You did a lot of very fine work on this clock - the way you restored the holes for the chains in the bottom of the case, the brass collars with set screws you made for both ends of the shaft that holds the water wheel. Well done.
I am LITERALLY working on the SAME model as I watch & type 😊 I IDd it as an old Loetscher. This is my first Cuckoo clock & I'm doing it slowly & enjoying it. Mine is in slightly better original condition but was gunked terribly. Garaged, smelled, spider nests. My movement was was same model but not stamped made in Germany. I'm going to make a wooden waterwheel. Ty for ur video!!!
@@dperry428I just purchased a 1929 Ingraham mantle clock for my wife that doesn’t run. The movement appears to be complete but in need of servicing. Do you allow people to send clocks to you/ pay you for your restoration services?
I do, but generally only during winter months when I can't be outside. This year I'm doing a number of repairs for someone who normally does his own work but had hand surgery. Contact me around November if you haven't found someone else. (If I'm still around. Each day is a blessing.)
I inherited a cuckoo clock for my mother and the cuckoo just continuously cuckoos and does not shut off and the pendulum stops. Also, I tried looking at it but unable to fix it. Do you still fix clocks for people? The cuckoo clock I have is not a very expensive one, but it is sentimental.
Yes, I still fix clocks for others, but my work is normally done in the winter. I am still repairing clocks for someone who has a clock shop, but is recovering from surgery. I can't take on any more until winter. Try me again when the snow flies.

Best wishes for a successful restore. Whatever you do, don't drop it. That's what happened to this one.

In 21 years, I"ve NEVER seen an L shaped bellow...........
It was a new for me, too, and I've been doing this 56 years.
