 💕Happy New Year 💕 NonnaGrace
It's so nice to have clocks that have a story or memories. A lot of the clocks were from the men and women that were in the service. I hope you had a great New Year's day and so many more to come NonnaGrace.
Thank you for the description on this clock. I just recently purchased a non working Black Forest Cuckoo Clock this help tremendously

@@justmike57 cool so it's probably even prettier.
Hi there from South Africa. I'm in the process of fixing a cuckoo clock for a friend, and it being my 1st time, your video helped me a LOT! The one I've got here has the exact same mechanism, with just a bit taller case. The dating on the rear panel is 8-77. Also came across those cheapo pesky staples.
I am not knocking the Cuckoo Clock, but most the older ones you work on seem very cheap made. The stain will wipe off easily with a cleaner or oils. Just the same, that is the art and aging the clock in return makes them even more unique Matthys de Wet. By the way, welcome from South Africa.
Superb work as usual Mike. Your a real wizard at these things. I like the method you use to clean and oil these. Some have argued at me saying total dismantling the movement is the only way. I say its whatever method your comfortable with that gets the job done as not everyone's an expert. Totally dismantling it without knowing all the pieces, how they work or go back is quite intimidating. Especially with unexperienced people like myself when it comes to the mechanics of these. So your method is more comfortable with people like me. Just wanted to thank you for demonstrating that. I'd love to see you work on a cuckoo clock that has the cuckoo bird and a quail bird too. Keep up the good work!
I have had some of the same people tell me to stop showing people the wrong way too clean the clocks, but my channel for the clock cleaning is for people like you that just want to try to get their clocks running again and if they can find a clock shop to take it in to, the charge would be most likely more than the clock is worth to them.
I have heard and seen people using all kinds of spray oils to get there clocks going again, and it may work for a while until more dust really gets stuck to all that extra oil sprayed in there. So this is why I try to help people with their clocks and try to explain what some of the levers and what not, do, so they might be able to solve their own problem. I also have my email below the video so if they are having a problem, they can send pictures and what might be their problem they are stuck on.
Thanks so much for the good and kind words Sammy Roark
I like the look of this clock. Very Nice. Is this your clock Mike.
Yes, it was, but I gave it as a wedding gift to my sons friend Nana.s Cookingcraftcorner. Thank you for stopping in and you have a wonderful New Year.

Nice video of the cleaning of the Cuckoo clock. Enjoyed till end. Full A++
Thank you so much 😊 ABs Food
I have this same clock. The bar that is connected to the pendulum that counts tick tock and keeps time is broken off the frame. The bar that connects to the gear that counts and moves the pendulum. How do I reconnect it to the frame?
I do believe the the bar is pressed in. if it is broke off, you can try to supper glue it back on, but will not hold up to another cleaning and will have to be re-glued again. You might have to find a new plate or used plate if you want a more permanent fix. Looking on e-bay maybe, or just buy a new works. I have an email below the video that I can send you a link to where I buy my parts from Valerie Jo
Awesome video thanks for sharing this you are a great friend
You are too Coral 1. Until next time, take care and that Mustard Seed thing, lol.

Very interesting to watch you tear down that clock, and put it back together. Interesting hobby, glad it brings you joy. The bird definitely is a air bag of coo coo! Enjoy your week Darling Mike.
Glad you enjoyed it my Darling Kathleen Elliot. I do enjoy my hobby and wish I had as many walls to hang my clocks as I did on the farm, lol. You have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Years. God Bless

Glad it was helpful Game WFK. Have a Merry Christmas and God Bless.

