Question
I have a GF clock from the Black Forest. Just recently, the center weight cable got tangled while rewinding. Prior to this my Grandson got access to the door key and was pushing the weights up which loosen the tension on the cable and tangled it. I was able to un tangle the cable and had to reove it completely from the drum. The cable is intact, but I don't know how to un-wind the drum in order to place the cable back on the drum. Please provide assistance and a general maintenannce book that I can purchase for reference. Thank You very much. Ray

the first book  might actually show your particular movement, which if you can ID for me with the numbers stamped into the back brass plate of the mechainism , maybe we can tell you how to proceed to put the cable back-- a challenge for a beginner.........
