I recenly picked up something similar to this Clock with cuckoo and MB and moving birds
I am not sure if my clock is original or was modified. I do notice the same LADOR, Switzerland yellow sticker on the back. However, I do not see the night off switch at the side. It does not have a night off switch. The other thing I notice is the GERMANY print on the dial face is not on my clock's face. Everything else looks identical.
That is the ID part.
There is an issue with my clock, the music box plays very fast and gets activated about 4-5 minutes before the hour. The wire/needle that blocks the fan and supposedly hold from playing the music until the cuckoo finish clucking at the hour doesn't do the job of pausing the play. It plays as soon as the locking lever is lifted out of the hole and continue to play without stopping until the MB chain is unwound since cuckoo has not started. The wire that blocks the fan does stop the fan from spinning but does not stop the music from playing. I was only able to stop the music if I grab the fan and push up (a bit of pressure).
Other than that if I activate the cuckoo and it finish cuckooing, the music does stop (locking lever falls back into the hole).
Is this fixable with current parts? If new parts is need what would I need. The music sounds good but it is fast. I read that I need a governor. How can I identify which governor I need for my particular music box (that will fit and will work correctly).
Thank you for looking and helping.
