Question
Hi,
I have a Kaiser Universe clock circa 1954 with a broken torsion spring and broken glass dome. Could you please provide details of the torsion spring appropriate for my clock. Where can these items be purchased from?
Kind regards
Geoffrey

Answer
Hi Geoffrey,
The suspsnsion spring is a .0030" and can be purchased at the following link: (use the drop down menu to choose .0030):

The only information I have found on the glass dome is that it should be 4-1/2" in diameter and 9" tall. This is not a size being reproduced by glass dome manufacturers. The closest available is 4-1/2" x 8" so I think you will be on the hunt for an origianal dome. Here is what I found:
