Sandcast Cuckoo clock
Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2018 4:43 pm
I have a 30hr Sandcast cuckoo that has strike issue
Clock can run for a few hours, a day, or three days then strike lever hangs up.
The slightest winding pressure on the strike chain allows the lever to drop and it will strike again.
Does anyone have any idea what this trouble could be?
I am at my wits end!!
Thanks
Jim
