hey guys.

This is off a omega 283. Can someone please tell me whats wrong with it as i cannot see it.

 i can post pics of that if needed.  If i move train wheels by hand they all work through to the escape wheel. If i wind it a little it runs through turning the escape wheel as before.

But if i put this balance on even though the balance is seated properly and if i touch it with a brush it move back and forward it will not work with the train.

 

If i move the pallet by hand it goes through the esc ape wheel step by step. So i am left with the balance.

Any ideas?

cheers

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By dnhb · Posted

      The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

      In think you are effectively shortening the coil by shorting out damaged tracks. In my case as long as the continuity was good and the resistance not too greatly affected it should be ok .  One was on an era  movement,
