I recently bought a hunter’s cuckoo clock with the dancing people. It has three chain pulls and weights- I’m guessing, one for each of the qualities (the clock, the cuckoo bird, and the dancing people).

I have two questions..
1) How do I know which weight goes on which chain pull?
2) When the minute hand gets to about the 55-minute mark, the ticker stops working. Any help?

Usually, an 8-day cuckoo clock needs winding every week or so. How come mine has to be wound every two days? Is this a defect?
Bought the cuckoo in Switzerland. Thought I was scammed by some Chinese owner. But the rest of the clock works alright except having to wind an 8-day cuckoo every 2-3 days. Can someone tell me what’s wrong with my cuckoo clock?
It’s a two yrs old cuckoo.

Your boss at the Cut-Rate Cuckoo Clock Company asks you what would happen to the frequency of the angular SHM of the balance wheel if it had the same density and the same coil spring (thus the same torsion constant), but all the balance wheel dimensions were made one-third as great to save material.

a) By what factor would the frequency change?
b) Would the frequency increase or decrease by the factor found in part (a)?
c) By what factor would the torsion constant need to be changed to make the smaller balance wheel oscillate at the original frequency?
d) Would the torsion constant need to be increased or decreased by the factor found in part (c)?

I have a cuckoo clock that needs to be looked at or maybe repaired. It belonged to my grandfather. Anyone know of a good honest clock repair shop in Litchfield or Hartford County CT?

Thanks!

Tried adjusting time time by going back and forth. But still the same result. Both the time and the Cuckoo mechanism are not getting synchronised. I’m from India. The clock was brought by my brother from Switzerland. We’re not very keen on showing the clock to the clock repair person here. But anyone in Mumbai who is aware of a competant repair person please let me know.

When I start the pendulum it goes for about 2-3 minutes and then stops. I’ve checked and the chain is on the track and when I put a little more weight on the weight it does move the pendulum back and forth.

So when I hear the “ticktock” of the pendulum it’s even and the clock is level, but then after about 2-3 minute the pendulum continues to swing, but you don’t hear the “ticktock” anymore and then the pendulum stops shortly after. Any thoughts on what’s wrong?
FYI the clock is only 6 months old. We got it in may.

B-Notable asked:

One night, this guy is invited out for a night with the guys. He promised his live-in girlfriend that he would be home by midnight. Well, the hours passed and the beer was going down smooth, and before he knew it, it was 2:30 a.m. Drunk as a skunk, he headed for home.

Just as he got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times.
Quickly, he realized that she’d probably wake up, so he was quite proud of himself when he thought to cuckoo nine more times. Even in his drunken haze, he fell asleep smiling about how he had escaped a possible conflict.

The next morning, his girlfriend asked him what time he got in, and he replied very smugly: Twelve O‘clock.

She didn’t seem disturbed at all, which made the guy feel even better.
She then told him that they needed a new cuckoo clock.

Why is that, he asked?

Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, said “Oh, crap,” cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then ******.
