Thank you Mark, guess what I'm doing today?

 

I shall post the pics of the offending balance when done, or not as the case may be.........

[Legarm]

Well here's my effort.......

 

  

 

21/2 hrs and then put it all back together then couldn't get the index curb pin boot over the spring. This caused a kink, then took it apart again and the spring stud snapped off..... probably too much manipulation..... so gotta buy a hairspring ..... at least I now know the principals ...... ish.

I know it's disappointing that the stud snapped off but i'v have to say I am impressed with the job you did in straightening out the spring.

Thanks Mark, it was a worthwhile exercise and a lesson in patience.......... the vid really helped......

Proper bugger that the stud snapped of Keith, you did a great job re-shaping the spring.
