Installing mainsprings into the Victor Victrola VV-XI spring barrels

This is the older style motor with individual spring barrels. Work slow and careful, springs can hurt you if you do not respect their power. Use safety equipment, eye protection, maybe a full face shield, and heavy leather gloves, work slow. Spring installation requires a firm grip in both hands. The later improved motors used one spring barrel to hold both springs, same basic idea on installing them, they also went to the bent end on the arbor middle side in later 1917, and changed to bent ends on both sides of the spring by 1920 or so. With these older spring styles that have pear shaped holes on both ends pay attention to the direction of rotation, take pictures before pulling the spring out. Pulling the spring out is just the reverse of installation, you reach in and pull out a few of the enter coils and work the rest out same way you see me putting it in with a very firm grip on what might be a greasy spring. Do not just blast it loose into a trash can, or the floor, you can damage a spring this way and you might want to reuse them. Key here is firm grip, safety gear, and work slowly with no distractions. If you can't grip it firmly for whatever reason then send it out to one of the companys that will do it for you and pay to have it done. Do not risk hurting yourself if you are not confident that you can keep hold of that spring.
