Hi Ken, before you proceed I suggest you do some research on cleaning watches. Water is a bad idea for watches. There are lots of posts here on cleaning methods and what to use. Enjoy the forum.

It went very well There was a part of the electronic circuit that was defective, the readings were bad according to the service manual Fortunately i had a tissot tissonic with the same movement cal 9162 where it was the other part of the circuit that have failed, so i simply mixed the parts,took some new readings, and all were good to go, oiled and reassembled the piece, and with some gentle taps it sprung into timekeeping again , humming strong ,and with remarkable precision,under 1/2 sec per 24 hours too fast. Many thanks for the help from you all Il post some pics soon Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

THANKS FOR THAT.B.

I have attached an image that should be helpful. Usually the setting lever has a little indent to give you a clue as to where you're supposed to push. It's not always visible you have to pull the stem in and out sometimes to see it so sometimes it's when you're in sometimes it's out so that's why pulling the stem in it out and looking around the stem you'll usually see it. Then I'm attaching the service manual. Seiko 7N32C,33C,39C.pdf

Nice and Very Clean looking . I'm not a big quartz fan , but Seiko did it right with selections of this era . I'll take a Silverwave anytime .

Fire fighter? Hats off to you friend.whatever they pay you it's not enough.I think you will like this place.about 10,000 brains to pick and very few bad attitudes.

I just got one of those Accutron astronauts as well and I love it. It runs a little fast, but I understand that it just means it needs to be adjusted for the higher voltage off modern batteries. Maybe I'll find someone to do that this spring. This is my current daily though: Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Here's a favorite . I really like this guy......

nickelsilver is correct. Some extremely old clocks in not having pins have what I can only say are nails.

In a very old clock it may just be iron, but steel pins are the norm and quite flexible and soft too (they aren't hardened). You can get assortments from the usual suppliers that cover most needs. Brass is encountered as well, again, just regular old brass.

The style of case construction definitely looks like the movement goes out the front. A clue that the movement comes out the front is if you turn the case with movement upside down if the movement seems like it's loose in the case that would be an indication that it will fall out once the stem is out of the way. Split stems are interesting 90 some percent of the time you just need to pull hard on the crown. The split stem will then split apart the movement will fall out everything works nice but tiny percentage of the time that's not the way it works. There are some split stems and if you do a search we've had a discussion about this before. Some of the split stems don't split apart by pulling they have to slide apart. Usually on those type you can see the stem the dial is made in such a way that you can see the stem to get it lined up to slide apart. Otherwise you turn the movement upside down slowly rotate the crown if you're lucky it just slides apart the movement falls out. Otherwise they make special tools for pulling the crown out or tweezers between the case of the crown is give you some leverage.

there you have a edge... you canot open there? Envoyé de mon SM-G955W en utilisant Tapatalk
