German Cuckoo Clock, One Day, Hanging

On the back of the clock is handwritten: ' 12/99 ' and ' 110216 '. It could be a repair date.
The music mechanism is clearly from the fifties or earlier. The cylinder tune points are handmade, not by machine, and it is a 23 teeth comb from that period (later 19 and than 18 teeth combs).
The music mechanism is all metal.The cylinder is unmarked, but the comb mentions: ' 1 5 9 '.
It plays 2 tunes. After every tune a handle falls in a hole in the cylinder and stops the tune at that point.

The clock has a label in back:
Gregory's ' Its About Time "
5432 Trouble Creek Road
New Port Richey FL 34652
813 856 time/ 813 847 6941.

The clock (inside) is marked:
REGULA, Made in W. Germany
No 10 (?) Jewels, unadjusted.
G.M. 1884208/1892176 and A 125-85.
A.Schneider Sohne.

Presently the cuckoo (bird) and clock work. It is not clear, with everything connected, why the music and dancers, on the same chain, do not work.
