Recently, I picked up a non-working Bercona. The watchmaker could not find the parts needed to fix it. Any suggestions on where to source them?

The caliber is Berco INC RL 1117.
The parts needed are the balance staff, click, click spring, and a new mainspring barrel.

Thanks in advance.

Probably a Ronda RL 1117 as in the image. I’m not surprised no parts to be found! Two jewels, pin lever escapement! Nobody fixes them! Maybe try to find a complete running one, and do a transplant.

From my research I found that click springs seem to usually be fabricated rather than purchased, and the click could probably have whatever it needs done soldered or something?

Except for all the OTHER parts it needs!

Why don’t you post a want to buy on the OB, and show the picture I uploaded? May not do any good, but whatever?

Right, but just saying it might be easier to find just the balance staff and mainspring barrel.
