Question
Hello,

I have a  mechanical pocket watch Junghans model J47 a/1.
The arbor of the spring barrel is broken.

Where can I find it or maybe a substiture from a more recent movement?

Thanks.

Best regards.

Jean-Pol Poupé

Answer
Poupe,

Here is a supply house.  You MIGHT be able to find the part there.
This is where I start all my parts searches.

Ask for Bill.
