Not in the best shape but all parts seem to be present.
Broken mainspring.
Glass is present, case and base present.
I think this is a Style 4 big ben based on the 6 & 9 having a curved tail
"The black (actually called gunmetal, a grayish metallic paint) case with nickel trim has a white non-luminous dial with black figures, or a solid black luminous dial"
The parts for this came in a box so the first thing I did is sort out the parts to confirm they all seemed to be present and accounted for.
Took quite a effort, but I got the line spring off. It was really hanging under that poster.
Here it is, it's a bit whining out, but I think it went spring. Looks like it might be broken.
Now it's not broken, it's just the loop comes back around on itself, so it's one of those bent tail end things.
There was the last thing out of the little sleeve.
Broken mainspring — Mainspring is broken.
Bent hairspring — Hairspring will require some repair. This bend is affecting timekeeping function and accuracy.
Straighten Hairspring — We're going to straighten that kink out. It was really hard to get out of the movement like that.
Replacement mainspring arrives
Parts drying after a clean
New spring ready to install — Now it's out, it's time to put it in.
Wound into the barrel — Now I'm going to be a line of spinning and we're going to put that into the spring liner.
Installed the mainspring — Orange Supreme is really strong. That's the best piece of stuff I've ever done. It's really good. It's pretty much as good as it should be.
Fixed hairspring bend — Check out the improvement on the hairspray.
Assembled and checking beat quality and rate with Bench Buddy
Back together after confirming reliable run on bench and test stand
The lume is "dead" but under black light shows up. We're lost some of it.
I wasn't sure what these are for. Turns out they are to attach hooks (shown in silver version) to hang on the wall.
