Welcome to the forums, Rex! If you'll post a close-up photo of the back plate, we'll be able to tell you all about it, including what size suspension spring it will need.I'm new here and new to attempting torsion spring repair on an Anniversary clock. I've got a Koma Mini but can not find any indication of a model on it. I'd love to find out. Also, I need a torsion spring and pendulum block for it. Suggestions would be
welcomed and appreciated! - Thanks -

Thanks all. Here are more photos. I’ve got the movement out of the case as I’m trying to clean it up, a bit. (The case) There does appear to be a bit of the original torsion spring in there. . . (Not sure how / if the top corner posts come off. It would make things much easier!) (Also, sorry for the delay, internet issues, sigh.)It's a "Boy"!

All of Koma's small clocks are! Yours is closer to No. 1052 but I don't have that page scanned. The dial and the top case finials are different.
Plate 1393C, 0.0022" spring, unit 38 or 38A. Looks like you are missing some parts to the pendulum locking mechanism.

I have not ‘set the beat’ which could be an issue. I will need instruction! (Sigh, sorry!) I do know that I’ll need to gently relieve the pressure on the main spring before any possible clock works work. It is sitting across the room from me with ‘that look’ when are you going to finish fixing me!That's a cute little clock! Regarding "overwound", there really isn't such a thing. When fully wound a spring makes maximum power unless the spring lube has turned to glue and is creating "stiction" between the individual coils. If the clock doesn't run, most likely it's losing too much power to friction or obstruction, and/or the escapement is not doing its job. After you replaced the torsion spring, did you set the beat? That's the first thing to do. If that doesn't get it going, it will need a complete overhaul and mainspring service. The mantra here is that if you don't know the last time a clock was serviced, it needs it.
