Good Evening
I’m looking for instructions on how to install a new spring on a Puck phonograph. I’m also looking for parts for this phonograph.
Thanks
Dan

"Puck" is a generic term for a group / style of phonograph. There were many different models and manufacturers.

Maybe a photo would help?

(not sure that there were any USA manufactured Puck style phonographs?)

Hopefully, you took pics of the motor and spring before you disassembled it. The spring needs to be rewound in the same direction as it was originally wound. Basically, you replace it just the way it was originally installed...

Thanks Curt unfortunately the broken spring was already removed when I received it, hopefully I’ll be able to figure it out.

From watching the direction of rotation of the winding key, following down the gears to the spring arbour...
