How can I get a pendulum?
I purchased a cuckoo clock in German back in 1989/1990 that has a moving wood cutters on one side, trees and a water wheel on the other side, and dancers at the top with the bird. The pendulum has been misplaced. Can you tell me how much one would cost and what it would look like?- The pendulum next to the price tag fits for your 8-day clock and is the correct design.
