Only because it is Elvis am I trying to get this in working order.  movement works and it will play the sound. The pin which acts as the switch when the case pops open is badly bent. I have managed to get it a little better but, the contact is not always making. Will use the multi-meter to see where the circuit breaks.

well I have the sound working fine when the front case is opened. But, sometimes when I close the case the music still plays. 

Looks like the pin does not have much pushing it down. so maybe I'll add a smart bit of metal to the area that presses it down.

      Balance cock stud screw

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery.  Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper  around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.

      Waltham 6/0 d winding stem

      By ooteenie · Posted

      Hello,  i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best.    thanks in advance.

      So great to see and hear- your mum looks great! …my mil had a stroke last summer in the golf course parking lot. I’m flying out tomorrow to visit and play golf. she’s ornery because she can’t get off the tee but I hear she makes up for it on the greens since she’s been putting since a week after her stroke 🧐…
