ANSWER: Please refer to my initial response.  Certainly you can buy a spring.
Again goto <timesavers.com>.  I have donated most of my former horological library to horological schools and organizations.  I have very little left.  I do have meager information on the Jacot Regulator pendulum.  Provide me with your email address and I will forward.  Regards WJP
