I need help With my Cuckoo clock please


Recommended Posts

There is normally a piece of metal sticking out to lift the tail of the bird. The long piece at the back try putting it under the nail it should lift the other bellow. Look for holes or splits in the bellow if they don't sound right.

Don't bend it that much so the bellows doesn't close it is a trial and error when it comes to sorting out the sound. To help you could put tiny drops of oil on the wires where they touch.

    • Hi Stuart. I trust you're well. Sorry to start up an old thread, but I am interest in how you did the extender for the Brenray? What did you do. Did you take a steel/alumium rod and added the appropriate threading? What's the length did you choose? What was your procedure? Got clearer pictures of it? Please kindly advise. Thank you!
    • As far as my watch repairing plans go, I think I’ll buy some cheaper watches and/or watch movements to practice on. Probably the recommended ETA 6498 for the course and an SW200-1 / Invicta diver for practicing on a watch similar to the aquaracer.   Given the daily rates for the aquaracer, I suspect it has a standard/base grade of the SW200-1. My long term plan is to buy a top grade SW200-1 movement from Switzerland with the better balance and hairspring and swap that movement into the aquaracer to improve the timekeeping. A movement swap for a nice mechanical probably isn't trivial though, so that’s probably a plan for down the road when the watch needs servicing or when I feel confident enough that I can do the job without destroying the watch.   however, if anyone has ideas for how this watch opens I’m interested to hear them.
    • You’ve persuaded me that it’s not worth risking it with this watch just yet. However, I am still curious how to open it.   regarding the daily rate, the +10spd is measured on my wrist. Every 24hours I wear it, it gains about 10 seconds, and it gains about 70 seconds in 7 days. So the +10spd is the average daily rate when I wear it 24hrs/day.    on the time grapher the rates are all over the place.  Amplitude is around 290-300 in all positions. Dial up it’s +10spd 3 down it’s +18spd 12 down it’s +5spd 6 down it’s +20spd dial down its +13spd 9 down it’s +4spd   I guess this means my wearing habits are mostly dial up. Perhaps also including  equal amounts of 3 down and 12 down which cancel each other out.   Since everything is biased fast, I thought I could slow it down to have it get closer to 0spd on dial up with some slow and fast in the other positions.
    • I'll get photos looking down later today. I actually have two AS 1187's I'm working on and both have the same problem - running too fast, low amplitude. I'll get a photo of that one as well.
    • Yup. I now have a label on the microphone of my Timegrapher that says in big letters, 'DEMAGNETISE'.
