Cheers Mates!

This time Im working on a Baumgartner 582, Buler Aeromaster.

Watch did not work because the impulse stone or finger was on the opposite side of the pallet fork, and when feeling the collar on the spring. It was very very lose. It almost fell of...

My question is:

Can this collar be pressed smaller?  Or if I do that, can I be sure the balance staff is not ground down to much?

Is this usual practice for an watch maker ?  Or is it better to get en replacement  ? (spring and balance wheel)

 

Again, again  thanks for all help,  ....    :-)

 

Best Regards

 

Armand

How do you know this HS resonates the wheel to the accurate beat.

If the collar fits nice and firm on the staff with just a press of the collar's gap, you may  want to gives it a try.

I have seen collar glued on the staff seventy years ago. Runs too.

If you got suitable tools , the collar can be replaced.

You may find and buy at reasonable price ,such obsolete HS or balance complete off of the owner, through watchparts.org of UK.

If a learner, I would glue the collar on,to read the results on your machine. If acceptable or slow, I will continue to consider shortening HS, collar replace.    And so on.

The Aeromaster is a cool Watch I have one of those too stored in the corner of my dark abyss.
The HS looks like the original one so I can't see why that would not resonate correctly.
But sometimes when serviced one use the HS collet slot to adjust the impulse stone to the correct position. When doing this one might widen the slot or gap a little bit and the end result is what you seen in your Watch, the impulse pin moves to a erratic position.
Gently tightening the collar will solve this problem but be carefull when doing this so you don't mess up the HS.
Gluing  anything into Place in a watch is not anything I recommend to do. In this case you might want to adjust the collar position a bit and that will be impossible if glued into place.

Oh no  removability with ease and reducing risk of damagd, is a good part of the idea with glue.

I use a type of glue that will disolve in solutions friendly to HS. That way the risk of physical damage to HS is reduced. 

If Arko can " tighten the collar ... But be careful   not to mess up the HS"    Lets all listen to his watch ticking.

Regards

      Thanks again for all the help. I found a number on the movement (715) after much searching. I guess it's the below movement so I will order than and see how I get on. https://www.ronda.ch/en/productfinder/caliber/715

      Hi. Thing to do is measure the battery space.  Diameter.  X depth ..    I have seen it listed as  sr626sw.  377 measure to check then check the dimensions of the 377.

      Hello!  Does anybody have this tool?  This is mine.  If you have one, does it look complete?  How do you use it.  (I have the instruction sheet but it's hard to read!)  thanks!

      @JohnR725 that's very helpful.  I appreciate the time you took to give those instructions and post the pictures.  below is a picture of my staff, which looks identical to the ones you posted.  The approx measurements I got are: .772 on the left part of the staff; .715 on the right side of the hub; the hub is 1.107; and the overall length (minus the broken pivot) is 5.248; which seem to line up with the measurements you posted.  I didn't think to measure the pivot, which I'll do if there's enough of one left on the staff.  Thanks again.

      Thank you to both of you!  I've been somewhat derailed by this quandary for a couple of days now. I am guessing that the point of the wider tweezers is to support the whole spring at the same time in an effort to prevent it going under tension... I have already discovered the Zen of a clutter free space, and trying to keep my work well away from the edge, however the most terrifying of the flights wasn't so short, I had my work in the middle of the table and nothing else around.  That particular launch was towards me.  I distinctly recall feeling the spring hit my left hand as it escaped.  I only found it by dumb luck, on the floor, between the legs of my chair.  I need to order a pack of replacements just in case.  I think I recall a thread discussing where to find them, and the differences between the clones and the authentic ETA ones, pointing out that they're not interchangeable (the clones being longer IIRC).  Now I just have to find that thread again.  What I haven't mastered is the zen of the search function here.  I'm sure I"ll get that down eventually. So this is similar to, but different from one of the posts I had found in my original searches (or maybe I'm just hallucinating, I can't find the post I thought I remember).  The bits about the corner filled in a gap in what I'd read before.  At least I have a more clear picture in my head about what needs to happen now.  Yes, I've learned about how touchy these springs are.  What I'm not sure I have a good grasp on is the understanding of what causes the spring to flex, other than to say "the slightest little touch"  I think I'm going to try a small bit of Rodico to position the spring next time.
