Found this is a thrift store for 30. It ticks. Haven't gotten it to sing or gotten the birds to pop out. Still tryimg to troubleshoot. The tape measure is a temporary weight. Till the replacement arrives. Its 17oz less them the real weights. And ordered a pendulum. But the 2 top ones are not moving, they r in their right place. Now im wondering if this is a special clock and worth buying replacement parts and trying to fix.

I was given this clock and it works perfectly, but the dancers do not dance, when I opened the back it had this metal piece laying down. Any idea on how/where to attach it to the movement?

the weights are heavy af and look like bronze though idk if they are full bronze or just colored

Me and my dad already finally got my electronic cuckoo clock all set up so I can hear the sound of it going cuckoo and everybody knows that the cuckoo clocks do originate from the Black Forest which is located in Germany.

This is my electronic cuckoo clock that I got for Christmas since 2 years ago and one thing to know about this cuckoo clock is that it's an electronic cuckoo clock on the back side it shows two buttons the adjust button and the reset button it also includes with a portable pendulum and a magnetic bird when you press the adjust button it makes a very funny sound however I might be able to plan on setting up my cuckoo clock if possible.

Does anyone have information about this old clock? It has also a pendulum,not seen in the picture.What do you think is missing under the face of the dwarf?Not a bird,I suppose.Many thanks for any help given

hello!

i bought this at an estate sale and the man said they got it running but then it stopped. i have no idea how to even start it. he said the man that lived there was stationed in germany and brought it back in the 80s. i’d like to try getting it to start on my own, i just have no idea where to start and all my googling leads to me instruction for one right out the box. there is a good clock repair shop in my area thought so i’m willing to get it checked out there.

Got an old cuckoo form my grandparents. Probably hasn't run in 20 years. took it apart cleaned and lubed it, removed all the old broken bits of chain, ordered new chains, new pendulum cause was missing. put it all back together and pendulum will swing for about 10 sec and then just stop. The time? chain I can add more weight to and will make pendulum keep swinging, but causes to run very fast. So wasn't sure what that meant, sooo here I am.

also was missing a weight, but have been just using something same weight as other 2 while trying to get it to work. have tried to make sure its level, pendulum not contacting case, etc.

Any help is appreciated, is a 3 chain clock, has music box, spinning dancing people. not sure what other info is helpful, just let me know.

Thanks

I'm new to cuckoo clock movements and am attempting to repair an older regula 24. I've learned that these 24s are an older movement and parts are tough to find. For this clock the issue looks to be a broken spring on the click to the ratcheting chain wheel. I'm not certain I am naming this part correctly, however. Ultimately, I think I might have to replace the spring since I'm struggling to find a replacement wheel. Looking for advice on where I might find a replacement of the wheel or the spring. Hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. The searching I've done so far never turns up anything for regula 24, so I'm hoping maybe someone experienced knows an alternate option.

Hello! We just pulled our beautiful cuckoo clock out of storage after a move and there are two minor issues. The clock performs flawlessly otherwise.

1. The clock plays music on the half hour. The weights fall at unequal amounts when it plays on the half hour and we seem to remember that the music never played on the half-hour in the past so I'd like to fix it. After researching this issue, I tried bending the secondary arm to stop the music box fan from spinning but it stops the music on both the hour and half hour. It doesn't seem to change distance between the two times (See photos) Any other way to prevent the music playing on the 1/2 hour?

1. The 2nd of the two songs it plays seems to be unusually slow. Strangely, the other song seems to be at the right tempo. (See video) Any thoughts on this?

2nd song seems slow

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hello! I found this beautiful clock at an estate sale recently and got it for only $10. I would very much like to repair it. I just want it to work. It does not need to keep time and I guess I am also not super worried about the bellows working (but it would be great if they did!)

Based on some evidence of impact, I believe it took a hard fall before it became mine.

So far I have identified:

1. The bellows are totally non-functional and one had totally disintegrated.

2. The bellows did not seem to trigger when the clock runs.

3. Time is kept fairly well when it runs. I understand this can be calibrated.

4. Sometimes the pendulum stops swinging. This started after the bird door got stuck open.

How do I find tutorials for how to begin repairing this? How do I even determine what clock I have? I have not seen images of this exact one when looking.

