[QUOTE="wiscbirddog, post: 4289418, member: 125"]Did you: hang it, level it, wind it and set it? Is it a one-day or an eight-day. It should cuckoo once at the half-hour and cuckoo the appropriate number of hours. After it cuckoos the hours then the dancers and music should play. Does your switch have 3 positions (on, automatic and off)? If it does, the automatic is the setting you use for 'night time' - this means it won't cuckoo or dance during the night - normally, but not always, from 8pm to 8am. You might want to check out youtube for help. Cuckoo clocks can be tricky to get up and running. Being a tole painted clock, it isn't going to have a large value like carved Black Forest ones, so not sure you'd really want to spend the money on a professional fix.[/QUOTE]
