Anyone have a new mainspring for a Gruen 707 they can sell me? '48 catalogue shows dimensions of 1.90 x .12.5 x 320. which i believe converts to 10 x 9.5 x 12.5 in Dennison size?

Doesn't appear to be interchangeable with any other model than the 7 jewel 713 (which i've never seen).

Still here....

I checked my stock and I do have an original Gruen packaged one. The only concern I have is whether the spring is still ok. My experience is that 50% of these "new" old stock springs have lost their capacity and if you can find the same dimension new you're much better off. I most of the time fit new springs nowadays unless the dimensions are impossible to find.

Anyway I got one in case you want it.
