- Should you buy that Cuckoo Clock you found at the thrift store or garage sale? I try to explain what the value is in the clock and different Cuckoo clocks and a hint of the cost of parts. This is for the people that want to fix their own clock and not take it into a clocksmith that would shock you on the price to even look at your clock. Sorry, no technical names of the parts, just what a normal person that just wants their own clock to work again.

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. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thankyou you Mike for sharing the love you have of repairing cuckoo clocks.
Thank you and thanks for stopping in Mrs Green Thumb.
I could watch you all day. I learn so much. I just bought 10 broken cuckcoo and novelty clocks to learn on. Bought old used parts, a new ultrasonic cleaner. I’m either going to learn or makes costly mess! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. My dream clock is the old American clock company cuckcoo with the eagle head crest.
That is awesome! The more time you can get under your belt on working on these clocks, the better you will get at it and start to know what to look for when something is wrong with the clock or when putting the movement back together.
Also remember that if you mess up on one, now you have the knowhow of what you did wrong and you can still fix it to make it right.
Wow, it's great that you're able to repair and preserve these treasured pieces, I am sure your skill is very rewarding. Nice video share and keep up the good work Mike! Like +, stay safe and well.
Thank you very much! It takes a little patience and time to work on these old clocks, but when you have them running again it makes you feel so good inside Cindy Richard.
You are skillful sir bec. you were able to repair the clock it looks unique to me and your first shirt looks ok to me. Thanks. Keep safe my friend.
Thank you very much! The reason I changed shirts, is because it's a different day, lol, but didn't want to tell anybody. God Bless TAT General Services.
Some good information Mike. My Mom had one when I was growing up. I need to find out where it is now. Thanks for sharing this. Take care bud!
There have been a lot of cuckoo clocks with memories. Sad thing is that most have been given to the thrift stores or clock shops that said the clock was toast and the people believed them and left the clock behind. Just a few sad stories. Hope you find that Cuckoo Clock BBQ PIT DOG. God Bless and have a great week.
Mike good morning hope you’re doing wonderful I appreciate you teaching us about cuckoo clocks. Have a wonderful blessed day
And a very Good Morning to you Will the Rocker Will. I am doing much better now and I do love to show people and give them an idea about Cuckoo Clocks.
Beautiful clock. My parents used to have a cuckoo clock when I was very young. Have a good week Mike 🙂😺
There are a lot of us that remember the Cuckoo Clocks when growing up. Some fancy and some not, but still they all are cool Zoey and Noodles.
Thank you, just came across your channel. Bought a clock, wasn't sure what was missing until I saw you explain.
Glad I could help. Nothing wrong with seeing if you can get the clock running again.
Very good presentation on the clocks. I really need to get one for my mobile home, I have misplaced my Black Forest it will show up one day while cleaning I am sure. thanks for sharing!
The last place you told me was in the storage shed in back that you though might get flooded that year. That would be cool to have one in the mobile home The Drifter.
Nice video talk on what you take into account When deciding to buy a Cuckoo clock. Enjoyed thoroughly. Full A++
Glad it was helpful ABs Food.
I Have ALWAYSSSSS wanted a Cuckoo Clock BAD!!!! I have been trying to find one, they are always broke. Glad I found your channel... I love those Clocks sooooooo much ! Have a great day!
Really enjoyed this video. Very informative on pricing and worth of the clocks.
Thank you Only Roy. It is interesting how fast the cost can go up if to many things are missing and or broke.
Hi Mike🌟so happy to see you🌟love the video 🌟what a beautiful Cuckoo Clocks♥️Stay safe
These are clocks I am repairing for a couple other people. The one in the picture for the video was the easiest to repair Daveda Lane.
Mike it's great that you're able to repair the clock 💜
Yes it is and also now others can try their hand at repairing their cuckoo clocks soulfoodqueen.net.
Lol 😂 I cannot help but laugh about that t-shirt you crack me up 😂 ! Changed wardrobe lol u crack me up 😂 !

