I was asked to look at this small cuckoo clock. The chain had fallen off and she got it back on, but the cuckoo bird didn't come out anymore and cuckoo the hour and she had a problem with the clock not running very long and stop.
After playing with the clock a bit I didn't find anything wrong with the clock. When I hung the clock, I used a lever on the side of the clock and it ran perfect. The clock even cuckooed for me when turning the hands. For the new owner, she didn't realize how that silencer lever really worked. Also she said the whistle boxes were glued on.
While I had the clock, I preyed the Whistle Boxes off, took the movement out and oiled it on the front and the back after blowing it out, put the clock back together and did not glue the whistle boxes back in, I used a nail like it should have been in the beginning.

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.
