Comment from : @DanielDiesner-y8u6s

Is there a video on the oiling process?
Comment from : @raysar6912

How did you clean this clock? If you used an ultrasonic cleaner, what would you recommend to most folks that don't have an ultrasonic? Is there a aerosol spray of some sort that you would recommend?
Comment from : @NewbergUSA

Nicely done! A very helpful tutorial I'm sure many have benefited from this Thanks
Comment from : @andygarron3291

Bellows Not bellow A bellows is a device that pumps air, not two loud shouts from a buffalo
Comment from : @gregallred5571

Thank you so much for this video I am living in the Black Forest and couldn‘t find a video in German that explains the dismanteling and reassembling so perfectly Grandma‘s old clock will soon work again
Comment from : @MichaelaReuter-kr7tn

The video i needed Thank you I bought a vintage clock missing the to of the left below along with the attached wires
Comment from : @vdubing01

What cleaning solution and type of oil do you use? And what’s the cleaning process?
Comment from : @mallaryfrassinelli2347

The bellows in my clock are glued in place How do I proceed? I have tried to gently remove them but I am afraid of damaging them or the side walls
Comment from : @janineboyd6060

Thank you for showing me how to so this correctly I'll try it later on when my cookcoo clock needs a service
Comment from : @dazzfromaus4797

Great video I do have a question What would cause the door not to close completely after the bird goes back into the house
Comment from : @davidlatif7829

Comment from : @imsaint007

Comment from : @zaidaperez9783

I have a 3 weight coocoo clock, and Ive been told by my grandfather not to pull the weights too far up, but I accidently pulled the left weight near the top Will the clock be ok or does it require dissembling and reesembling?
Comment from : @piccolodaimojr2986

Thank you! I actually have one that you showed at the beginning I’m looking forward to getting it working brbrI didn’t see which side the weights should be on
Comment from : @yogamomma7163

Thank You for the instruction video brThe change in mine was pulled to tight Would you advise me how to I fix without spending 200$ for repair?
Comment from : @gemini2s

Excellent videothank you The only thing that bothers me is that the pendulum only works when the clock is uneven on the wall brThe clock in this video is almost identical as mine
Comment from : @rodmcintosh5902

Excellent video! So helpful!
Comment from : @davidbrick626

hi im trying to repair a cuckcoo clock but the right hand wheel wont turn when i put the the chain and weight on
Comment from : @thomashorabin7554

Why does it seem like all the pieces are not coming off the whole bar is pulling out when I try to pull the minute hand off
Comment from : @benfleck6081

Awesome video, I have exactly the same clock looking forward to servicing it
Comment from : @harolddsouza9643

But how did you clean the clock movement?brDisassembly and reassembly information is helpful if I also know how to clean the movementbrWithout knowing how to clean the movement, the dis and re information is unusable!brPlease, at least give a short verbal description of the cleaning method
Comment from : @johnbiteme9118

My friend! Thank you so much for this video My stepfather bought this exact model clock at a yard sale for my mother 15 years for $10 But it came completely unassembled He passed before he got a chance to put it together This has actually really piqued an interest in horology for me I will be assembling it as soon as I can repair one broken bellow Best walkthrough tutorial ever!
Comment from : @robinholmes8390

My grandma had a cuckoo clock and I managed to get it out
Comment from : @Lavelo_from_Tox_n_Lav

my cuckko o is not coming out very far i have just fitted a complete new mechanism
Comment from : @drmisfit

I normally watch watch repair, seeing the size difference really messed with my brain
Comment from : @jackmuchukot7201

hey man great tutorial but can you tell me how much these weights way its a regula 25 ive heard they use different weights some 275g some 320g and some 420g
Comment from : @alexoshhh

Great video! My cuckoo clock is quite old and probably needs parts I was wondering if you fix other peoples clocks for a fee?
Comment from : @flightharbinger7218

Love your video, just bought an old cuckoo clock , the second chain it keeps running loose and the door doesn’t close once the cuckoo strikes Any tips on what I should look for to fix it ? My cuckoo is similar as the one on your video Thank you 👍
Comment from : @adrianos973

interesting thanks i see that this clock only has two weights - correct? i've seen a clock with three weights and wonder what the difference i have not had a chance to take that clock down from the wall and check its innards
Comment from : @pt4242

What steps can i take if the reset switch doesn’t activate the clock?
Comment from : @StevePaech

Thank you so much The chain came off one of my spockets I was able to fix it using your detailed video Awesome!
Comment from : @smurphy8168

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen produced, and your "Mister Rodgers" affect is enough to want me to build a cuckoo clock repair shop! Thank you so much!
Comment from : @maitai1180

Do you have a physical location for repair?
Comment from : @dogbreath180

When cleaning the movement (gears) what is the best oil to use and best way to use it…also if the clock isn’t currently running once it’s all cleaned how to I test to see if it’s back to working?
Comment from : @hunterbates9539

Great video! After watching, it looked easy enough and it was Hopefully mineral oil I used for lube won't mess things up⏳
Comment from : @whitestroke1

Merhaba bende de sizdeki guguklu saatin aynısı var fakat sarkacı ve kozalağı yok Size zahmet sarkacın uzunluğunu ölçer misiniz? Sarkacın ve kozalağın Ağırlığı ne kadar? kaç gram? Kendim yapmak zorundayım😢
Comment from : @burakdag7976

This was highly enjoyable to watch! Mystery solved! ❤
Comment from : @abstractvlog

Awesome tutorial , this is my second Cuckoo Clock that I can service myself thanks to you and other people on these platforms
Comment from : @EivinSukoi

This helped me understand the mechanics of the clock, its parts and how to inspect it to see everything is running ok Great video shots by the way!
Comment from : @CedricSantizo

I had brought cuckoo clock in 2011 however never used recently installed Cuckoo is coming only once and making only one time sound even any hour Eg if 3 o’clock it’s sound only once
Comment from : @adarshsrivastava9996

Comment from : @kj5521

Comment from : @emilvaduva2758

Hi I have just brought a clock with this same movement Can you tell me which chain holds the weights For instance if I am looking from the front Mine came without chains on Thanks Phil
Comment from : @Pip1966-xf9nn

Nice video, I appreciate you taking the time here My clock has a lever on the right side to silence the clock I cannot get the workings out because of this lever Any suggestions? brThanks!
Comment from : @russm8488

I have used this great tutorial again and again to remind me what I am doing each time It never speaks too far above my expertise, but also never talks down to me, while still covering everything I needWell done!!
Comment from : @brianfooshee4368

What type of clock stand are you using?
Comment from : @johnfindley1188

I have such a clock after my grandpa, who was a watchmaker Its bird has even movable wings! But I definitely need to eventually wash the movement and oil it because it has some trouble to open the door
Comment from : @twkolejofil

I have 2 that i bought used, am goi g to attempt, thank you for this info!
Comment from : @ILIKEUALOT

The cuckoo's call is too fast or the pine cone is too heavy or you have to adjust it so the gear turns slower for the friendly cuckoo's call 👌
Comment from : @lucasferronii1961

Hello, please what is the weight of the ballast in the chain?
Comment from : @LOLO-vu9qi

Very good

Thanks!

