Hey, my mom has a Black Forest German Cuckoo clock she bought last year. One day while setting the time (back to where it should be) she accidently hit the hour hand. Ever since then the clock no longer chimes on the correct hour.
To illustrate … the clock could strike 6 but it would chime 8 times … or strike 2 and chime 7 times.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Well, the hours passed and the beer was going down way too easy. At around 2:30 a.m., drunk as a skunk, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, I realized she’d probably wake up, so I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself, having a quick-witted solution, even when smashed, to escape a possible conflict.
The next morning my wife asked me what time I got in, and I told her twelve o’clock. She didn’t seem disturbed at all. Whew! Got away with that one!
She then told me that we needed a new cuckoo clock.
When I asked her why, she said, “Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said “uh-oh,” cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then farted.”

The other night I was invited out for a night with “the girls.”
I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, “I promise!” Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easy. Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home.

Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution (even when totally smashed), in order to escape a possible conflict with him.
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, and I told him “Midnight”.
He didn’t seem pissed off at all. Whew! Got away with that one!
Then he said, “We need a new cuckoo clock.”
When I asked him why, he said, “Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said, “Oh s-h-i-t.”, cuckooed 4 more times, cleared it’s throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.”

Just fixed my clock and would like to know, the bellows on the two whistles folds like a flat bottom paper bag. The clock is 20 years old, I calucate the folds have flexed 1,300,000 times each. WOT kind of material is it?

I bought my mother a Cuckoo clock in Germany and it keeps time beautifully. However, during daylight saving time it’s two ‘cuckoo’s’ behind (standard time, just one ‘cuckoo’) for example: it will be 12 o’ clock and cuckoo 10 times or 3 o’ clock and cuckoo once.
Anyone know how to fix this??

My grandmother was talking about a clock that she had wished she could find, that was similar the one she had when she was a kid. The clock is apparently a cuckoo clock that doubles as a weather clock. Apparently if it is going to rain, a little boy comes out, and if its sunny a little girl comes out. Or something like that. Anyways, does anyone know what kind of clock this is, or where to buy one?
