Which they did. The new one works great, and I have to old one (two levers still work) as a backup.Camhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863241891948280552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-4525805355234457102017-04-04T03:52:42.691+01:002017-04-04T03:52:42.691+01:00Quince!

They also told me to wind clockwise only and if the hands get stuck, to spray a little bit of WD40 on it. I hope this works for you.
