On my cleaning of the clock works, I use a clock cleaner ; Clock Cleaning Concentrate - Ammoniated that you HAVE to use in a Well Ventilated space, they also have a cleaner that I have purchased, but haven't used yet; Clock Cleaning Concentrate - Non-Ammoniated that is much safer to use in a confined space. The reason I restain a Cuckoo clock is because it has been bumped around or has outer parts that might not match. The stain is a jell I use to sponge it on and leave. The older cuckoo clocks have a very cheap, mud like stain and will wash off if you are not careful. Don't remember what the stain was I used, but seems to me i used a walnut color over the whole clock to make it all match and look new again. Oiling the clock, you should use a clock oil and not to much because dust loves oil and will have to clean the clock works more often. You can find the oil on ebay or a good clock parts company on the internet. I have one, but I have no asked permission to give it out, but if you email me, I will give it to you. For the tools you might need; 1. Flat head screwdriver 2. Needle Nose pliers 3. Clock cleaner or Dawn Dishwashing liquid. (Dawn isn't the best way to clean your clock, but if you only have one clock to fix, it will work but takes a while to get it running right). 4. Clock Oil and a tissue to suck up extra oil. I do hope this helps everyone that might work on there clocks and are willing to give it a try. I try to help others through the process when they run into trouble the best that I can. I don't check my email all the time, so give me time and I will get back to you. If you have pictures or videos of your clock problem might be appreciated in assisting me to help you.

Here I found a Sears & Roebuck cuckoo clock that they sold once apron a time. Besides being an 8 day clock, most of every one in my family and a few friends worked for Sears. I even worked on Saturday Night to help clean and wax the floors. Even my wife worked at Sears. So lets see the clock here in the video because this clock sat in a garage that must have done a lot of welding and coated the open box with the clock. I could not believe how nice this clock turned out. You can contact me at email: justmike2575@gmail.com Now that I am retired, I just might show my life and some of the towns around me.

Here I have a Vintage United Swinging Bell clock that make an irritating sound when running. The Bell has a block of wood that needed some wax to stop this irritating sound and while I was at it, I oiled the movement and wax the paint on the metal and plastic outer shell. Looks so much better and quiet now. You can contact me at email: justmike2575@gmail.com Now that I am retired, I just might show my life and some of the towns around me.
