  1. Hi, the cylinder is broken and I want to try to fix it. I don't have any specific tools, so how can I solve the problem? A new plataform or just the movement/pinion?
  2. I am currently working on an old small pocket watch which has a cylinder escapement. The hairspring on the balance is a little out of shape towards the regulator end. If I have to remove the hairspring from the balance staff to resolve shape then how do I reset it back on the balance staff so that it will be in beat, or near enough as a starting point before adjustment of the hairspring collet position on the balance staff. I know with a swiss-lever that the table jewel can be visually be aligned with the pins and the lever pivot and escape wheel pivots, so is there a similar method for a cylinder escapement bearing in mind there is no lever. Any advice much appreciated.
  3. Well I've finished another project, and my first cylinder escapement movement. As can be seen from my previous thread " movement ID" you can see what i was up against, some very helpful members, Stuart and oldhippy huge thanks for the knowledge you guys shared. i still have no idea who made the movement or how old it is, all I know is that it's now ticking nicely and has kept perfect time with my phone (dial up) for the last 45mins. I shall over the weekend change its position to see how it keeps time. I tried it on the timegrapher but the machine didn't like it, don't know wether my Chinese one is programmed for cylinder escapements, but if it keeps time as it is now I'm not fussed. I tagged L&R ultra fine as members have been asking what it's like, well the last photo shows how well it cleans movement parts, also the picture of the dial is before I tried out some steradent denture tablets, Wow they really work, 3 mins on warm water and no cracks visible( they are still there but all the dirt has been removed making it nearly impossible to see them) I can highly recommend these as a way of cleaning enamel dials. Now some before and after photos......
