CUCKOO CLOCKS
(3/30/04)

ProblemThe one ambient noise your shipper has brought with them 
to their new home is missing.  No...  It's not the neighbor's barking 
dog--it's the ticking and chiming of the "Family Cuckoo Clock!"

Everyone seems aware that large pendulum clocks (Grandfather and
Grandmother type) require special attention.  This attention is best given by
specially trained packers or clock repair firms.  It would seem that the same
attention is not given to the Cuckoo Clock and quite often these items 
sustain damage or the drive chain comes off.
I would like to address the temptation of the moving industry to treat the
Cuckoo Clock as if it was constructed with digital technology.  They are not.  
If the chains are not secured, they can come off the drive gears and 
reattaching them can require some rather tedious removal of the 
mechanisms and the proper reinstallation of all parts
.

Solution:  It’s simple:  Secure the chains so they cannot come 
off the internal gears

  SO, REMEMBER: "If it isn't broke……."
It's a GREAT MOVING JOB!
