If you want to try a Victor motor look on YouTube for chilldude2007. He has a 6 part series where he disassembles and reassembles a Victor two springer. Very detailed and what I watched to start doing my own repair and re-greasing of motors.

Thanks, Terry. I will see if I can find the videos and check them out.

I'm with Jerry...I know how to install new mainsprings in the Springs Barrels as well, but I send out my Spring Barrels and have the Mainsprings installed as well... It cuts down on time, and I'd rather pay to have it done... I do everything else myself though..
