Last week I broke the lyre spring of the lower incabloc on an AS1686 movement. Could anyone please advise where I can buy a replacement in the U.K? If anyone has one for sale, please let me know. Thanks in advance Deggsy

I've tried cousins but they will not sell to me as I'm not a watch repair business. Short of telling a porky pie, I'm a little stuck.

A little lie  hasn't killed anyone? You don't have to prove that you are a watchmaker? Or are there new rules? 

If that is not possible i hope someone can help you in UK . I would. But as i am in Sweden it would take  long time if i order and send to you? 

What size/number of the lyre do you need. Have a few i think.

Thanks guys. What I have done is just setup my account via the cousins website. I was told when I phoned them that they only deal with repair businesses. As rogart63 says, a little lie doesn't hurt. Well if I am on world news next week for attempted fraud........[emoji3]

But I am slightly confused. My previous research led me to the part number being 173.03 for the lower resort. Can anyone please confirm. Thank you

I don't know anyplace in UK, but there is a place in Scottsdale,Arizona (US) that has an incabloc assortment for $5.  They have an 800 number (800) 552-1520 (I don't know how to call international) or their local number is (480) 483-3711.  The internet link is http://timesavers.com/i-21262938-incabloc-spring-assortment.html

Hope that helps.  If not, let me know and I'll keep trying.  I have an assortment, but at the moment, it is packed up and I don't know if I can get to it.  (I'm having a little house built behind my son, so I'm living out of boxes right now.)  If I find anything, I'll let you know.

Hi Shirley. You are so kind, but I think I have now got to the bottom of this. Firstly I've now opened a cousins account, something they said on the phone that I would not be able to do as I'm not a business. Secondly, I've been downloading the incabloc data sheet for AS. It should actually have been Standard. So I can now see that I need a 770.03 [emoji3]. I'm happy! Kind regards to all. Deggsy

This is a repeat post I think but there is no AS 1686 mentioned in my Incabloc catalogue but the range is as follows:

Upper spring 170.03  lower spring 173.03

If you can measure them they both have the width of 1.55 mm.

The upper spring length is 2.31mm

The lower spring length is 2.23mm

Hello clockboy. The movement is listed under incabloc Standard SA.

      Setting power reserve on LeCoultre Futurematic

      By watchfellow · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems setting the hand is a bit of a guessing game, and I thought there would be a very specific way to do it. Since the reserve indicator hand moves clockwise as the spring is wound, I tried setting it right at the start of the black side. But setting it there doesn't really make sense, because by the time the spring is halfway wound, the hand is only at the end of the red side... In my head halfway wound shouldn't mean the hand is still "in the red."

      Lovely part of the country! I spend most of my days driving along the A64 for work in and around York. I'll be sure to drop plenty of questions soon! I've actually got a couple of watches on the way that I'm pretty sure I'll need some help with! They look pretty beat up from the pics but I love a challenge and an excuse to buy more tools 🤣

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By oldhippy · Posted

      I have two of these in my home. You need to remove the movement from the case, take off the hands and remove the dial and take a few good photos of the front plate so I can see what the problem is. The round nut unscrews and the hands pull off pull them off from the center and not the tips as you could break them.

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By MapleWood · Posted

      Hi everyone, I tried looking for answers on this online but came up with nothing, so I'm hoping some of you knowledgeable people might be able to help. I have an Elliot clock that has been in my family for at least 4 generations. I recently enherited it, and I'm trying to get it to run properly again, as it's been neglected a bit.  Here,s the problem. These clocks have a silencer mechanism, which is supposed to stop it from chiming between 11PM and 7AM but for some reason mine is silent between 1AM and 9AM. I have tried figuring out how to adjust it but have not managed. Does anyone have any idea on how to correct this? Please find attached some pictures of the clock. Thank you!
