Waltham Model 1883 Mainspring Upgrade

Granddad’s Watch: Waltham Pocket Watch - Model 1883 -
Movement No: 15247509.

In this video made up of photographs, is of upgrading the Mainspring
to a new Alloy Mainspring. Part #2205, which I purchased from USA!

First check which way the spring winds, Clock or anti-clockwise?
Place Barrel into a plastic bag to remove spring, to save taking your eye out!
Clean Mainspring Barrel, Arbor and Barrel cover.
Grease and fit spring, making sure it is correct way round
and Tee end of spring is in the hole in Barrel.
Replace Arbor and Barrel Cover again making sure Tee end of
spring is in hole in cover.
 Job Done!
