Why don't you take the barrel out and look at the m/spring and measure that. You should also make sure the teeth on the barrel and train wheels are in good condition. Look at the inside of the barrel and make sure a new spring will hold, no good getting a new spring if in side the barrel is worn, the end of the spring might not stay attached. I will have a look in my Bestfit books and see what I can find.

Generale Ressorts lists one 2.60x 0.18x 460, reference number 6772. Also one the same but 480 long ref 6773. Either should work fine. Pretty sure Cousins sells GR reference springs. If they are out of stock you can drop the height to 2.50 no problem, that would be a reference 6667 2.50x 0.18x 460.

    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

    • In think you are effectively shortening the coil by shorting out damaged tracks. In my case as long as the continuity was good and the resistance not too greatly affected it should be ok .  One was on an era  movement,
