Hey everyone, wanted to let you know the cuckoo clock I bought in Switzerland a couple of years ago is on sell at Ebay. It is started at only 10 bucks. I...
Hi I'm new to your group. I collect A. Frankfield cuckoo clocks ( amoung others). He was the first American cuckoo clock maker, cir. 1886. He made mantle and...
I have always wanted a larger cuckoo clock like one I saw at a clock shop several years ago. It measured about 16 X 12 or so. But they are expensive and I...
Hi, Mandolin player. I don't know of any 'kit' cuckoos, but 'new-old' clocks are always appearing on eBay. Those which need the most repair often go the ...
Three sources for the clock movements are: S. La Rose, Inc, www.slarose.com Time Savers www.timesavers.com Merritt's www.merritts.com Jon www.time-traveler.com...
Hello, I just was given a "new" cuckoo clock. I love the thing but do not know the first thing about them. It appears to have never been used but it has no...
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...
Hello, Steve. I'd suggest advancing the minute hand just until the clock strikes, then remove the nut that holds the hand, and try turning the hand over so...
Hey Guys! I just bought a new Anton Schneider 8-day movement clock and I have a problem. When the cuckoo calls, it sounds like he's had too much beer at ...
1st thing to check is the weights. Are they the proper weight for the clock, and is the weight in it's proper order? For sure there are other things to cause...
Thanks Joe, These are the weights that came direct from the factory when I received it yesterday - they have the number "260" on each - they are much larger...
Joe, in fact, when I pull down on the weight as the cucko is calling, it sounds a lot better - but these appear to be the correct weights for this clock. ... ...
Hello Lyle. 8-day cuckoos will have much larger weights than one-day clocks. The 260 gram weights seem more appropriate to a 30-hour clock than your 8-day...
Joe - well, the weights are the size you describe - they are HUGE compared to my one-day clock - I wonder what's going on? ... day ... clock than ... made a ...
jOE - I bet that the weights have 1260 and not 260 on them but I'm not at home to check - any other ideas? ... <rrloesch@j...> ... adding ... weights ... ...
OK, Lyle. Sounds like the weights are correct. I think if you look a little closer, you'd see that they say "1260" not "260". Anyway, I'd open up the back...
Get this! According to "GermanMarketplace", Aton Schneider Co had DELIBERATELY slowed down the cuckoo call to more closely match the actual bird call - does...
Hello Lyle. I have no knowledge of what a REAL cuckoo bird sounds like! I have lots of experience with cuckoo CLOCKS, from the mid 19th century to new,...
Well Bob, the fine folks at GermanMarketplace (Reinhold is the gentleman's name) are going to provide me with a sound bite of the new, slower cuckoo call so I...
I've always liked cuckoo clocks, it must be the gadget gene in my. recently, I've decided to get one. I found this group and I've looked through the archives,...
