Hi Yankee   been through all my lists for lift angles cannot find seiko 66 anywhere,  Watch guy has a list and also the lepsi website,   can find citizen 66  L/a   34 probably of no interest.  SCWF web site is for seiko citizen may be worth a try but you have to register,

Always up for a challenge and my collection of tables drew a blank too, so...

Whilst you can follow this post to work out the lift angle https://mb.nawcc.org/threads/how-to-find-lift-angle.132025/

I found myself figuring that any other movement with the same pallet fork would have the same lift angle, so going by Jules Borel http://cgi.julesborel.com/cgi-bin/matcgi2?ref=T_ZF]JS we see Seiko 4006 for which the lift angle is published as 58.4 which is quite high so you should be able to check if you think you are in this ball-park.

Let me know when you find out as I have a Seikosha 957 which is in the same family

      Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!

      Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor.

      I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂
