Those springs are not the easiest to deal with for beginners. How are you cleaning them and what with ? -
Thank you. We shall see. What's the spec and wattage of your motor? Is it DC or AC?

After cleaning when I tried to rebuild at least one movement out of those two I couldn't successfully oil the capstones. Specifically I couldn't put back the shock spring (not sure what is the name of that pattern) I lost 3 and broke 2 (I kept cannibalizing the other movements in this lot). I ended up giving up. I'll start another project as I feel like there is little chance to make one working movements out of those and they are so filthy It is a huge amount of work just to clean them. Then there is the complexity with keeping track of which of the very varied screw go where without technical sheets. -

Ah ok. A new machine is double the price. I dont know much about cleaning machines ( mine is a very simple diy affair, very easy to fix or replace cheaply and very adjustable in speed, it has a motor that spins a thing which is basically all cleaning machines are and a warm fan or hairdryer does the rest, British logic and ingenuity at it's best ) but if either restoration is good and within the estimated cost then i think you would have a better machine than the pearl for less than half the price.
