Don't do it! -2-
|
Here is a "never seen before" kind of barrel hook: a wooden screw. Usually, hooks must not interfere with mainsprings. Something must be wrong...
A side view of the same barrel. In this case we had to make a completely new part, no restoration was possible.
|
We were surprised to see these mainsprings. They were broken but have not been replaced, even if they are very common mainsprings. Somebody tried to "repair" them in a particular manner. The first one was found on a pendulum clock, the second on a Zenith pocket watch. The repairers must have spent a lot of time to do this job, so there is really no reason for it: it's wrong from both the technical and the economical point of view.
