Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm currently searching for a used, most likely will be vintage, watch cleaning machine locally. Any advice on what to look for in such a machine would be greatly appreciated. I recently came across an Elma Record Watch Cleaning Machine being sold by a seller [picture attached], but it appears to be in rough condition. Initially, I was interested in it for the motor, which reportedly works. However, the seller mentioned that scrap dealers were offering more, and after a brief negotiation, he stopped communication and blocked me lol. Interestingly, the seller later relisted it at a lower price than what I had offered ($10 equivalent). I appreciate everyone's input and tips, thank you!

Hi Rich, I doubt that it is epilame, as USSR watchmakers (those who repaired watches) usually newer heard of such thing existing. It is not for sure powder from worn stone, Rather something that the movement was exposed when the cover was open. -

Hi Hector. Never have I seen anything like that. Other t an tht it looks a nice clock from the outside pitty the movement is in poor shape -
Will you be kind and show the balance complete? Is it a flat spring or overcoil ? Rgds

Well spotted Nev I wonder if that is aluminium oxide from a worn fork jewel or something to do with an epilame treatment. ?
