Sometimes other parts are damaged when a mainspring breaks, in which case the overhaul would cost more.

I have a Schatz-1949 Minature Pendulum Clock that is not keeping the Pendulum energized. when I start the Pendulum the minute hand moves when the Pemdulum cycles. When I try to wind the Main Spring, it winds about six clicks and then makes a sound and does not wind the spring . Is the spring broken? What is the cost of replacing the Spring, Labor and part? Merry Christmas, John

Hi Bill,
I need a suspension spring guard for my Schatz 400 Day clock. It’s a #49 with no date stamp on the back but has the Schatz name on the dial. Can you help me?
Thanks -

I live in New Zeaaland and have a 400 day clock similar to that shown on your website as “Schatz about 1950″. Mine has no identification of any sort other than a trademark on the backplate of clock dial and 2 elephants. My 90mm dial is same as yours but without any text, gable top to the front plate has the 3 knobs but is higher and pierced with 2 holes, columns plain, dial bezel ornate. Condition VG but needs new torsion spring. Could you please confirm it is Schatz, date and if worth repairing.
regards

I have the exact same clock you have pictured, and have replaced the spring with the correct size spring, and have cleaned and oiled it with nye clock oil. Have leveled it and have adjusted the top that turns so that the pallets release evenly on both sides. But it stops periodically. I am wondering if the adjustment of where the two fingers engage the rod attached to the pallets needs to be, does it need to be near the top of the rod or closer to the pallets? Or what is the distance between the part attached to the fingers and where the spring is held at the top? All the pivots move freely. How far does your pendulum turn? One full turn? Three quarter turn? Does the radius of movement have anything to indicate an adjustment? Is there any chance that something is worn and preventing the full force to keep the pendulum moving? Thanks.
