Guys I could really do with some help tracking down or purchasing a pallet fokr for an Elgin 562 (also used in the 546 & 542 Calibre)

If anyone has one please let me know.

 

Alternatively, there is this movement https://www.ebay.com/itm/Elgin-562-8Days-Parts-Movement/184002298464?hash=item2ad7644260:g:vfoAAOSwt6RdrGMN

I can see from the pictures the pallets are present but the seller is unwilling to ship to the UK.

I would be more than willing to send the money to a member (respected) in the USA to purchase for me. Remove the pallets and just send me them. 

If anyone can help me, I would be happy to pay a little for their time and effort getting me the pallets.

 

Many thanks.

When people does this it really annoys me. Normally is because they fear that they will have to pay a shipping difference, or take a trip to the Post Office, or fill forms, of course none of that is true. There is even a single stamp global stamp that can be used for up to 1 Oz.

Indeed, I'd be quite happy for them to remove the pallets and send them in a regular envelope as a small letter.

Many thanks for the offer, unfortunately it doesn't appear that the 462 pallets are compatible with the 562:(

      Gilding after silver soldering

      By AlanB · Posted

      When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan

      Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon

      By Zedster · Posted

      According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb

      Dial feet removal

      By JonC · Posted

      When building a new Watch I have tended to use a file to remove the remnants of dial feet that are not needed as many dials come with four feet to accomodate different movements, but this can be a bit messy so now I use this with a great deal more precision as you can use an appropriate bit for the job and keep it very localised.
