Howdy,
Well, working on a Seiko Marvel 1956 17j movement. Felt removal of hairspring was called for. Removed it-went to move it-was hung on balance wheel and was a slinky before I noticed it happening. Now a uniform cone shaped hairspring. Tried a few weak corrective attempts to no avail and have tried reading up on it and ditto. Quit and had a beverage soother or three. Can’t believe it happened.
Anyone ever come out of this alive and HOW did you correct it? Any advice? ………..
Thanks
John T.
