hi, I managed to get my allenby Baumgartner 866 working again after removing the main wheel (balance and hairspring one), I oiled it with slug slime oil. In the process of putting the crown back in (to fit in the case) i managed to brake some kind of spring that pushes the gears back, so now i cant wind it, crown only adjusts time either pulled in or pulled out. so yeah i can replace that i assume, no big deal i can just open it up and wind the winder manually. its all back together apart from not been able to wind it. Then its too fast! like 43sec to do 60sec! - and + did nothing. I assumed the hairspring was to tight so i reopened it and took the balance wheel out again, and now the hairspring is damaged I think? not sure. I dont know what i did, im an idiot see pics. its a mess. I put the balance wheel back but it wont start now, dont know whats happened to the hairspring. i want to learn how to fix them but I thought about converting it to quartz but its not the same i assume this is the movement? http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&0&2uswk&Baumgartner_866
