anyone know?
There should be a small lever somewhere close by the S and the F. It is for minute (not minute = 60 sec., but minute = very tiny), time adjustments. S will make the clock slower and F will make it go faster. Regulate the timing by using a "Standard" for time. Good Luck…

The hour hand usually drops at about the 2 or 3 o’clock position. It’s usually o.k. until I try to wind the clock. Then the little vibrations, or whatever, will cause the hand to drop, sometimes all the way down to the 6! If anyone has any knowledge of this sort of thing, I certainly would appreciate some pointers.
Usually the hands are either held by a threaded knob in the center, or more likely just by friction. In the second case, remove the hands by gently pulling them towards the front. You will notice each has a different diameter sleeve which fits over a shaft for that hand (concentric shafts). Squeeze the sleeve gently with fingers or a pair of pliers so that it grips the shaft a little more tightly. Then replace the hands.

It is a medium colored wood with a yellow face with green numbers. I have looked online but can’t seem to find this particular model. Any additional info would be greatly appreciated as I would like to find out when it was made, possible production numbers, etc.
The clock was made in Schwinnegen, Germany, which was the "clock capital" until Japan geared up clock production. Schwinnegen has a clock museum. I could ask my friends for the address to this rather small museum.
I know it’s been in my friend’s family for over forty years. The figurine is in brass. Please can anyone help?