Thanks for your advice, things to think about before deciding to restore a clock for the first time.
Glad to help Rod and thanks for watching the video.
I never knew anything about Cuckoo clocks until i found your channel, since then I been on the lookout for them at local garage sales and so :)
You might be surprised when you find your first clock, but at a garage sale, you almost have to be there early Brockonairs.
Thanks for the great tips! I treasure my one day woodworker cuckoo clock as it frequently is a conversation starter when we have company over.
That is awesome! Not to many people get to see them anymore Ja Mag. God Bless.
By the way, I watched your Cocolla video, that was a close call.
@@justmike57 Thank you for watching. Yes, some motorists are not very kind or do not pay attention to cyclists. Thanks again.
Nice video. it is rally nice clock. Two thumps up for you MIKE
It's great watching somebody that knows what they're doing eBay is great for working and fixing project restorations. Thanks so much for your time and consideration.
You are very welcome. The thing about E-Bay is you have to snipper bid because others get the fever of someone over bid them and then the end result will be you over paid for the clock.

Awesome information video! Cococlocks are awesome. I have a few aniversary clock , I like the way they chime. I thought the blue t daffy duck shirt was cute. God bless 🙏🏼Stay safe hugs ❣
The battery Anniversary clocks are nice with the music in them. I have a few of both kinds, battery and wind-up. I had to give a reason of changing shirts because this was the next day Susan Lee, lol.
@@justmike57 lol on the shirt. I hear your clocks when you are on mgt at times. Sound so nice to the ears. ❣
Got my thrift store find all restored and working properly. Using the techniques on this channel. I took out the movement and soaked in ammonia overnight. Then I oiled all the pivot points with synthetic car oil. Using a toothpick. Then I set the gong striker as per the instructions on your other vid. The bellows were working but not fully dropping down so they gave a weak sound. I taped a penny to the top to add some more weight to each bellows. That worked. Next adventure is to fashion new bellows using a Tyvek mailing envelope, as per another vid. I'd like to eliminate those pennies.
This is a nice clock, all white. Haven't seen a white one yet on ebay. It's a keeper.
This is great to here Mike. I have an all white one with the white weights and pendulum. The reason you had to put the penneys on the top of the Bellows is because it was taken down and the bellows were left open to long. In time you will be able to take the penneys off. I do want to say good luck on the Tyvek on the bellows. I just didn't have the patients for that part of the clock repair.
Great T-Shirt lol Nice that someone sen't you the clock. lol new shirt
I have to come up with a reason for changing my shirt. This was the next day, lol, Nana's Cookingcraftcorner.

You are so right. The Cuckoo Clock is my favorit. Not an expert, but know enough to keep myself out of trouble, lol. Thank you so much my friend. God Bless and keep on smiling Cat Roxy Rocker Kitty.
@@justmike57 do they still make cuckoo clocks?
Thanks for a casual yet very informative cuckoo clock video. Yes, they are turning up at garage and yard sales. I just got a SCHNEIDER 8 day small clock with a REGULA movt. I'm familiar with hand tools. But I don't know my way around mechanical clocks. So I have a friend who is an outstanding Clock Maker. She replaced the broken wooden hands with metal ones, glued the front carved frame, and gave it her blessing. I can see why some folks are passionate about cuckoo clocks. We now have a "new family member" ticking away in our dining room. Please do an update video anytime.
Very happy to hear we have a new cuckoo clock lover. Just the idea of a clock with motion and sound got my attention and fascination of the wonderful clocks
@@justmike57 Yes you do! It's a basic sturdy Schneider 8 day with two weights on a REGULA brass movt. I had the hands replaced, decorative frame glued back on, and I installed a topper that matches the cross & leaf front frame. Hanging off a heavy duty screw deep into the wall, it's our new member of the family I hope for years to come. More power to you! Keep helping us understand more about Black Forest cuckoo clocks small and simple, and large with dancers, moving figures and music boxes too.
Thanks for the video 🐦👍

Thank you very much Brian J. Mader. So great to hear where others are from. I am here in Washington State. God Bless.
Nice info, just got one almost identical to the music box one you have there.
I like the ones that have more than one tune in the clock pcdubya. All in all, I like them all.
That’s one cool shirt. You really have to appreciate Daffy Duck. I grew up watching those cartoons on Saturday mornings. That is one good looking clock. I want one of those.
I do like Daffy Duck, but the real reason I changed shirts is because it was the next day Heritage Farms Texas, lol.
I very seldom find anybody at garage sales or second hand stores selling cuckoo clocks but I love clocks that chime or make make noise hubby hates them so I keep them to a minimum but would love to have a room with just clocks and sewing/ crafts. Thanks for sharing!
There are so many that can't stand any kind of noise, even the ticking will bother people and don't understand why. As time goes on, you see less and less of these cuckoo clocks at the thrift shops Prepsteading with Nana Benda.

