Does anyone know off the top of their head if the vostok 2809 stem is the same as any other type of watch?

Never heard of a Vostok calibre 2809 (but I guess I could be wrong). Are you sure it isn't a 2409? (very common, and very reliable, in my experience). If so, then yes, the stem is the same for all 24XX movements. Definitely, the same for the 2409, 2414, 2415, and 2416B which are the ones I have been working on. Looking for a replacement? I'm curious, so please tell us more! I'm a big fan of Vostok watches and their 24XX movements.

The Vostok 2809 is a long out of production  chronometer grade movement .Meranom is a great source for current production parts.but not for things that have been out of production for forty years. I have a few 2809 carcasses but not one stem. searches for one online have met with negative results.maybe a 2209 or 2409 stem will work.

      Reusing mainsprings in an automatic and slipping

      The idler gear I'm referring too is the one between the 2 barrel wheels. These movements just rely on the spring slipping to prevent over winding.

      Not sure how useful this might be, but a while back I bought some bamboo tweezers (multipack with a ridiculous amount of them in) and have been using them in place of pegwood. Seems to be working just fine

      Ah, well there is the rub. I ordered a post and oscillating weight, but clicked on the wrong thing when adding the weight to the basket adding an automatic bridge. Ordered a weight, and it's somewhere in the ether after our customs and excise folks rejected it because of the documentation.  Yes, both springs inserted the same. "Is the idler gear ok", and here's why I posted to the newbie area: So, reading between the lines, and again correct me if I'm wrong here, the automatic winding mechanism will have an ideler gear, along with the reverse wheels, that prevents over-winding? There is nothing (that I'm aware of) between the crown pinion, crown wheel, and the ratchet wheels to prevent over-winding other than the mainsprings slipping in the barrels.  This is only the second automatic I've worked on. The other, a Vostok, had a very obvious mechanism.  I shall look at the automatic winding mechanism in a bit more detail when I've a bit more time. At the moment I'm taking a glance here now and then when work is dragging 😉 As ever, thank you for your help. Always appreciated.

      If the weight was worn how does the post look as normally you'd have to replace both. There should be no real resistance at the end and just be able to keep on winding. Did you insert both springs the same and is the idler gear OK.

      Assembled and running well, I'm asking after the fact. I'm waiting on a new oscillating weight as this one was worn (they have a reputation for it apparently, no bearings). So I've been winding it by hand, but meeting quite a bit of resistance at the end, more than I think an automatic weight will overcome. It's not quite as sudden as a manual mechanism, but there's very little in it, certainly enough that I would be concerned about breaking something if I continued.