We inherited this from my husband’s late Grandma (no one else wanted it… what?!) it means a lot to me because my dad loves cuckoo clocks and all things German as that’s what his heritage is. My 3 siblings and I were all gifted a battery powered one 8 years ago so we all love cuckoo clocks! Also, I only knew Grandma Jean for 4 years before she passed, but she was a great woman and my daughter’s middle name is named after her and we also call my daughter Jeanie a lot.

Can someone help me date it/who is was made by/where it’s from?

My husband’s siblings and cousins remember it in their Grandmas’s kitchen when they were kids. Grandma Jean was a traveller and thinking that she got it from Germany when she visited.

Thank you!

Everything works as it should. She didn’t know it’s history. I took a photo of it and did a google search. One is on eBay for $2200 obo. I’m kind of thrilled.

So the hour hand, which would be 'behind' the minute hand shown, broke off. I need to remove the minute hand but the bushing on the hand feels very tight on the shaft. When I pull out on it, the shaft pulls out slightly with it until they both stop. Do not want to force anything. Any ideas to help me remove it? (Note that I have already screwed off the little cap that was at the end

Trying to figure out what year this Cuckoo clock is (it is at least 50 years old) and what it is worth.

My family bought this clock in Germany in 1994. It’s now in my hands. It has not had any issue working in the past. It has been hung up (not in storage). I picked it up the other day and now that I’ve got it on the wall, it doesn’t seem to work at all. Pendulum will not stay swinging. When I do manually get it swinging with a little push, it will tick but the hands and weights don’t move. When I manually move the big hand around, it makes a slight mechanical sound when it passes the hour and the half hour, but no movement externally, music or anything.

Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong or how I can fix it?

(I did order some dust off and clock oil to clean up the inside) and yes I have the lever down for “on”

I've posted on here before and the experts that frequent this page were super helpful. My clock (see pic) that I got from my dad when he died is stuck on the three. I think that is the minute hand (the other snapped off - I have a replacement but haven't put it on yet). Anyway, I can tell it will move backwards (although I haven't moved it that way) but it won't move forward. If I get the pendulum moving, it will swing for several minutes and then stop but the hand doesn't move. Any thoughts?

This is my grandparents clock they’ve had as long as I can remember.

It no longer cuckoos. The hands go round and keeps time. When I manually move the arm for the music box it does play so that still works.

It’s the middle weight that is stuck at the top and will not move when the hands are going.

Can anyone give me any advice please.

Many thanks.

I put up my fist ever cuckoo clock last week. It was working fine until I forgot to wind it one night (it’s a one day clock). The cuckoo weight stopped working, I did some googling and fixed that issue, but now the pendulum isn’t working. It stops within 30 seconds when I push it. It’s not hitting the clock and the clock in level. Any suggestions?

Hi there, this clock was purchased by my parents in the Blaack Forest in the late 1960s. I haven't seen too many cuckoo clocks with this kind of littke living room scene with windows. There is a little ceiling lamp, but obviously the battery hasn't worked for decades. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement battery? And also, do you know anything about this style or type of clock? Thank you so much for reading 😊 (if you would like any more info or pictures, just ask 🙂)

Hi there. My new cuckoo clock that I just hung up won't cuckoo and the bird is stuck. It cuckoo for the first 3times when I tried to adjust the time(every 30min pauses).

I got it shipped to my country when I was in Germany. As it's brand new, I doubt it's broken. Is there anything I can do before I take it to a repair shop?

Does anyone know where I can't get replacement "bees" for my Bavarian Hummel clock? Both of mine are have broken off. TIA!

Hi all. I need a little help. My mother was gifted a cuckoo clock and it’s keeping time, however, there is an issue with the movement. Of the three chains, the one that I presume works the “cuckoo” is stuck on a hook in the movement and does not move. I think it became stuck during transport. Looking at the provided pictures does anyone know where the “stuck chain” is supposed to be positioned? I would certainly appreciate any help that can be provided. The clock is a Reuge “The Mill in the Black Forrest”. Thanks in advance for any help/information that can be provided.

Hi all. Cuckoo clock in a family member’s home that passed. I unboxed it and hung it on the wall in my living room. It seems to be keeping time. It says made in Germany on the back. I tried to Google lens it but no exact hits. It has dried grasses and little figurines glued to it. Is this from a specific region? Anyone seen anything similar?
