One part at a time to see where she stops. Would be interesting if indeed it is the center pinon because I think that is the one part that makes this movement unique from its closest relative.

yankeedog Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) of course... Murphy's law is an immutable scientific fact. Maybe some dental floss through that shaftway ? Edited March 11, 2019 by yankeedog content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyHull Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Is the click spring on the barrel winder (highlighted below) available as a spare part? If so, where would I source them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyMo Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 the same part was used on a few different movements. So yo can look for NOS movements or in a scarp lot of not runners. Or you can contact me and I'll send you one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty95 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I was wondering If you could help me trouble shoot a problem I'm having. So bought a 91 Timex camper. I am fixing it up at the moment. However it doesn't want to stay wound. I found that if I wound the watch and held the crown (so it wouldn't back spin/unwind) the watch ran and all was well. Is it possible that the, " click spring on the barrel winder" as AndyHull referred to it, is worn out and no longer able to resist the wound tension? Thank you for any insight you maybe able to give on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for any insight you maybe able to give on the subject. that does very much sound like the click spring is worn down. When new the tip of the click is a v shaped fork. Over time the bottom section wears down so no winding gears just slips. short of a replacement there is no other correction that will hold up.
