ETA 2081-2 Movement.


Recommended Posts

Hi

I have a Stocker & Yale Military watch with the ETA 2081-2 movement. A part in the winding mechanism is bent preventing stem insertion and setting and winding. Does anyone know of a source for parts for this movement or if another movement has part that is interchangeable. 

Thank you,

Tony

Hi Tony, A popular data base to start with is Dr ranfft's, google like this eta 2081 ranfft, the entire family of this caliber and bunch of relevent info gets cranked out. Another data base is julesborel.com which lists parts in detail.

When you say it's bent and prevents the stem to be inserted, is it the setting jump lever (8) in the picture you mean?
It doesn't look very bent to me. Just out of interess, could you take a picture with everything assembled in the keyless except for the minute train bridge (30).

I attache the tech sheet so you could see which parts I mean, the definitions are ETA talk.

On the most modern ETA 28XX -2  parts from the keyless are the same .
If you by some reason aren't allowed to buy the parts you need later on you could always send a private pm to me.

It is hard to see it is bent since it is laying flat. When I say it won't set or wind, it is because I can't insert the stem. When assembled, pushing on the tab to insert the stem causes the works to pop out of place. However, if I insert the stem in place, and then assemble the rest of the works, it will set and wind. Then when pushing on the tab to remove or insert the stem, the setting lever jumper as well as the setting lever pops out of place.

Also, thank you for the information about the other ETA movement.

When you take the stem out you shouldn't push the lever nob with a pointy device. If you do the risk to push it to far is imminent.
If you turn it around you will see it has a sloted shape where the lever pin sits, when you will take out the stem you gently push with a screwdriver which fits in the slot. Doing so will prevent you to push it too deep and pop the setting lever jumper out of position.
the setting lever jumper should lay flat on just as it does on yours so that one is not yet a gonner you can just bend the most of the levers slightly downwards when putting it back together, my picture is from a 2824-2 but you can see how it should look like. (except for the dirt ; ) )

The keyless works is operating. Not as smoothly as I would like but it is functional. It took some delicate bending in two places to achieve it. In the mean time I'll keep looking for a replacement.

Thank you so much for all the information you gave me. It was most helpful.

    • All the best, family always comes first, and I believe you have made the right call that you mother deserves your full attention. However, when you need a little outside distraction the guys here will always be available for some banter or a heated discussion on lubrication 🤣.
    • Wire for what? if it's steel then only certain types of steel can be hardened ie high carbon steels: "Mild steel doesn't harden very well. It doesn't have enough carbon. Get something like O1, silver steel or if you want to go full watchmaker, then Sandvik 20AP". Source
    • I'm wondering if there's any specific type of wire I should get for hardening? I would assume it doesn't matter as long as the wire doesn't melt before it is at temp. 
    • Thanks Michael, sorry you were affected by this terrible condition. It can happen to anyone, 50's is the starting territory for it. My mum has been telling me for decades, " if i lose my marbles then shoot me",  my standard reply for that has always been " dont worry mum i bought the shotgun years ago ".  The same goes for me, not being able to communicate or comprehend is a very lonely place, now known to me as Aphasia. My mum had no warning of arriving there, I've had my warning and it was my mum that gave it to me. 
    • It's the hole in the mainplate that has become too big due to wear. I will try with some fine abrasive paper wrapped around a small file. I will start with 3000 grit and see what effect that has. Or I could try with a homemade burnisher. Anyway, I will post the result here soon.
