Need a small spring

I am in need of a small spring for the clock in my 66. This is the little spring that pulls the setting **** back in toward the clock after you pull out on it to set the time. I was tinkering with mine the other day, and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't set, till I found this little spring fubar'd. The clock actually still works after all this time..........
So, anyone have a spare spring, or know where I might find one?

You might try a place like Instrument Services that sells quartz movements, as well as rebuilds auto clocks to stock specs or with quartz movments. Also buy a non working clock fr parts.
