Worth Restoring ?

[jnash]

Ive sent the feelers out for parts , I'll start on another project as I wait. Thanks for all your help

Part came today so back on track however i am STRUGGLING to get the gear train bridge back on. i thought the quartz chronos were going to be easier but the rotor magentism is moving everything....

any tips on this in general.. ive left it for now as i dont want to do any damage and come back to it later!

If it's anything like the 7t32 I rebuilt, it will be a proper bugger. Walk away, re-group and start again, and repeat if necessary.

Check on a trick Lawson uses in one of the eta movements he servises (high end 955.xxxx). Can't use search now but it is in the walkthrough section. Hope it helps!

Had another go before I went out and got them in, kicking myself as I damaged a pivot of one of the rotors , not the end of the world but still annoying. Taking a trip to the suppliers , so adding it to the list!

Purchased a new rotor and went to it today... VERY happy with the result :) everything is functioning , chronograph is working as it should, another notch on the belt . found a strap I'm happy with too from my stash.

Well done Jonathan, the end result is looking great. You're now the proud owner of a functioning piece of horological history, I hope it gives you as much pleasure and service as my one has over the years. :)
