I was removing the shock spring from the main plate of a Slava 2428 to clean the jewels. I carefully rotated it and released it.

I then went and picked it up and the jewel and placed in my parts container.

Then I looked in the parts container and the spring was not in there. I did not see it jump away, nor can I find it. I have the parts sheet for this movement but it does not list the shock spring

Can anyone tell me where I would be able to get a new shock spring for the movement?

Its the type with a circle and 3 arms radiating out from it, see the photo below.

I asked this exact very question only a little while ago. It happened the exact same way & I got the exact same answers(donor movement). I even had to look twice to see if I wasn't reading my own question!!! "Fool" lol... But there are slava2428 parts sellers on ebay but donor is definitely the way to go. In my opinion.

Yes don't pay for parts individually - it is extremely uneconomical when whole movements can be had for $5.

For the future, in this video Kalle Slaap demonstrates hollowing out a piece of pegwood for use in easily removing these springs.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍

      If you're seeking advice for your "Harvard GSD" MArch II application essays, I'd recommend taking a thoughtful approach. Reflect deeply on your experiences, passions, and goals, and tailor your essays to showcase your unique perspective and potential contributions to the program. As for resources, I recently stumbled upon a gret platform for essays, and I must say, it's been quite helpful. Their selection of pre-written essays covers a wide range of topics, and their professional writers can also assist with custom essays tailored to your specific needs. Check out their offerings here: https://essaypro.com/essays-for-sale. Remember, authenticity is key in your application essays. Good luck!

      For clarity and ease of testing, I redid that diagram, flipping the circuit to match the layout of the physical watch.

      Hello, Thanks for the reply. The old jewel will get pushed out from the "outside" which is the dial side. The new jewel will get pressed in from the inside (shown below) which is the movement side, correct?     And the old jewel and spring will get pushed from the is the "outside" which is the dial side. Thank you very much for the information. I will take out the KIF spring and save it. Will update when the new jewel is in place!   Regards, Joe

      It's a little circlip style retaining clip to keep the pinion from riding up out of position.
