Cuckoo Clock is off

[owler]

I have a weight driven cuckoo clock. I noticed that the number of cuckoos is one more than the hour (2 o’clock will give 3 cuckoos). I can’t find instructions on how to fix this. Anytime it was adjusted for time, I just moved the minute hand counter clock-wise as instructed.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm no expert, but that's "generally" an indication that the hour hand got accidentally moved or held in place while the minute hand was rotated through an hour. If you can carefully raise the hour hand up on the pivot point at the center and re-align it with the correct hour to correspond to the chime, that may be all that required. I sure hope it's that easy.

Hi! Owler, like Andy i'm no expert but i do remember my father doing this when i was a boy and i'm sure it solved the problem.

Dan, don't try to turn the hour hand. Andy is right, pull the hour hand up and move it to the correct hour, it is just pressed on.

I will give that a try. Thanks!

Is this a clock you made..if so lets see it. It sure sounds cuckoo !

[owler]

I didn't make it. But I do plan to make a large case clock over the next couple of years. I have a plan I have been kicking around in my head. There's so much room up there that it get's lost sometimes
