    Could use advice on Schatz cuckoo in the case adjustments

    I agree with Willie X. I would ask if you used the old bellows did you ensure you placed it in the same spot it was removed form?

    Cannon Pinion Repair

    I hammer the solder on an anvil until it is less than paper thin than it's ready to use. That's my opinion, but I could be wrong. breeze

    Clock repair

    What you have looks fine to me. When you say it does not work what do you mean? Does it strike the wrong number or is there a lack of power to operate the strike?
