      WE ACCEPT TRADES ON OUR CLOCK REPAIR WORK

TO ORDER MAINSPRINGS WE NEED TO KNOW THE LENGTH, WIDTH AND THICKNESS OF YOUR OLD MAINSPRINGS AND IF IT IS LOOP END OR HOLE END. 

IF YOU HAVE NEVER INSTALLED A MAINSPRING WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU GET A QUALIFIED CLOCK REPAIR PERSON TO DO IT FOR YOU. MAINSPRINGS HAVE A LOT OF STRENGTH AND CAN HURT YOU OR DAMAGE OR DESTROY YOUR CLOCK. WHEN NEW MAINSPRINGS COME FROM THE FACTORY WITH A OIL COATING TO KEEP THEM FROM RUSTING, THE MAINSPRING WILL NEED UNWOUND AND CLEANED THIS OIL COATING HAS TO COME OFF.  MAINSPRING COIL'S HAVE TO SLIDE ON EACH COIL OR IT WILL GET THICK AND STICKY AND THE MAINSPRING CAN CATCH AND YOUR CLOCK WILL LOSE POWER AND COULD STOP RUNNING. YOU SHOULD NEVER LET ANYONE WORK ON YOUR CLOCK BUT A QUALIFIED CLOCK REPAIR PERSON THAT UNDERSTANDS CLOCKS.
