Question
Hi,
I broke the suspension spring when I tried to slow the pendulum clock down. Do you have replacement part and/or can you repair for me?
Thanks,
Alice
We sell the spring but you will have to cut it to length and attach the blocks and fork. You have to place the blocks and fork in the same position as your original. I suggest that you make a drawing of the original and lay the new parts on it so you can match it.
I have a youtube video on this process at the following link:

Here is a link to our page of the springs. I think full size Hallers use a .0030 but if you give me the width and height of the backplate on the clock I can look it up in the book.

| Comment | The local clock repair shops gave me no hope of finding the suspension spring that I needed, saying that there are none to be found. This clock belonged to my parents and, now that they're gone, I really wanted to get it working again for sentimental reasons. I am ecstatic! | ||
