Hey guys

Working on this seiko cal 1582 its a automatic but i wanted it to wind by hand as well. Is this possible?

Please check pics

!st photo show the keyless gear set correct to wind manual.

2nd i add bridge to hold in position. 

3rd after i pull stem to move to hand setting position

4th check position of clutch and setting pointer (the thing that moves the clutch lever)

5th i push stem back in to winding position check position of pointy thing and clutch this is not right to wind.

6th arrow pointing down is at the notch it needs to be in for me to wind it.

stem will not go in any further, the only way i can get it in the notch is by forcing it there by hand.

Any suggestions of were i am going wrong?

cheers

gary

This movement partly reminds me of an ORIENT calibre I'm just servicing and it can't be wound manually. Wouldn't a winding pinion be a requirement for manual winding? Can't see any in your pictures. :unsure: Still, the clutch wheel sort of looks like it is designed for a winding pinion?

Most Seiko automatics don't have hand wind. Can we have a picture of the movement side showing the calibre number as never heard of a Seiko 1582.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      Hah! Well, California will have to do. Lived in TX for a brief period back in the early 70s, though, so maybe that counts. 🙂 Funny you should mention making vacuum tubes- I've actually tinkered with that! It's REALLY tough to do, and I've never made one more complicated than a simple diode that barely worked, but I have played around at it. But there's just no infrastructure for vacuum tube fabrication. I can get a lathe and learn how to use it to make complex parts, and while it might take a while to learn- and money to get the equipment, of course- it is possible to do more or less "off the shelf". But vacuum tubes, not so much. There are a few folks out there doing some crazy cool work with bespoke tubes, but they have setups that are far beyond what I can manage in my environment and it's mostly stuff they built by hand. I also have been playing with making piezoelectric Rochelle Salt crystals to replace ancient vacuum tube turntable needles- nobody's made those commercially for probably 60 years. I'm a sucker for learning how to do weird things no one does any more so I can make things no one uses work again. (I think this is drifting off the topic of lathes, lol).

      You shoulda been born in Texas. Tough to make a vacuum tube though. You can substitute with a MOSFET eq ckt I guess. I was playing around making a pinion the other day. More to it than meets the eye.

      Replacing crystal, do I need a bezel tool?

      By zx6rfool · Posted

      Well, turns out it was a fake bezel! The crystal is domed mineral glass and I was able to find a cheap replacement that should be here in two days.  I used my crappy little press to pop out the cracked crystal, Ill give the case a good cleaning in the meantime and do a once over on the movement.
