Hi Busakaz

I am not really sure if this is even what I need. I have a Waltham Model 1877 18s Appleton Tracy with broken Escape Wheel pivot. I am looking for the part number and perhaps cross reference numbers, or other models this part may be available in. I think I found a catalog which gives me part number.  Looks to me like 948 is wheel alone. Numbers 949 and 950 are slow train and quick train parts Not sure which one I need. What Should I look for? Below is a picture of what I need to replace. I will save this part for a later date when I take a shot at pivot replacement.

Is this basically what The other Manual of American Watch Movements has to offer as far as Waltham's go?

Here is a copy of Catalog I found in case another beginner can use it.

MY Bad

Looks like this is open face configuration so it would be 951 and 952

My book doesn't list that movement number it only lists 1883,1892 in size 18 and all part numbers have 4 numbers not 3, let me know if I can help

regards kaz

Ok I purchased a donor watch with the escape wheel I needed. Both watches are model 1877 but different classes. The escape wheel pivot from the donor fits in the bottom plate jewel but the pivot is to big for the top plate is it customary to trim the pivot to fit  or replace jewel?

There always seems to be an issue with watch repair. It just shows you how much you really don't know every step of the way.

      Its 4 o'clock in the morning here in the Uk, i cant sleep, i dont sleep, not much ever really. My brain never shuts off to rest, I'm just a constant thinker, i have to be very tired to be able to sleep,  i guess eventually it will be my undoing and my health will suffer because of it I'm sure. But while I'm here i want to get as much out of life as i can, and give as much as i can, to help,maybe to make a difference to someone's life if that is within my capability,recent events have made that need even more clear to me. I'm not sure where I'm going with this or why i bring it up , or if its relevant to want i want to talk about its just in my head right now. What i do want to talk about is something thats been on my mind for ages. I like to be prepared,  I'm not fond of surprises because surprises take control away and i am a bit of a control freak at times. This forum, Our Forum if i can call it that, is here because of two reasons. The guy that created it and keeps it funded and the people that joined it.  Without either, it would not exist, and lets face it one day it won't ( I'm a realist and i talk about things others dont or who are afraid to in other words folk that dont particularly prepare for the inevitable). How many of us visit here regularly ?  How many among us almost depend on the forum as a way of socialising because they are stuck at home and how many of us has it become part of a daily routine to check in and see if they can offer advice or get help with something they are working on or just to have a chat and engage in some banter. The members here are in the thousands and thousands have disappeared over the years many had just a fleeting visit. But there are a good few of us that know each other quite well and visit regularly. I dont know about you but i wouldnt want to lose that communication with you all, in all honesty it has become an important part of that side of my life and helps to feed my passion for all things watches. Some of you may think differently and thats ok, some of may stop and think # what would i do " Without Our Forum " #

      Naptha appears to be a general name and its content can be varied depending upon what it's specific use is. Lighter fluid as an example can be light or heavier also with other ingredients to help it burn. Try sesrching for benzine ( as opposed to benzene which is linked to causing health issues ) . There are other fluids such as ethanol that you could try and also methylated sprirts, mostly ethanol with a small percentage of methanol added. Experiment with any new chemical to see how quickly schellac dissolves in its presence. I have tried a few things but hexane is not one of them, i understand it does evaporate very quickly.  Be sure sure to check out any safety data on chemicals you try. Toxicity of fumes and flash point information, ultrasonic machines can heat up fluids even without a heater function. And of course always ask here for personal opinions when trying a new substance.

      What tools does ebay have to offer this week.

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      I have that set and really like it. I prefer that crystal holder over the one that came with my Bergeon claw tool and any time I use the claw I use this one instead of the Bergeon one, just an additional bonus with this tool.

      Is the Roamer not a split stem? I'm confused on your how your case is put together. If it is a front loader where is it you are putting the case screws? I love me some Roamer, do you have any photos?

      Oh nice. I have a similar wedge style stump for my staking tool, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks!
