Question
Re;
My Bulova anniversary clock,# B8833
The suspension "spring" for lack of a better description, that the balls swivel on has broken. Is there a replacement for this?
I have very carefully and patiently tried to solder it back together but the solder has apparently stiffened up the fine suspension wire and the balls do not turn far enough to flip the switch.

Answer
Sounds like a battery operated clock?

Bulova did not make these - they were made in Germany (hopefully) for Bulova- without a photo of the suspension unit, my books can't ID the unit you need. I assume there are no other markings on the back ecept the number you give?
