My husband and I don't know much about clocks at all, so we are hoping that somebody on this board can help us with this one. My husband purchased a Mi-Ken...

I'm not familiar with Mi-Ken clocks, but the German cockoo clocks have a slidinf leak on the pendulum. Move it up to speed the clock up, and move it down to...
Thank you for your help Time Traveler. We had already figured out the oak leaf thing (it is the same as the German clocks) and it is now keeping time like a...

Hello Steve. The first thing is to make sure that the hook or fixture that the clock is hanging from is secure! I've seen too many cuckoos that are trashed ...
In re-reading my own post, I find that I have admonished you to verify that your clock is "in beat", but I neglected to tell you how to put in beat if it...
Bob, Thank you for the help and information. My clock seems to be in great condition, but no "pendulum" came with it. I suppose that is why it was running so...
Hello Bob, I did receive delivery of my new pendulum from Timesavers. Thanks for the great help. Now I have another question. The pendulum has regulated the...
