I only wish I could afford a Bergeon winder, in fact any winder, is even by a cheap chinese one off the bay if I could find one, I'm afraid if I take the mainsprings out I have to hand wind them back in place, which I don't really have to much drama doing, it's the removing of the bloody things from the barrel that I get the problem, no matter how careful and slow I am it will always come flying out of the barrel.
I've lost count of how many I have painstakingly untangled after this has happened, but apart from one auto spring where the bridle snapped in three places I've managed to get them all back in the barrel successfully.
Sorry if I've hijacked your thread abit mate, any ideas on cheap mainspring winders
