Rhythm Cuckoo 4MJ659 for Repair

This Rhythm cuckoo clock was sent in to repair because the ornaments (dancing couple and deers)  won't rotate anymore. It was difficult getting the replacement parts as this model has been discontinued since years ago. Eventually it was repaired back to working condition using modified parts.

Master Anniversary Clock for Repair

This is a battery operated anniversary clock by Master, made in Japan. Although it's battery operated, it works with torsion pendulum mechanism.

Napolean Mantle Clock for Repair




This two-key holes Napolean mantle clock was sent for repair. The striking tone produced by the solid coil gong is beautiful.

Antique Vienna 3-Weight Regulator


Pendulum is attached to the case


Two sets of coil gong for striking of the quarters and hours 
The key to wind up the weights
This is a 3-weight Vienna regulator made ca.1880. It's called a blind man's clock because of the way it strikes, the "Granne Sonnerie" strike. It'll strike the quarter tone first on a gong and then the hour tone on another gong of different pitch.
