Ingraham Modern Eight alarm clock

[Mark59]

I'm looking for a hair spring for this old timer. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks guys 

 

 

Be gentle, I'm new to this.

There is one on ebay that may have the same movement, as a parts donor, here:

Does yours have a similar winding and setting arrangement on the back?

Movement details would help.

I have looked through Clock History. Com and have not been able to find the exact moment but here are a few pictures. It's a 2 spring alarm clock model.

Is the hair spring missing as the photos are not clear enough to see. 

[Mark59]

Yes, wasn't there when I opened it up.

This is a thread on what appears to be the same movement, on another forum?

And this appears to be a fairly cheap donor with the same? movement - that rear layout with both mainsprings around the same level and the top centre regulator seems pretty unusual and distinctive:

Thank you for that information, not exactly the same but most likely close enough to work. But I also picked up some great information in the post comments about the date code, "Ingraham sometimes put a date code on the handset knob of their alarm clocks". If that's true then this should be a October of 1935 clock or somewhere like that. Just researching this stuff out is so much fun for me.
