Not certain if you have clock training or not Ray but I don't think you are correct on this one. It might be nice to learn if the vibrations caused the clock to become unregulated (tic and tocs are not equal). This would relate to time changes. Cookoo clocks are not precision clocks and if the bird makes noise within 5 minutes of the hour, you are doing well. If timing of the clock is the issue, it is most likely the pendulum.
Tyhe mechanisms spoken of are not pendulum activated. The are mechanical counting mechanisms, and are sensitive to vibration.

The clock works very well now, except for 1 thing--we live about a block from a train track, which is used about every 1/2 hour. This constant motion interferes with the timing mechanism, so no matter how often we reset the time, within a few hours, the time is incorrect. Any idea as to how we can correct this?
