I had a look at a headband one today. I can't imagine that the headband would be comfortable after a few hours and it had a little flip down monocular like the headband above. However, I am left eye dominant and since my stroke, depending on how I look out of my right eye (non-dominant side), I suffer from nystagmus. I'll let you look that up. Suffice to say it makes steady vision out of my right eye basically impossible when it happens. The tireder I get, the worse it sometimes becomes. -

OK. News. My friend from up the street has given me a way forward with the delaminating ply sections, so that is good news. All within my capability so a plus there. I took the magnifier that I had purchased back today (they weren't very happy about it). I'm not sure that they believe me that 5 dioptre means approx. 2.25 x magnification. So I will have a look further into a headband loupe. Oldhippy has given me a link to those so I will have a bit of a trawl. Surprisingly difficult to find suppliers in the colonies. Do you have any idea how difficult it is now to find screwdrivers in a set that are not magnetic? I'll keep looking. This clock will be the next one that I look at after the Hettich. -
And worth a bloody fortune!!

Like the knurled knob. As I said in my post, the lower arm can still flex a bit if squeezed hard against the stop screw. I had in mind to stiffen up the arms to prevent this but not got round to it yet. Bergeon haven't contacted me yet! Soon be available from China no doubt! 😆😆

Question
bsoderling 57
Hi all,
Finally gathered the courage to try a Timex!
I found this automatic dirt cheap (pic’s attached) but with a nice dial so why not give it a go.
Found that the h/s spring was quite bent, probably due to someone being careless with the timing setting. Got that sorted decently without any disassembly and now the wheel spins freely and h/s looks ok.
but it doesn’t start up and when turning the crown I hear a distinct click after a few turns that makes me think there’s something wrong with the main spring. Are these movements equipped with a similar slipping m/s as regular automatics? The sound I hear makes me think more along the lines of a broken spring in a manual.
I understand we have some devoted Timex guys on the forum and would appreciate any hints on how to proceed.
