As stated above I've from Ol Va. South Central part of Va to be exact.......I'm a machinist by trade and I've always loved the beauty of a mechanical watch. Two years ago I had an infection get into my nervous system and threw me for a loop. I'm passionate about metal working, but I have to go a my own pace now and that doesn't bod well with owners of machine shops....So here I am...lol....I do have experience machining and building micro parts so I'm going to see how this goes......

Welcome from another (wanna be) machinist! I had a great teacher but no access to really good equipment. I have a Hardinge second op lathe I use for my doodling.

      Managed to clear the short, cleaned and oiled the movement. Now testing for 24 hours before I case it up. The movement is so small that it's loose in my smallest movement holder.

      Message board problem

      By Mark · Posted

      Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest. Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved. However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.

      As mentioned by the other members, it’s a dismantle job clean and inspect the solder joints. It’s an older generation using the paxolin pcb  not the glass fiber ones.
