Hello everyone.

It is good to be here. I am *just* getting started in collecting budget vintage watches.

As I expected, I find that I had better learn how to service such watches myself. I hope to get a starting watch tool set and a lot of used watches in need of repair from "that auction site" later in the year. Most likely I will eventually enroll in the lessons, but that will be some time in the future.

Best,

trigus

      Setting lever spring

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      The first broke while i was using a dremel to shape the jumper spring at the join, i guess you call it the fixator, the disk grapped hold and flicked it off . The second time same place but while i was filing.  This steel feels more malleable, it is annealed steel. Working out the detent on the jumper is a real. pain in the butt.

      I'm trying to get a balance spring Mantel clock to run to time - even with the regulator set to Slow it's gaining 40mins a day (the balance spring was damaged on receipt so it may be shorter than it should be - can't think why else it should run fast, especially as it is quite dirty & apparently hasn't been working for some time.). Anyway, looking closely at the train I've noticed the pre-escapement wheel is slightly 'dished'. Could this have been done by a previous tinkerer to get around a problem that should have been addressed by e.g. bushing pivot holes?

      Hi Rich, now i realise that you spring broke. how did it broke, may be when grinding the fixator part with the dremel? If so, then guess You have let it to vibrate free, this is wrong. One must keep the spring pressed with finger to boost the vibrations, other vice it resonates and breaks.

      The movement is so called 'Tongji', standard chinese movement. The stem can still be used with the help of extender.
