Hey, my mom has a Black Forest German Cuckoo clock she bought last year. One day while setting the time (back to where it should be) she accidently hit the hour hand. Ever since then the clock no longer chimes on the correct hour.
Hey, my mom has a Black Forest German Cuckoo clock she bought last year. One day while setting the time (back to where it should be) she accidently hit the hour hand. Ever since then the clock no longer chimes on the correct hour.
To illustrate … the clock could strike 6 but it would chime 8 times … or strike 2 and chime 7 times.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?

The hour hand on most mechanical clocks has a slip fit to the hub. All you have to do it wait until it chimes and set the hour hand to match the hour that has just struck.
You can turn it in either direction but I always turn them clockwise. If you try to do this and accidentally get the minute hand, you can cause some damage if you turn it counter clockwise. Always turn the minute hand clockwise.
