400 Day Suspension Springs
Single Strength suspension springs in a three pack. These come as the spring only 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.
Ordering the Anniversary Clock Suspension 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. Consequently, the springs come way too long and the length needs to be cut to size with scissors.

Do you mean the tolerance?
The suspension wire that is.
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
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~
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

My suspension spring is missing. How do I determine the size I need?
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

How to disassemble a pendulum on 400 dayclock
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… Read more »
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.
James
Many Thanks !

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… Read more »
How do I measure the old wire with the tool I purchased from you?
You need to measure the thickness of the spring.
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.
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,… Read more »
