400 Day
Single Strength Anniversary Clock Suspension Springs in a three pack. These are only the springs with no fork or blocks. Install the blocks and fork from the old broken one to the new one. Available in all size increments between .0018 and .0040.
Anniversary Clock Suspension Springs are the most frequent thing that breaks. It is always a good idea to have extra springs on hand because they bend, crimp or twist easily. Once this occurs, the spring is no good.
Ordering the correct springs
Choose the size from the drop down list below. To determine the size, measure the existing spring that is broken. Alternately, try the repair guide on this page to see if your anniversary clock part is in the list.
The size indicates only the thickness of the spring and all of the lengths are the same. Simply use scissors to cut them to the correct size.
I have inherited an Elgin Quartz Anniversary glass domed clock from my parents. It says “Made in Japan” at the bottom of the clock face. The clock seems to work properly and maintain correct time but over the years the gold plating on the 3 spinning globes has disappeared. Is there a way to restore this plating? Thank you.
Is no way that is reasonable

Hello, I just received my new suspension springs which I ordered .003. I noticed my old springs measure .003 x .025. The new springs are .003 x .017. Will the difference in the width affect the timing or did I order the wrong size. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks , Kanah
Width does not matter so much.

aI have a Heco Coehler Anniversary clock that I have been trying to get working and the suspension spring broke. I have a pair of calipers that are not meant to measure this type of clickness, but seems to be around .002. Can you give me any other insight into the thickness I should order? Thanks for your time and help.
Sounds like a winner, get the .002

somehow my anniversary clocks suspension came up missing after a home relocation. How can I determine, If at all,
what spring, block and fork to use.
Do you have any small shred of the suspension to measure only the thickness?

No, there is not anything at all. After unpacking the clock I found It with no parts. Installed a battery, set the time and is working quite well. I would just like to have the waits spinning.
Oh, sorry to hear that. But this page and these parts, are for a mechanical anniversary clock, not battery operated. Do not have the parts for those

Do you have any information on where the battery-operated parts could be found? I have the same issue and it is a sentimental value to me as it was my mothers, and the weights spinning would be so wonderful as it was growing up to watch. Thanks for your time.

I have a Kundo 400 day clock. There is no model # or other identifying marks. The spring is intact, but there is an obvious spiral to it as it sits. Is this spiral normal? Or does that fall under ‘bent’. If I rotate the balls 3/4 turn and let go, they will continue to rotate for 10 minutes, slowly losing distance. Does an instruction page exist identifying how to disconnect the spring?
Spiral is not good in the spring, should be flat with absolutely no kinks or it will never run past 10min. Need to replace the suspension spring on that one

Thank you very much
Our Anniversary clock does not have a torsion pendulum rod spring. It had a tiny spring that was connected to the plastic arm moved by the mechanics of the clock. We need to replace that tiny delicate coil spring.
We only have parts for 400 day mechanical anniversary clocks, nothing for the battery units

No, it thank you
.0020 is on the list, it is a popular size. Please order on this very same page. Width does not get measured.

Hi James, I have a brass Kieninger & Obergfell Kundo Anniversary clock (believe 1950’s) lantern shape and need to replace the spring. Unsure what size spring to order as I’m unable to locate a model number anywhere. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Best to measure the thickness of the old one to match up to the new one to be ordered in the same thickness. The length does not matter, snip to length

Are there parts available for the Kieninger & Obergfell Kundo Electronic clocks from Germany? .
The pivot piece for the pendulum is broken. It is two pieces of brass connected by what looks like two very thin pieces of spring steel. The upper piece of brass is screwed to the clock frame while the lower piece has a small rod running through it where the pendulum sits. The pendulum has a double hook at the top that sits on the small rod thus allowing the pendulum to swing. This is one of those early electric clocks with the circular magnet at the bottom of the movement.
Sorry do not have the parts for that one

Hello, I have a Welby Kieninger & Obergfell Anniversary Clock marked Made in Germany then a few marks and 0)jewels unadjusted. The numbering is white on blue and I can find no other marks. From reading through your site I have identified that part of the reason it isn’t running is the suspension spring (what is currently attached isn’t much thicker than Christmas tinsel) has a kink in it at the top and I don’t see anything that would attached the balled pendulum to the suspension spring so I think the bottom block may be missing as well.
With that, I have no idea how to figure out what size suspension spring I should order! Can you help????

