Hi Folks,

Hope your all keeping well, does anyone know where I can get a New Mainspring from for a Raketa 2609 HA Movement.
Cheers,

Obsolete @ Cousins but after a quick search I found this

Thanks watchweasol, loads of Russian movements but no Raketa 2609 HA "typical, just my luck" 😢

Maybe it's the same as another one, measure it to know.

And, maybe the original mainspring can still do good enough for the purpose of occasionally wearing a vintage piece.

I agree with weasol, take measurements and buy a generic spring.

Or buy parts movements on eBay and find a useable mainspring there. There isn't really anything wrong with using an old spring, as long as it is not seriously deformed by previous removal and insertion.

The problem with going the generic route is that the 2609.HA uses a "T" end m/s, which dramatically reduces the range of what is available.

I just measured an old 2609.HA m/s as height 1.28mm, strength 0.11mm, length apptox 400mm (this is approx because the example that I have is missing its inner most coil but measured at 380mm). The nearest equivalents that Cousins has to offer are 1.30 x 0.11 x 280, which will have a shorter power reserve, or 1.30 x 0.095 x 320, which will still have a shorter power reserve but better than the 280 spring, but will likely give much lower amplitude. So unless you are able to find a more suitable generic elsewhere there will be significant compromise to be made.

If this is the route that you choose to go down then I would probably go for the first option and put up with having to wind the watch a bit more often.

I just checked the 1.25 height options that Cousins offers and there is a 1.25 x 0.115 x 360 T end (GR3142T) which is closer to the original and probably what I would go for. It's in a 10.5mm washer, and the Raketa barrel is just under 10.5 though so there is a good chance that it will need to be wound in by hand.

I am just too busy to help today but anyone who has access to the General Resorts catalogue should be able to find a compatible spring that is available. If not I will re visit tomorrow.

      Regarding the spring winders, I made my own and used copper pipe reducers as the tubes to retain the spring. You will need to cut out a section for the end of the spring to protrude but if you watch one of the many videos on this subject that will make sense. You can find a selection of sizes on Ebay for very little cost. I'll attach a pic showing one of mine.  Good luck!

      Omega sweep second pinion friction spring - correct tension IS important

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      There were things bothering me about this discussion that took me a while to figure out the problem. In the image below it appears to be the spring may be pushing up? Normally when Omega has a spring pushing up the pinion has a pivot with a bridge to hold it in place so in other words the spring can push on something that stationary as opposed to this which appears to be floating? To understand the problem with the above image we need another image of side view which I have below. In my image down below on the left-hand side it agrees with the image up above. But the only problem is the left-hand side is defective and the right-hand side image is the way it's supposed to look. Then Omega if you can access the right documents does explain how and why this problem occurs. With the pinion floating around it might be assumed that you support it when putting on all the hands but you do not because as noted below if you do this small bush on the pinion will relocate out of position exactly what we see in the image up above.   Then Omega does not mention this but there is a possibility of also damaging the pinion and causing the bush to move to where it's not supposed to be when removing the hands.

      Regulating is too touchy

      By LittleWatchShop · Posted

      Maybe show us 1) the watch, 2) timegrapher readings in DU, DD, PU, and PD.

      Regulating is too touchy

      By Louis1969 · Posted

      The timegrapher displays significant beat error variations in the dial-up position. When the watch is lying flat (face up), the beat error is much higher than in other positions. Beat error readings are inconsistent, with especially large gaps in the face-up position.  Please help !

      Looks like an open-access journal that runs as a glorified pre-print server with no true peer review, so it’s not easy to judge the veracity of the conclusions.
