Hi , Connection problem, so preveois post was short.

If you are talking of excessive friction between canon pinion and it's  driver wheel, normally no more than  oiling ( tiniest bit)  should do, however, if the tube section of canon pinion is sqeezed /damaged so much to make contact/friction  from inside of the tube, I would vote for replacement. Plenty of eta 2836 parts on various sites.

The tube of the pinion isn’t damaged but it seems to be excessively tight where it is attached to the driver wheel. It is so tight that the minute wheel will pop off if I attempt to use the setting wheel.

I will take the whole assemble off and see what I can see when I get the time.

Thank you for your considered input. It is appreciated.

I wonder if there is maybe a build up of oil oil or corrosion in there. You could try polishing it with an abrasive like autosol or brasso and then thoroughly cleaning before lubricating again. Or just buy a new part for £5.

Hi Joe

I took it out and it was full of crap. I cleaned it and put some grease on it and it eased it a lot. I am cleaning it again and I will grease it again and put it back and see how it goes but it turns MUCH more easily now than it did before.

It took a x15 loupe to see all the filth!

      Setting power reserve on LeCoultre Futurematic

      By watchfellow · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems setting the hand is a bit of a guessing game, and I thought there would be a very specific way to do it. Since the reserve indicator hand moves clockwise as the spring is wound, I tried setting it right at the start of the black side. But setting it there doesn't really make sense, because by the time the spring is halfway wound, the hand is only at the end of the red side... In my head halfway wound shouldn't mean the hand is still "in the red."

      Lovely part of the country! I spend most of my days driving along the A64 for work in and around York. I'll be sure to drop plenty of questions soon! I've actually got a couple of watches on the way that I'm pretty sure I'll need some help with! They look pretty beat up from the pics but I love a challenge and an excuse to buy more tools 🤣

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By oldhippy · Posted

      I have two of these in my home. You need to remove the movement from the case, take off the hands and remove the dial and take a few good photos of the front plate so I can see what the problem is. The round nut unscrews and the hands pull off pull them off from the center and not the tips as you could break them.

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By MapleWood · Posted

      Hi everyone, I tried looking for answers on this online but came up with nothing, so I'm hoping some of you knowledgeable people might be able to help. I have an Elliot clock that has been in my family for at least 4 generations. I recently enherited it, and I'm trying to get it to run properly again, as it's been neglected a bit.  Here,s the problem. These clocks have a silencer mechanism, which is supposed to stop it from chiming between 11PM and 7AM but for some reason mine is silent between 1AM and 9AM. I have tried figuring out how to adjust it but have not managed. Does anyone have any idea on how to correct this? Please find attached some pictures of the clock. Thank you!