I’m trying to measure my old anniversary clock spring to order a new one. When I tighten the micrometer (bought from your site) the thickness reads 5 but you don’t have a spring in that size listed
please remeasure in mm. should read correctly.
How do I measure the old wire with the tool I purchased from you?
You need to measure the thickness of the spring.
How to disassemble a pendulum on 400 dayclock
you are better off not removing any of the rivets that hold everything together, but the slotted piece that attaches to the spring at the top of the pendulum comes off by unscrewing it, find a thick screwdriver that fits into the slot and turn the pendulum counter clock wise, don.t force it if its too tight and don’t use pliers on it. the threaded piece and the dial you turn with your fingers are one piece, that turns on a steel shaft pressed into a brass casting, that bottom twisted piece. mine got dropped and i discovered it may look like the legs are bent but it was the steel shaft that deeded straightening. and some legs needed the same. the thing needs to be balanced some what so its best to net take that apart. even if the pendulum becomes bent or lopsided it will still work. use a small crescent wrench as a vise to hold the brass, its easy to bend so don’t go too far the other way. and don’t use any type of polishing compounds or abrasives on your brass or you will remove the clear coat that keep the clock from turning green. good luck
Hi
Why disassemble the pendulum balls, there is never a reason to do this
Straightening the pendulum parts can be much easier if you disassemble them first, looks like those pins are rivets mushroomed over on both sides of each pin, in this case you will need to make replacement rivets. use the tip of a center drill the same size of the head of the rivet. center punch the very center of each rivet first. drill the small end of the rivet go in till the head pops off and starts spinning, the rivet should now fall out the opposite side you drilled perhaps they sell a replacement? too little time to get the hands to tell the time we spend fixing grandma Rose’s old clock. two jewels and plastic levelers that fall apart.
they made the face to have twelve numbers because for the other twelve numbers you are supposed to be sleeping and wont see them anyways.
I cant find the exact rivets and tools to recreate that environment the factory has that they used from the start. I have been on the search. As for us, we just solder it or make a rivet out of brass round stock and by means of the mushroom method.

Thanks for your email! You’re the first I’ve heard from; or I don’t know how things work. I’m just going to measure the thickness of the wire.
Sincerely,
Gene
Can I send you the wire, “you” measure the wire, and send me what I need?
Ok yes we can do that, please send with payment so we do not have to chase you down
Hi! Haven’t mailed yet, but plan on sending to PO Box 330, 124 Goss Hill, Huntington, MA , is that right? Also, I need to know how much to make the check out to, the website says $9-20. I think I better get 2 wires just in case. You’ll also tell me the size, please.
Sincerely,
Gene
The address is PO Box 339 The price would be depending on the size you are selecting.
You need to click on the size you would like and the price will be displayed.
In order to get the correct size, you need to measure the thickness of your old spring with a micrometer.
Please add 4.99 to cover shipping.
Hi! The previous communication noted that you’d be willing to measure if I sent the wire. Is that still available?
Sincerely,
Gene
Sure please send in
Many Thanks !

Hi! How much should I send you since I don’t know the size? Would like two wires, just in case.
Thanks for your patience, Gene
Please just measure the old and match the new and order online and do not send the springs to us.
It is the best way.
If you send us the old spring for us to measure please include a $20 bill for the service.
If you do it on your own, all you need is a caliper https://www.clockworks.com/product/digital-caliper-four-inch and to order https://www.clockworks.com/product/400-day-anniversary-clock-suspension-springs
help is here https://www.clockworks.com/clock-repair/clock-repair-help-1.html
You would need to measure the thickness of the suspension spring with a micrometer in order to determine what size to get. We also sell a 400 Day Repair Guide that might also be of assistance in your repair. If you are interested in that book here is the link for it: https://www.clockworks.com/product/400-day-repair-guide ~Donna~
The suspension wire that is.
When measuring , how tight should I be?
Do you mean the tolerance?
