Rick MorganSeth Thomas 6s mainspring needed!
I have a Seth Thomas, ser. no 485222, in need of a mainspring & I can't find any info on it! Does anyone know what fits it & where I might find one? I'm stumped!

Bila WirriganwaltersThe Seth Thomas number is #707 for the mainspring Rick, if you can not find one of then you will get away with either a NYS #5134 T-End (be care as these are under the same part# for both T & hole ends) or a Waltham #2217 as they are much easier to find, a little stronger and longer but should do the job as the watch is a 7 Jewel so there will be more friction in the train.

Rick MorganThank you, Sir! That's just what I needed to know!

Rick MorganUpdate. The Waltham #2217 works perfect! I now have a sweet running little watch!

Joseph BlossicMike, Rick, would you guys mind posting a clear close up of your respective watches? I have some unidentified movements and thinking they might be Seth's like yours. Thanks! Joe
