Hi All, Sorry for the late notice but tonight's Discovery network show "BIG" builds a 12' wooden works cuckoo clock. The show just completed here on the East...
Hi Henri. Nice to hear from you! My brother-in-law lives in Miami, so I've been following the news fairly closely. Glad you're OK. Be careful letting all...
I am in the process of restoring an old Herbert Herr clock. The leather bellows covering is ripped, and I want to replace it. I have seen pre-cut bellows...
Hi Tony. Take this advice as "worth what you paid for it"... ";-) A Hubert Herr couldn't be too much older than about 1910-20 or so at the oldest, and most...
... Of course. I'm kind of new at this, so I'm willing to make my mistakes with my earlier clocks. So far I have washed out the movement (did not dissassemble...
... What thickness do you buy for bellows, and do you order "soft" or "regular"? -Tony -- Hometown Enterprises Internet Services Professional, affordable web...
Hi Tony. Any of the thicknesses will be OK, as zephyr is THIN! The 'regular' grade is better for the bellows, as they have to be able to compress air....
... The ... to ... stiffeners ... necessary ... Thanks for the info, Bob. I went to the first link that you gave me, and I looked at the zephyr skin. There...
Hello again, Tony. ... I won't even get into the "ammonia-or-not" question! Some folks are positively rabid about it. Your cleaning solution is as good as...
Hi Tony. Thanks for reminding me about Columbia. I'd forgotten about them. N.B.: beware of fish glue! I've heard good and bad about it, although I've never...
I am new to collecting cuckoo clocks. I just purchased one from a yard sale. It looks to be in good shape. Needs a little tlc but, works fine. It has a trade...
Hi. Sorry to take so long to get back to you! Great hobby, these maddening little clocks! Be careful though; they seem to multiply in dark places... Dating...
Thanks for the info. Another question. The numbers on my cuckoo look almost like they were painted on. They are not raised up very much. Three of them are ...
Hi Jeff. Must use the old "age" excuse here... ";-) Just what was it we were talking about? I'm on about 50 email lists, several about clocks, and we'll just...
I have two Regula Cuckoo clocks that have dancers and music boxes that are suppose to dance on the hour and half hour. I can not seen to get the timing right. ...
For what it's worth, I've seen clocks with Regula movements which play on the hour and on the half, usually different tunes, once I found one that played the...
... On the one I'm working on, I have about a 3 minute play. I've tried turning the hand over with no luck. Can you retrofit one of those square bushings and...
Yes you can! Often, hand assortments contain some with and some without bushings. Select a proper-size hand, but with a square bushing, and you can adjust it...
The problem seems to be in the music box trip lever. Turning the hand over would not help, the bird does it’s thing at the proper time. I have tried to...
I have three 8 day cuckoo clocks running that I cleaned and oiled the movements. They run just fine until I lock the birds door to shut them up, then,...
Hi Steve. Dumb question #473: why do you want to shut them up? I have seven cuckoos running right now, two in the living room, three in my bedroom, and two...
Hi Steve, When I was a kid, we'd lock our bird safely in his nest every night and he was more than happy to squawk again in the morning ;^) I wish I had that...
Hello Henri. Good to hear from you. I've already addressed the 'stopping cuckoo' question myself, but I've got to comment on the white cuckoo. I have one...
Hi my name is Mike, I didn't think the clock would run with the doors locked. Have you tried not locking and see what will happen? Mike [Non-text portions of...
Hi Mike. Yes, the clock should run with the door locked. That's what the lock is for: to turn off the bird if desired. I'll have to try this, just to see if...
Henri, I'm assuming that maybe the movements are worn in my 8 day clocks then. That must be why they stop. They run just fine if I don't lock the bird's...
Hey people! I am pretty new to the group and I don't mean to be annoying, but I wanted to let all of you know I finally got my webcam back. It took a while to...
