I've at the very early end of the learning curve and am halfway (although that may be optimistic) through my first ever disassembly/reassembly and service, which I'm using a Seiko 6119-7000 for. I've completely disassembled (well, not got down to popping jewels out) and cleaned and am currently reassembling. But I can't get the 'framework for automatic device' (FFAD) to sit right. There's something that is acting almost as a rocker that it's sitting on so if i screw the FFAD down at both ends it is in effect slightly bent and seems to be preventing everything from moving. Is there anything on the transmission side that needs to 'slot into' the FFAD? I've just re-looked at the diagrams and I'm not sure but maybe the transmission wheel slots in, didn't spot that last night. If so is there an easy way to get it lined up? ("No" I hear you all cry in unison followed by knowing laughter).
Thanks, Pip.