Glad I could help! I am very happy when I hear my videos help others with their clocks Sandra Grell Wells.
Interesting, amazing, and fun. This is the best video.
You are so kind Culinary Institute.
I always understood how they worked pretty much, gear actuators. When they dont work is where I get off the bus! I'll hand it to you , you have the Midas touch with clocks.
These are a bit more difficult to get everything adjusted if they are old or have fallen off the wall. Still learning on some of the very old ones The Drifter. Merry Christmas to you and the Family. God Bless.
@@justmike57 Thanks Just Mike, Bless you and yours as well ...Merry Christmas sir.
Have a great Christmas 🎄 my friend
Thank you John Ames and you have a great Merry Christmas yourself with the family. God Bless
What cleaning fluid did we clean the watch machine with
Clock Cleaning Concentrate - Non-Ammoniated or the Ammoniated is what I use to clean the clock works.
You are always at your best with cuckoo clocks 👍👏👏
Thank you so much Lakhbir Kaur.
Are you not oiling the pivots in your clocks?
The only thing I don't oil is the gong and lift wire arms. Maybe I don't show it on here or my hand is in the way again. Even after oiling, getting the clock timing correct is also important. Thanks for stopping by Jack Yavno
I have a Cuckoo Clock that I have moved the pendulum all the right up is there something else I need to look at for adjusting?
Not knowing anything about your clock or what you have done with it, but if you are trying to get the clock to run faster, moving the pendulum up is the right thing to do. If it is still too slow, then it would be a good time to take the movement out and oil both sides of the clock and maybe blow out the dust. This is what they recommend if your clock still runs. If the clock stops, they recommend you clean the movement because the old oil has turned to a thick, shellac and dust build up. Hope this help you Mike.
@@justmike57 I think I have finally got it I had to move the pendulum up pass all the notches to holed it in place a little piece of tape so far has done the trick I'm thinking someone has changed the pendulum wire and it is to long but I not sure I know what I'm even talking about lol but think you for the reply I've really learned a lot from your videos. I will blow it out and see if that does the trick too.
Memories of Days Past! Well Done!!
Most of us that remember these cuckoo clocks have grey hair now. Still, very cool to see one working again Bootleg Custom Shop.
Nice video my friend very informative and interesting good job stay safe and God bless your family always. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thanks, you too my friend.

Yes it has been a while my friend.
Thanks Mike ....that video was so helpful. Im about to attempt to get my parents old Cuckoo Clock working again.
You can do it! Just take your time and a few deep breaths and don't get nerves. Go to my playlist to see more of the cuckoo clock videos for more ideas on how the clock works. .
How do you tell if it is a 1 day or 8 day clock?
A few ways you can tell for the most part. 8 day has a larger size chain... but there are some 1 day clocks, with age, that are also large chain. Also the weight, if you have them with the clock. For me, I have a lot of clocks and I try different weights to see which one makes the cuckoo or music sound right. I don't think you can really tell by the markings on the works that I know of Michael Shenhouse.
@@justmike57 One day has 3 gears in the time train; 8-day has 4 gears in the time train.
This was amazing👍
Thank you Inzu baba
Great video. What areas do you oil? I assume you don't go overboard with the oil, but is there a specific oil you do use for cuckoo's?
You oil on the front and back plate where the gear ends go through. You need less then a drop of oil and if you get to much oil on, take a Kleenex and dab it off. Oil attracts dust and dust with oil is what stops your clock from working. They do sell Clock Oil. You can look it up on line for a clock parts site or they also sell it on E-bay.
@@justmike57 Ok, thanks. I'm sure thats whats going on with mine. It worked for a couple years, then it quit. Every time I start the pendulum again, it quits after a few minutes. So I'm going to do what you did. Disassemble, clean, oil certain points and hopefully that will work. Thanks again
Thank you for this detailed video. I picked up my first cuckoo clock and I'm studying up on them in order to clean and repair it. My dad repairs clocks and I'm excited to learn about it as well. What is the cleaner you soak the gears in?
I use a Clock Cleaning Concentrate. The first I started with was the Ammonia type then switched to the non-ammonia because I have a sonic cleaner now and hard to transport it outside. If you need parts and cleaners, I will give you the link here. Download their catalog for free. www.ronellclock.com/
@@justmike57 thank you! I look forward to watching more of your clock videos and learning more about cleaning and repairing clocks.
