Hi,
I am a TOTAL sucker for cuckoo clocks and, of course, when this one showed up at a flea market yesterday for only 3 bucks, how could I resist? It only came with one weight, but it's in super condition. There are two things wrong with it. One: the time train chain has come off the sprockets. Two (this is what is really annoying me): as you can see in photo three, there seems to be the residue of some awful brown glue, used to keep the bellows in place. It certainly worked! So the big question is, how can I get the bellows out without damaging the case or the bellows, if that is at all possible. Thank you as always for any help you can offer on this promising project!
Regards.
