I need some help.

Post by Yoda »

For once I am completely lost regarding a mainspring for a 1930s Jaeger LeCoultre 8 day travel clock.

I have looked and asked in many places and they all said no.

The mainspring measures as follows:

Width 2,55
Strength 0,14
Length 680
Barrel diameter 18,5

The old blue steel was 0,15, that's why I wanted to go down one strength when replacing it with an alloy mainspring.

Length is not critical, 650 or 720 would work nicely.

Cousins has 2.55 x .15 x 730 x 18 Non-Automatic (part # 2551573018) - maybe that would work?

It worked nicely all the way down to the payment method, which I don't have at the moment, so I will have to look into that.

I do have an account with Cousins, but the card rules are completely bonkers here in Sweden.
Could someone with an account with Cousins buy this mainspring and have it shipped to me, I will PayPal the funds straight away?
Sent with tracking! It is something like £18.