Hello Mike.. Stopping by watching your nice video. Fully support. Stay safe and see you soon Thank you.
Thanks for coming Narsisius Justin Misin and I will see you soon.
Hi just Mike I’m new here nice video I just support your channel Mike
Thank you Charlie Sees All. I will be by to check out your channel as well.
I have 3 working clocks on my walls that all came from thrift stores. I was lucky as all they needed was cleaning and oiling. I recently made another thrift store purchase of two clocks in really bad shape, but for $8 I figured they would be a cheap experiment to try some more of your in depth techniques. I'll either learn a lot, or I've only lost $8. Worth a shot.
You are doing the right thing, finding clocks cheap, buying them for the experience and if you break them, look at all the fun you had and hopefully learn what you might have done wrong and can you still fix your mistake. I am proud of you. If you start looking for parts, I will give you two main places I buy my parts. The first is Ronell clock company. You download their catalog for free and call or mail your order in. www.ronellclock.com/
The second place is Frankenmuth Clock & German Gift Co. frankenmuthclock.com/
You just order on line with them.
Thanks for all of your videos. I there a way when you look at it at the store if the clock movement works or not?
It all depends on the store. Some throw the clock in a box and sell it, then others will put the clock in a clear bag that you can't get into. Most the time I check to see what the clock does when I pull on the chain and move the minute hand to the hour. Also it is easy enough to get the chains back on to test the clock by turning the clock upside down and fiddle with the chain to get it back on the winding wheel.
nice sharing to found clock , stay safe and healhty myy friend
Thank you Boundless Creative and you stay safe as well, God Bless.

Hi mike barb again I followed your instructions on the clock going off way before the hand hits the 12 your advice worked and I had no doubt. I am fixing a clock with a music box and I adjusted the music box it would not shut off. The problem is when the bird comes out the wheel the people sit on shakes to the cuckoo. And it only shakes when it hits the hour. Your expert advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Mike . This clock is a hummal clock and I am fixing it for a friend
The Music box is what makes the people move like dancers. One of the levers will trip the music to get it ready to play, the other smaller wire is there to stop the fan, governor, Like a warning pin, and after the cuckoo stops making noise, the lever will pull out of the way and let the fan move now.
@@justmike57 I think I know what you are talking about mike . Thank you so much for your great advice I learn so much from your videos you’re the best I’ve seen

Cuckoo clocks are interesting to see them tick and watch them pop out the hour. The bonus would be if they have the music also in the cuckoo clock Subliminal.
Looks nice clock friend
It is a nice looking cuckoo clock Rubia Family. Thanks for stopping by.
I have many chiming clocks in the house so i reserve the cuckoo for sundays and special days.😁
I totally understand not having all the clocks running all the time. And it is a good thing to run the clocks every once in a while so the oil doesn't gum up inside.

I don't repair watches NGUYỄN SƠN MIỀN TÂY. My eyes are not good enough and would take even more special tools to work on them. Cuckoo clocks have bigger gears and parts, so much easier to see what might be wrong with the clock.
I would go nuts listening to any clock ticking, the only way I could have a coo coo clock is have a picture of it hanging on the wall.

