  1. Been working on the Waltham 1892 balance staff project. Many problems have reared their ugly heads. This, while frustrating, is a good thing from the perspective that one learns from solving problems rather than have things go flawlessly. My current dilemma is one of balance staff end shake and the best way to correct it. The balance staff I purchased many yeas ago did not work out, but that is for the write up forth coming. The new balance staff has one thing in common with the old in that it is slightly bound when installed (1703A staff 6mm length) The previous repairer installed pigs ears on the balance cock to give some end shake. While a common thing to do and a simple fix, I did not like it and I filed them off. Research here and else where suggests a shim would be more acceptable. Would not shortening the pivot length be a better choice? Where time is money the shim seems the logical choice...or would anyone bother to go to the trouble of sanding and polishing the pivots for length where time is not an issue. As always, thoughts and ruminations welcome. Ron
