There is no question.

I seen the spec sheet, but it doesn't show the assembly.

I have also spent about a week looking for pics on the disassembly on the internet.

there is none.

I was trying to be helpful.

If these pictures are inappropriate, then have the post removed.

Hi No problem , but without an introduction and no explanation we were somewhat at a loss to what it was, thats all.  Thank you for the dis assembly pictures  I am sure they will at some point be a useful addition  .    cheers

We have a section "projects and walk-throughs" for illustrating to others how to work on a specific mov't, it should be one of the most important forum resources. These should have least some comments about the critical steps or anything you find interesting. Please have a read there to get a better idea.

Sorry I wanted to add, if my posting above sounded stiff that was not my intention, I appreciate the time the OP has dedicated to our unique forum and was just explaining its organization.

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

      By coreymsnow · Posted

      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.

      Early ‘90s Debenhams in Oxford Street at InTime Watch Repairs. The older guy was one of my mentors Mr John Campfield, fantastic ex-Omega watchmaker. Good times - black hair gone now! 😄
