I got a clock in for service today and the suspension spring is broken. Now i have replaced these before, but this one is a little bit different(I will post a picture soon) the pendulum leader and the suspension spring is one whole unit meaning its made out of a metal rod and the end was hammered to form the suspension spring. My question is can i solder this or do i have to hand fabricate a new one or is there a replacement ones made? This is on a steeple clock and I don't think there is a brand name on the movement. This movement is really small and is in bad shape as the escapment wheel is bent. Is it even worth repairing? also any tricks on straighing the bent gear? Thanks
