HI

These are two pallets 1 old and  i just purchased. They both do not have the little nipple thing that goes into the jewel hole.Surely this is wrong?

Or is this another silly beginners mistake?

Movement is as 1506.

The docs on cousins show the part but not so you can see the bit you wanna see.IMG_20200916_153323.thumb.jpg.17652f861726df8876608779a3362859.jpgIMG_20200916_153035.thumb.jpg.66de19df16f796a8fb4307e08fe84b7e.jpgIMG_20200916_153355.thumb.jpg.43cbb87e73cceb939abd2b1405d60acd.jpg

looks like were all in agreement the pivots appear to be missing. Then what about the guard pin is that important even if you had the pivots? Plus the other one looks bent but I can't tell from the angle the photograph..

then depending upon the availability of the correct tools you don't really need a new pallet fork providing to guard pin is still there but that's the kind a guard pin you can replace. All you need is a pallet fork arbor. You can it take the old one out the measure it except you're missing the pivots or the site below shows two of them and no I don't know why there's two of them and yes they both have separate numbers so there has to be a reason that there's two of them it's just not obvious.

Ditto this. The pictures are a little blurry but my very first observation was that the guard pin appeared to be missing.

      1972 Bulova President "E" Sea King 11ACACB movement

      Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!

      Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor.

      I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂

      Not sure, but just looking at it, it seems like the screw on the right may be a fake? The one on the left may not be a screw in the regular sense at all, rather a 2 position device, I think you need to point the slot towards either of the 2 dots and one will secure and one will open. Like I said this is just my best guess looking at the pictures.
