2892A2 Part name


HSL

Recommended Posts

Sometimes one just buys a watch as a project to fiddle with, this time I thought I would buy something declared dead.
Just to spend some time before leaving for a business trip I thought I strip down the movement and give it a go.
From the case the seconds hand dropped out and I did not think more about that, just thought it might become loose somehow.  

After removing the minute wheel and the cannon pinion it took me a couple of minutes to realize why I was sitting and staring at movement.
The tube holding the cannon pinion seemed to have snapped of and that was why the seconds hand also was loose the pinion had snapped on that one too.

I never encountered this before and are now wondering if anyone here have change this part and in that case what is it called? I have been sitting thinking and 
trying to remember it's name but just can't. Hard to order a part if you forgot its name.


Easiest solution would to buy a new plate from the bay, but I just want to take a shot on this new challenge.

Don't think that piece have a number. I should be a tube sticking up there. Which the cannon pinion sits on. They sometimes break or stuck inside the cannon pinion . A new movement plate i think is the best. You can see it in this picture. Have put it back on movements but usually it's loose and won't stay there.

I don’t think there’s any tube that sticks up out of that hole. Should just be the second wheel staff and the canon pinion snaps on to that. I have a 2892A2 sitting on my bench I’ll have to check.
I’ll report back.

In general if the movement is center second , seconds hand go through a CENTER PIPE or TUBE.  If no center second hand there would be a post.

 

Correction,  if no center second hand there it would be Minute wheel

Thank you for your answers guys, I just got a brain freeze when I tried to remember what the official name of the tube was.
Obviously it doesn't have any as rogart63 says so I just ordered a new main plate. 
Guess I have to put my  jeweling staking set aside to another day..... :(

A new mainplate!   What is wrong with old one?

Since I can't find the replacement part number for the centre tube I think for now it is better to just buy a new plate.
The cannon pinion on the 28XX is the one with the drive grear attached to it and it has to rest on the centre tube to function correctly.
Otherwise it is pusching against the seconds pinion and thats no good.
I just save the damaged one just in case one would find a lose one to change with.

well if you are intent on a challenge... make a new plate!:startle:

Guess right now it's just the time to CAD the mainplate that is the holdback otherwise it isn't such big deal to do with the CNC.
And for now I just use genuine parts. (as far as I know..lol) ;) Got to keep the Industrie running.

    • Hi to Blackminou29–am a collector/ caretaker—good luck to you following your repair course—with hindsight I wish I’d pursued a career in both watchmaker/ jeweler fields—good luck with whatever career passion you engage.   Thank you Watchweasol for posting the amazing TZIllustratedGlossary! Best wishes, Mike
    • yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here

Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.
    • The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
    • Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark
