![]() This is the side that pull to raise the weight on the other side of the chain loop. Also the side of the chain that there is no weight on can't be caught up on anything also. The chain that holds the weight should be straight from the ratchet wheel and down without rubbing anything. If the chain is rubbing anything like the hole in the bottom of the cuckoo case it will be just like not having enough weight to make it run. One weight controls the time and the other the strike. Clock chain resistanceīe sure nothing is in the way of the chain that drives the striking side of the cuckoo clock. Not all cuckoos have this feature as the manufacturer, silence the cuckoo just by locking the bird door. See a lever on the right as facing the back of the movement on the top side. Just look at the back of the clock with the back panel off and may see the silence switch. If the movement has a silence switch that does not stick outside of the case it may still be on the movement itself. Just move it to the opposite direction and see if the clock will strike out the cuckoo calls. Push it down for cuckoo on and up for cuckoo shut off usually. ![]() The location of this would be on the side of the cuckoo clock movement and stick outside of the clock case. There may be a silence lever if the cuckoo movement has one. Be sure it is out of the way so the door can open and it can cuckoo. You just turn it either in the way or out of the way of the door. This closes and locks into place.This is for either shipping the clock and also for chime shut off. Here are some guidelines on what to check in this situation. The bird will not come out and the clock will not indicate what time it is with the cuckoo call. Was made by the same shop or even the same person.When the new cuckoo clock movement will not go into striking mode for the hours. It locks the cuckoo between strikes or theīird would go all the way back in between strikes.Īny way, I had to look a couple times and only see slightĭifferences in the angle of the birds. The slot was just a tiny amount to smallĪnd I gave it a single stroke with my file. It was a real pain to adjust the cuckoo so the door didn'tīounce on each strike. I don't recall what the movement was in mine but recall It was around then sometime when they stopped using My clock was most likely made in the 1950's by the glass eyes. It was all that old, I'm thinking it was post WWII. They stated that the jewel count was needed. I forget but it seems like I read in one of the post where The only difference I see is this is a one day movement. The shape of the birds and leaves are identical. That could have been made at the same place as this one. Wow, I have an 8 day movement hanging from the wall right now Any information you can provide to the date or other background would be most appreciated. She's 2 now, and she loves the cuckoo clock! If I can get a date for the clock, it will help me to verify who originally owned the clock and how long it's been in our family. I collect heirlooms from both sides and keep pictures of them, their stories, and their details in a scrapbook that I'll pass on to my daughter. I consider myself to be something like our family's curator. Currently, it adds five minutes every seven days or so. That seems quite old to me so I'm not assuming it's a date, but does anyone know what it could be? It is all fully functional although, I am still working to get the pendulum position right. I'm wondering if this was to keep the back of this clock from getting mixed up with the back from another? There's also an "1866" written in pencil in the upper right hand corner of the inside of the back panel. There is a "36" written in pencil on both the inside of the back panel and the bottom inside edge of the clock. The weights read "420 ET" (I'm not sure that matters). The Roman numeral 4 on the clock is four lines, not an IV. It is stamped with "Made in Germany" on both the front clock face and the back panel. It reads "Hubert Herr Triberg Germany Unadjusted No Jewels". I can tell you there is a Hubert Herr makers marks on the mechanism. I'm looking for a year or a range of years our clock may have been made? I have been trying to find information online but have only found a handful of clocks that look like ours and none of them have a date. She explained to us that it belonged to her mother, who supposedly got it from her mother, who came to the U.S. My husband and I received this cuckoo clock from his aunt recently.
