Cuckoo Clock Oiling 

Thank you for the video. I was hoping hat the oil would work. I inherited a beautiful clock that was never maintained and so the clock experts quoted me $600.00 for parts (not including labor) He was looking at $1.k possibly sooooooo, I put it back in the box. I will try the oil after all it is only $10.00 and who knows..... will report if it gets working. Cheers All

Thanks so much for this video! Our clock is 6 years old and we have never oiled it. The weights won't go down, and the pendulum stops after just a few seconds. It hasn't run in over a year because I figured it would be a costly repair. I'm thinking this is my issue though, as we've never oiled it. Oil is arriving tomorrow. :) Thanks again!

You only oiled the back half not the front

I have the exact same make and mod clock. I love it

Each weight of your cuckoo clock weighs how much? And I would like to see the head of this clock

Oiling is helpful, but you need to remove any excess. You can do that with a piece of paper. Never overfill an oil reservoir. Oil can drip and make a mess as well as pull most of the oil out of a reservoir.

Hello! Thanks for the video. I just got the same clock. My question is what happens when the little people wouldn’t go around? The bird comes out at the clock hour but the people don’t move. Thank you.

The concerning thing is one of two pivots on each shaft is oiled. Hopefully it still works

it should be oiled from the front is its not this can damage pivots...ive had it happen

Why didn't you remove the works from the case? You only oiled one side of each shaft.

Do the chains need lubrication?

This is useless, first clean the clock, then polish the taps and, if the tap holes are bad, reuse them. When everything is done, a little oil can be added to the taps. In the video, dirty taps are provided with oil, which causes extra wear.😉
