hi, I had a quick scan on the forum for this but I am replacing a snapped mainspring and looking for replacements.

Think have narrowed down to Cousins GR5995TR   2.10 x .13 x 360 x 11 TR- End.  Slightly longer but the rest looks good.

My question is do i need the TR or Non-Automatic end ( GR6000 ) ?

my current snapped one is manual wind, folded over end without hole to catch barrel.

thanks

Just take the GR 5995 without the TR, the TR is with a hole. While the hook in your barrel may work with a hole, the function of the tongue end (the standard end on springs without suffix) is far better. They have plenty of them at Cousins.

    • Good to know that Oldhippy is fine.  I wish you a fast recovery, we, the noobs, miss you a lot.
    • Managed to clear the short, cleaned and oiled the movement. Now testing for 24 hours before I case it up. The movement is so small that it's loose in my smallest movement holder.
    • @oldhippy - wishing you all the very best of recoveries
    • Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest. Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved. However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.
    • As mentioned by the other members, it’s a dismantle job clean and inspect the solder joints. It’s an older generation using the paxolin pcb  not the glass fiber ones.
