1973 E Schmechenbecker Musical Oompa Band Cuckoo Clock Part 2 of 2 & How to Fix a Broken Platform

[@whitneykovener]

Pretty cool how the musicians just quarter turn to "face the crowd" rather than just twirl non-stop. Thanks for posting the 2nd part

In my videos, I show the tool to get them I HATE YOU E-clips. I am really under the weather right now, or I would go out and get the too. Thanks for showing your extended family.

@@justmike57 hope you are feeling better soon. I'm going to show how to tackle the hateful things on my next Regula video. I have a plan and a tool for backup!

Your channel has grown really fast. It took me a very long time to have that many watch time hours. Keep it up. BTW you have 114 subscribers as I am watching this video. When you do your function test make sure that the tab coming off the rack stop lever that goes into the slots on the rack are fully seating the slots when the clock trips. If it isnt then A. it will cuckoo too many times and B you might have trouble with the pac man fully seating where you want it to. If it doesnt fall into the slots fully then the tab that hits the snail has to be adjusted some. I feel that this is caused when the hands are turned backwards when the clock goes into warning or the clock is cuckooing. Seen it too many times at Rons house when he sells a clock to a local person and they bring it back to him sometime down the road complaining. I show in that video that I posted in the first part of this video of how to take those clips off and put them back on without that special tool. Plus you dont want to put those clips all the way down as the levers might have trouble lifting/dropping. I was reluctant about spending $35 to purchase one of those tools but after my home made tools from Harbor Freight kept breaking the tips because of my modification I broke down and bought one. Best move pertaining to these clips. Using the hemostat to grab the bird wire helps me out. That way it doesnt go back in on you. Normally a 320 gr weight is used for the music. If you cant get the 275 to work then it is great. Again your knowledge of repairing clocks impresses me. That is why you are getting the watch time hours and subscribers. You did great on repairing this clock. Keep it up. Thanks for the shout out.

@@munnerlyn3 I'm amazed at the watch time hours. Thanks for the comments. I had so much trouble holding the movement that I didn't test it well before putting it back in the case. So of course I had to take it back out. I'm ready next time for those hateful clips!
