Thank you for your kind comment.

thanks. I have a ww2 navy ship Chelsea clock and I will try to replace this spring following your directions

[@ScottiesClockWorld]

Hope it works out for you. Thanks for your comment.

thanks prof ...

[@ScottiesClockWorld]

Glad you liked the video, not many people know how to do this correctly.

Congratulations for your video. I'm 41 years old Brazilian man and I watch your videos because I want to keep my grandfather clock running well and with a correct maintenance.
I have one doubt: Considere that I bought a new mainspring and it's closed with a metalic wire like you showed in your video. When the mainspring arrives here, I see the new mainspring with a diameter higher than the barrel of my clock. Do you think I bought an incorrect mainspring of my clock?
Kind regards.

[@ScottiesClockWorld]

Sounds like it might be the wrong size.

Thanks Scottie, trying to play "catch up" on the videos (just got back from vacation). Is Oleic Acid like a vegetable oil? Fish oil?

[@ScottiesClockWorld]

Oleic acid is a mono-unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid found in various animal and vegetable sources. Thanks Google.

Have you done any balance wheel clocks I have one that won't keep going

[@ScottiesClockWorld]

Try this one:

Also most vintage alarm clocks run pin pallet movements.

Excellent Scotty,,,,,😊

[@ScottiesClockWorld]

Thanks Tony.

These don't have to be lubricated?

[@ScottiesClockWorld]

No, Trifix (made in Germany) mainsprings arrive pre-lubricated.

[@lmt200ish]

@@ScottiesClockWorld Thanks.

[@kmehryari6068]

Why not just unwind the spring and then put it in the barrel?

[@ScottiesClockWorld]

This is the industry wide safe way to install a new wire bound mainspring.
