Doesn’t really work for this, really it needs to be an invite only platform with good moderation. Full disclosure I spent a fair amount of my career as an IT/Network security consultant and am very touchy about what I may release on ‘tinterwebs. Tom -
A better solution than having a list that will be compromised for spam would be to have a contact email. In other words an emergency email or even for that matter as separate website for emergency use as opposed to we all list out our names and emails and get spammed to death as there would be almost no way to protect that from bad people. -
Thanks for the various replies. Here are answers to some of the questions/suggestions switching the winding shafts doesn’t work because the no7 I need is significantly larger than the bore of the no6. i do have a set of chinese winders too, but as noted they’re movement specific and none fit the bill here. I don’t want to replace the mainspring a)because I like to keep things as original as possible and b)where I live it’s tough to import parts so i have to wait long periods between supplies so in conclusion I expect to be handwinding the spring this weekend -
From the photo the pallet arm looks as if it has been tampered with the edges are not nice and straight this can cause problems on the banking pins. -
Update, I discovered that I could change the mainspring by removing the arbor and sliding it out from between the front and back plates. So I put a new mainspring in. This it what I get over a 7 day period After winding amplitude is 1 1/2 turns plus a few degrees. ie just over 1 1/2 turns. 1 day after winding gained 1 sec no amplitude check. 2 days after winding gained 1 sec amplitude 1 1/2 turns i.e. it lost the few extra degrees 3 days afer winding gained 3 sec no amplitude check 4 days after winding gained 5 sec amplitude 1 1/2 turns i.e. unchanged 5 days after winding gained 7 sec no amplitude check 6 days after winding gained 16sec amplitude just over 1 1/4 turns 7 days after winding gained 24sec amplitude 1 1/4 turns. From Based on video inspection, I am getting full pallet lock. So, my data seems to be at odds with the statement "swing of a balance wheel has nothing to do with the rate". However, I have noticed the banking posts are not controlling the lever position on the right side. I may have some work to do here.
