Antique cuckoo clock movement

Here you can see how a movement of a cuckoo clock works.
This movement is from a Antique cuckoo clock,the flutes are replaced for new ones.

There is an instrument

I find these antique cuckoo clocks are made much better made than the modern ones. Much thicker plates and no plastic wheels. I have an antique cuckoo quail clock, that I restored, for my self, weight driven, so 30 hour duration. The bird goes and out at every bellow sound, there is a cam on the strike side of the movement to allow for this. The plates are about 1/8th thick. I have repaired a Regula musical modern cuckoo clock for a customer and it isn't a patch on the antique ones. Thin plates and some plastic wheels on the minute wheel etc. The spring driven cuckoo quail clocks run for about 8 days.

facts. the modern movements wear out faster too

@@JustMyClocks Yes I have just completed a triple fusee clock for a customer, the plates are about 1/4" thick. Modern movements are crap.

@@verybigkittens7550 regulas are greatly designed but badly built. i agree with you on the plates!

@@JustMyClocks after being rebushed they probably last longer. Especially using Bergeon bushes, and not Indian ones.

Where are the weighs for it?

[@omgfandomfan]

Does the chime also ring? I noticed the coil on the back of the door.

[@Marco49nl]

+omgfandomfan Yes you'r right. the coil is for the ring

[@watchmakerful]

The chime mechanism runs way too fast.

[@martinlarsson217]

How it works without Weights

[@Marco49nl]

It works with two springs

[@martinlarsson217]

@@Marco49nl what springs?!

@@martinlarsson217 Mantle and shelf cuckoo clocks are not very common in this day and age, but they still exist. I would love a new version for myself.

[@verybigkittens7550]

pity there isn't a view of the front of the cuckoo clock.

[@verybigkittens7550]

I have done one with a view of the front.
