Question
Hi,
I've been asked to find a replacement suspension spring for a Schmeckenbecher pendulum clock. I have the following information:
86
261/030A
55CM 88.88
Can you suggest what part I need, and where I can find one in the UK?
Thank you
Hi David,
I'm not able to tell from the information you gave what size spring you need. The best way to select a replacement spring is to get a printed catalog from a clock supply house. The pictures in the catalog will usually be actual size, and you can simply place the broken spring over the pictures until you find the spring that matches. Unfortunately, this does not work with online catalogs, due to variations in screen resolutions on individual computers. I'm afraid that I'm not familiar with clock supply houses in the UK, and can't be of help to you in that matter. http://www.clockmasteronline.com
