LFA (looking for asset) Cuckoo Clock

I've been looking for a working Cuckoo Clock (adjustable hands, door opens, counterweights move up and down, and the bird asset can easily be replaced with something else) There's a static cuckoo clock in FG Clock Collection. And I've seen some cartoonish and hunting lodge styled ones on Renderhub and Renderosity respectively.
So now, assuming the asset I described doesn't magically appear, I'm guessing I need to kitbash something. So I'm hoping to find suggestions for:
* A descent looking, boxy wooden clock where the hands move to be the base.
* A Swiss chalet or A-frame home that can easily be put on top of the base. As long as the "front door" opens and closes. (I might use Timber Framed Houses 1 or 2 for the roofs, for example.)
* Weird drapery pulls and handles to create the counterweights (or I might do something in Gescon.
Any help I can get with bashing the body of the clock together (or finding an actual asset) would be appreciated.

Is this one of the ones you saw on Rendo?

Not sure I would call it cartoony, but it is old (10 years).
No, the cartoony one is on Renderhub and isn't a Daz asset. It would have to be imported as a .OBJ. https://www.renderhub.com/tingting/clock
That one from Renderosity is far too Deer Hunting Lodge for what I'm looking for.
You could use 1 of the 3 cuckoo clocks in the FG Collection as a base, then kit bash it to make the stuff move. Getting the door to open and close is easy, adding movable chains is obviously harder.
Maybe you could hide the leaves and the deer head.
If you are happy to open a poser figure and retexture, there is one, fully rigged, on this page http://trumarcar.francemi.net/props_tc.htm
It's a $12 asset. It is at best plan C only because the weights supposedly work. The deer head and leaves don't seem optional from the description. But, I had completely dismissed. So thanks for making look a second time. It's now plan C. As I have no deadline for this for several months at least, I'm moving slowly.
This was exactly what I needed. Thanks so much. (It only took me half an hour to figure out how to get the poser object into Daz. :) )
