Winding Spring Fixed ~ Monday, June 19, 2023

Getting the winding spring off of the #Amberola #RecordPlayer wasn't so hard after all--turned out I happened to have a wrench 3/8" wrench which fit around the rod, and could use that to force it off. I straightened out a bit of the spring and now it fits on like it's supposed to. And, once things are loosened up once and cleaned up, it's not so hard to get the spring on and off--you just have to twist it in the loosening direction to get it to move freely.

The only problem is, now that I've got this put together and attach the crank handle, I'm starting to suspect that I've got the main spring wound the wrong way.
