I have a Waltham key-wound pocket watch, small seconds: 20640806 on base plate & 640 80 6 on top plate. The pinion shown in the photo of the rear of the top plate - driven by the barrel - is loose & doesn't turn the main (first ?) wheel on the same arbour. The other photo shows the arbour on the dial side which appears to have a clip of some sort around it. I'd be grateful for advice as to how to proceed to rectify this problem. -

Hi Andy, Yes, the arbor and a few coils would be a bit higher than the rest of the spring. I'm wondering if an alternative possibility is that there is a slight kink close to the end of the spring where the spring overlaps the end of the bridle just before the joint at the end - where the bridle and the end of the spring are joined. This was a bear to wind in/ feed in when winding the spring to put in the barrel. That was on both springs. If it was tough turn against the wall of the washer when winding to go into the barrel, it's probably going to be the same in the barrel, no? I should probably say, the kink was in both springs, one more than the other, before I got my grubby little paws on them. @rehajm, I placed it at six spots rather than five, but yes, around the wall evenly spaced as in your diagram. -
…to clarify, you placed it here, yes?
