Hi all,
I wind all my clocks same time every week. Was winding my French carriage clock up. Was about 3/4 wound & the spring jumped off the center harbor releasing enough force to brake 2 teeth off the barrel & bend another. I know it's possible to replace teeth but this has a powerful spring. It's an early 1910 apx French carriage clock with a cylinder escapement.
I have a feeling I need to look for a doner replacement.
If there is possibility that it can be repaired open for ideas.
