Jon HartYoke Spring, Pendant Set Part #1229 Waltham 18s - Model 1883 - Fun in the Sun
After sorting through some movements to sell as "steampunk", I noticed one that had a part to fix a movement I stuck away somewhere months ago. Ah - I remember - a 18s Waltham that would not wind.

Jon HartNot sure if it is common for the "Yoke Spring" to break or not. It is the 1st one I have ever ran across INOP (no expert - just an old rusty Warrant Officer)