What is the link to thar screw holding screwdriver?
Comment from : @legsofsteel1

Most helpful! Having had some success in re-animating a friend's eighteenth-century longcase clock, I have been asked to do the same service for her cuckoo clock which appears very similar to this one; I should now be able to work with confidence (once I can get it off the wall; somebody seems to have glued it there!) I was interested to see that the striking mechanism is of the 'snail and rack' type rather than the older 'count-wheel' which is still found in many cheap clocks even after 1900 On the other hand, the method of adjusting the pendulum bob up and down is extraordinarily crude; by contrast, even the cheapest kitchen clock has a threaded nut or thumbscrew below or within the bob
Comment from : @olivermundy4220

Really enjoyed that, thank you
Comment from : @gaiuscoleman8815

Thankyou for shearing One question: does the coucou sounds the hours? I mean it sounds one time at one o’clock, two sounds at two o’clock, etc etc or always it sounds twelve times?
Comment from : @davidestocchero9445

Thanks so much for the very clear step by step detailed explanation to help me revitalize my 3 cuckoo clocks and unlock some of the mysteries of their operation
Comment from : @josephgallo9422

Would anyone know why the cuckoo would shake when the new hours arrives for it to ring
Comment from : @zacharyanguiano4232

Ok
Comment from : @gbclaudio11

Excellent walk-through It's amazing how similar this and the other two clocks I have worked on before are The design sure has stabilized through the years :-)
Comment from : @foxpup

Mine doesn’t work I might try this
Comment from : @Compact-Disc-CD

Hi Sir, I saw your video, I also have this cuckoo clock which is made in Germany, it was running fine for many years but the clock is still running fine, cuckoo is not ringing, I opened it and poured kerosene After cleaning it and setting it again, the clock is working, the cuckoo still hasn't worked, the bell paper is also fine
Comment from : @rakeshchoahan

Got a clock from a friend that was missing the bellow lift wires Obtained two replacement wires from a repairman but I don't know how to determine proper length of each wire It is a Regula movement stamped 25/76 so I know it is a one day clock Any advice or direction to an applicable video
Comment from : @davidduff7690

disassembly, i tought movement was going to be taken apart and cleaned, and reassembly, nothing was shown, not good!!!
Comment from : @viridiana256072

have one from my dad 45 years and still sings
Comment from : @simonnomis5302

I just tried my hand at an old 1 that never worked Started repairing other parts like the crown, the numerals( making my own ) i washed the cuckoo as per guidance from YT videos, but it stopped working The escape wheel seems to jump a teeth all of sudden
Comment from : @jacqueso8424

NOTE: if the clock is an antique do not use a can of compressed air They no longer contain just air, and you don't want to spray a valuable antique with chemicals
Comment from : @mattjones5987

Thanks for the video, really helpful!
Comment from : @leog3062

So glad I found this, I’ve got an old clock that I found in a thrift shop that I want to breathe new life into It thankfully has the pendulum and a weight, but I’m uncertain as to how many weights it should have I’d also like to know how to identify the clock, it only states that it’s made in Germany on the mechanism, and there’s a “41” written on the inside
Comment from : @sleepyvessel1848

Very good work, podoba się!
Comment from : @SAModzielnie

I do not know if you watch your comments but I have a question about a cuckoo clock of mine that I am tryign to repair its a 25-86 series, I had to replace the verge and clutch (I think that is what it is called) got it on and now put back together using your videos but now the clock makes a clicking sound but no other sounds The bellows do not bellow and it has me puzzled If you can help me it would be appreciated
Comment from : @morganus62

I recently bought my first cuckoo clock off ebay Seller said it works nice but needs to be properly cleaned and oiled But I have no idea exactly how to do that except try learning by watching videos like your's The pendulum won't stay swinging I can't remember hearing the gong sound when it coo cood The seller didn't know if it was 1 day or 8 day The weights say 1500 et How can you tell if it's 1 day or 8 day cuckoo clock?brThank you
Comment from : @bluebonnetjasmine969

It's genuinely fascinating to me how much thought has to go into a functioning cuckoo clock that can count each hour, on the hour, and remain accurate
Comment from : @jollygrapefruit786

Thanks for the video, very informative! I have exactly the same clock and somehow the right chain doesnt hold the weight and falls off the chain is correctly in the gears, but somehow the gears do not hold the weight Any idea what could cause this?
