Cuckoos work fine! You may want to have the mechanical clocks serviced on the mainland before bringing them over though since we don't have any official clock folks over here. I can clean, oil and repair cuckoos and other mechanical clocks if they need it but it's just a hobby for me and not a business. I don't know of anyone else doing such things. There did used to be a fellow on Kona side who did, but I think he's not there anymore.
Humidity is really high, but if you keep things ventilated it is workable. Anything constructed of particle board you may as well not bring over, though. That will swell up in the humidity and fall apart. Books aren't so bad, they do fine. Leather stuff if it is stored somewhere without any ventilation will grow mold all over it.
We have loads of ventilation (old single wall house) so we don't have much problem with mold and mildew. We do have a problem with dust, though, so if it's not one thing, it's another.
