Where to buy mainspring for Victrola’s motor

Post by tango »

I have a VV-50 with a broken spring which needs replacement. Please let me know where I can order a new replacement mainspring. Thank you in advance.

If its broken at the end just cut it, drill and reform it. I have done this numerous times.

IMHO, this is broken faraway from the start. If repaired this way he may loose near 3 feet length, which is too much, except in case of emergency!