The music box looks so intricate $90 bucks I can see that. Haven’t been to thrift store in a while but I’ve never seen a cuckoo clock in there
I just wish I could take the music box out of the thrift store music boxes and use them, but they are not the same. I have found one in a thrift store and three at Goodwill store. I don't thrift store shop now because they require you to wear a mask. Thanks for stopping in Jacqueline Brown.
Mike where can l find the little keys that wind up the little cuckoo clocks ( l got it at Disneyland about 20 years ago , also the little gold pendulum that came with it😉Thanks Mike🌟

Thanks for the visit Zareen Remendies
Well it was a nice presentation....l have a cuckoo clock here with pendulum not functioning and nobody were able to fix it up over here in coimbatore india....They say coil is gone .
I am not sure what you are talking about. The only Coil is the gong when the bird cuckoo's. And for the pendulum, I have a video coming out on problems you might have with the pendulum that might help you coming out soon. If you have pictures of your problem, I have my email below the video Balaji Krishnan.
Man I love you parts prices ... where are you shopping? I can’t find bellows tops cheaper than $20
www.ronellclock.com/ This is where I buy most of my supplies for the cuckoo clocks Jason. They have changed their site, but you can download their catalog for free.
I bought a cuckoo clock at a thrift store 2 days ago. $15. It's in excellent condition cosmetically, the bird and gong and bellows work correctly, all the parts are there and clean. But the pendulum swings for maybe 20 seconds before petering out. It's an August Schwer 1 day model , no music. I came to this channel to learn about these clocks, and to figure out how to fix it. I'm going to remove the movement using what I've learned on this channel. Maybe just cleaning and oil?
When you start the pendulum, do you listen for the Tick Tock sound to make sure the sound is even. On these clocks, people forget and take them down and push the pendulum up inside the clock and bend the rod, Sept. 15, I have a video coming out on this problem.
Another thing you can do is move the minute hand. Is it stiff? If so, spin it around clockwise for about three of four times and see if it will run then. It might be a temporary fix or just needed to move the old oil around a bit.
Hope this help you Mike G.
Nice
Thanks Jenjen Major. God Bless
Oh I was about to ask what the rabbit was! One less question!! 😉 Did u know I was in Germany twice? I got to see some absolutely beautiful and extravagant cuckoo and grandfather/mother clocks and other really wonderful wood work from the Black Forest!💖 We actually bought a shrunk while there & still have it. Are you part German? Maybe that's why u like the clocks so much!😁 Take care, Mike!💖
Yes, I do believe you said that in your journey. You were blessed to see other places than like most people don't even get to far out to town. Yes, I do have some German in my blood, the polish side. I just like the cuckoo clocks because of the sound of the bird and music. And to get them back operating the way when they were new Misha Lea. Thanks so much for stopping in and all the beautiful stories and questions you have had. God Bless you and your family.
Misha, I liked Mikes shirt today!
Mike I just got a giant chalet for $100, but one bellow has no holes and works on another bellow whistle but Is not working on the current one which is tightly glued, what do I do?
Hey Nathan Wayne, not exactly sure what you are talking about. If the whistle is glued to the case, like I have seen before, you have to just pray and pry it off carefully with a small screwdriver or putty knife to help cut the glue from the wood case. I have an email below the video if you would like to send pictures and explain better. Thanks for stopping by with a good question.

Thank you very much Parrot Gamer.
Hi very nice video happy day too like 👍🧡
Thank you so much Welcome to Kratai Kitchen
I bought a Japanese reproduction for 2$ its identical to the one your holding at 11:05 but it dosent work and I have all the parts. I'm not going to sell it but what do you think its worth? awesome video thanks!
ps. whats your opinion on quartz replacement with the cuckoo being from speakers?
I would say it is worth more selling it, piece by piece. This clock isn't really a very expensive clock because of its size. I would say this clock working could get you $100 or more on ebay.
I don't really like battery works for cuckoo clocks. I have only tried to work on one and could not get it to work right. Some people just don't want to wind their clocks every day, and that's alright. Just do what makes you happy. (By the way, I don't like the water and cuckoo echo sound of the battery cuckoo works)
Big like your video friend.
Thanks for the visit Karawang Channel 7
Hey, I'm on the process of repairing a chalet cuckoo clock that I just got. I have noticed that the music plays on the half hour and hour, thing is it's not supposed to play on the half hour, so the weight drops further than the other two. How can I fix this? Thank you!
I don't have a picture of your works, but there should be a wire that will trigger the music to play, that wire should have about a 1/4 or so resting through the arm that triggers the music so it doesn't pull the arm on the 1/2 hour after cuckooing Horror Nerd13
