Anyone got a parts list for 1960-70s Citizens ?


Recommended Posts

I collected a bunch of balance numbers for the Citizen I worked with and think yours should be 039-39.

039-11 cal 1800
039-18 cal 2710
039-22 cal 2201,2101,2210,2110
039-39 cal 5201, 5202, 5203, 5204
039-41 cal  0180
039-45 cal 2111,2211
039-69 cal  6601
039-85 cal  6501
039-1020 cal 8200

On the bay there is an ad for these...

Thanks. I thought it might be. There's a 039-039 balance on ebay for a 5430 - which is a similar movement to the 5204..

There were a bunch of movements using the same balance staff and therefor probably the same balance complete.
Here are some:

5201, 5202, 5203, 5204, 5210, 5220, 5230, 5260, 5270, 5290, 5400, 5401, 5420, 5430, 5460, 5470, 6400, 6420

    • Hi! I am in the process of restoring a rado captain cook mkII. I want to remove the rotor, but I am not sure how to and need some help. As you can hopefully see on the photo there are 2 screws. The left one has two positions, the right one looks like a regular screw. I have tried turning the right one, but it does not give even after using more force than I would expect. Anyone know the function of the left screw with the two positions and how to remove the rotor? Thanks!!
    • Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy
    • I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!
    • Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.
