I suspect it originally had a stem tube, but I cannot be certain.

Assuming the movement is an AS 1950 then according to Ranff the stem is a W3086

http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&AS_1950

This (also affording to Ranff) also fits the rest of these members of the  AS 1XXX family

family:
without/with date respectively:
1800/1801: 10.5''', 18000 A/h
1802/1803: 11.5''', 18000 A/h
1940/1941: 10.5''', 21600 A/h
1950/1951: 11.5''', 21600 A/h
signatures: AS, ST, AS/ST

There is at least one seller on ebay at the time of writing this, but hunt around for those other movements and you may find more. The crown I suggest would be anything that fits the stem and matches the colour and style of the watch, since we don't know what the original looked like.

    • @oldhippy - wishing you all the very best of recoveries
    • Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest. Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved. However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.
    • As mentioned by the other members, it’s a dismantle job clean and inspect the solder joints. It’s an older generation using the paxolin pcb  not the glass fiber ones.
    • Hi  in regard to your questions,   The springs should ideally removed from the barrel but to do this you need a mainspring winder that are quite expensive for a one off. Or you c a make your own see Google “ joes mainspring winder”. I have made two and they work well, you will also have to source some tube for the retainers. the gathering pallet cann be removed using levers ( mini crow bars) again I made my own no problem. the case can be glued using evostick wood glue but bind the case together to close the crack. When solid you can use wax sticks (used for furniture) melted and rubbed in to cover any blemish left. best to clean the case and then use bees wax to polish, a bit of elbow grease needed  do not clean the dial with anything other than warm water and a couple of drops of mild soap. Try on an inconspicuous part first. There is a product called MILIPUTTY in various colours on eBay that can be used on cracked enamel dials depending on how bad it is .
    • I was wondering because of the alum idea.
