  I have found a real one, made in Germany with mechanical bellows and chime 
that takes one "D" battery. It was made in the 60's or 70's, and after it is 
restored I am going to buy it for $100.  They do exist, but it is not easy to 
find them. This one looks just like a wind up from the outside. Anyways, I am 
looking for another one that I could give as a gift. The big company in 
Germany that makes a vast variety of cuckoos does not offer battery powered 
ones now.
