You are purchasing a set of three (3) brand new precision made
governor springs suitable for most Victor Victrolas, Victor Talking
Machines and many His Master’s Voice Gramophones that were made between
about 1909 and 1929.
Many of the Victor/HMV motors made before 1909 require springs
that are longer, wider, and thicker. Do not use the springs in this
listing if your motor requires a different type – they will not work
properly and will snap very quickly. Measure your springs/governor if
you are in doubt or write to me. If you require the larger springs do
not buy those listed here but please contact me through eBay and tell
me the Model and Manufacture date of your Talking Machine, Victrola or
HMV Gramophone. If you do not have a Victor or HMV machine please do not
buy these springs unless you have verified that the size will work for
your application.
Mounting screws, washers, and weights are NOT included in this purchase but are available separately.
About Governor Springs
Governor
springs should always be replaced as a complete matching set. This is
why three are included for your Victor/HMV. Even if you only have one
broken spring and insist that you need just one, you should replace all
three at the same time. The mechanical characteristics (e.g.
strength/tension) of original springs will always be different than a
new spring. New springs are stronger and will necessarily have greater
tension than an original that has been repetitively flexed for 90 to 100
years. Hence, mixing new and old governor springs will lead to
vibration, motor noise, and unnecessary wear of the governor bearings.
These components are manufactured in my shop using
dedicated equipment/tooling and fixtures that I recently designed. I
have other tooling for different spring sizes, so feel free to inquire
and be sure to specify the exact size you need. I recently started
developing the tooling and fixtures necessary for the production of
mainsprings and hope to make these available soon.
I have chosen to make springs using only the very
highest quality tempered blue spring steel available. All of this
material is tempered, slit and then polished at a US based factory to my
specifications. Coupled with the die sets and high precision shears and
punches, I can provide you with virtually burr-free parts that are the
most durable, consistent and accurately made of their type. I guarantee
that the springs I am providing are of the highest quality presently
available. Simple components like these are among the most critical when
it comes to reliable, noise-free, and vibration-free operation of a
motor. Don’t gamble with inferior parts. Save your time and your money
by using my springs.
