Bought A Staking Set Yesterday

Looks like a top notch staking set you bagged yourself there, just hope it don't arrive like mine did..

Ouch. That sucks. I just emailed the seller, who is supposed to be shipping today, to ask him to package the items securely.

 

Thanks, SSTEEL.

In the uk it is against consumer law to put a customer in a worse position than he was before the purchase. Ie they HAVE to refund postage.

Except this was probably an auction and so consumer law does not apply.

Thanks, Clockboy. You mean the two smallest holes in the anvil are blocked?

 

After seeing SSTEEL's picture, I emailed the seller and requested that they pack mine securely. Not only did they do that, they marked each row of stakes separately so I could put them back exactly where they were. They also found 20 or 30 "bonus" parts that had been stuck behind the wood things that the stakes fit into and sent them along. Can't say enough good things about this seller.

@Don: Nice set Don, and great choice since you will have plenty of new spares when you need them! Congratulations!

 

@Micky: That was terrible Micky, I hope you sorted it out in the end. Did you have to replace the damaged parts, meaning, was there a way to fix them at all?

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

    • interesting strategy for an electric watch which typically will have permanent magnets that really don't like to be demagnetized even if they are listed as permanent. typically I've given up with that question because it's wishful thinking that anyone would have test equipment beyond the DVM. Test equipment for electric watch would be a variable voltage power supply, some way of measuring microamp current and a DVM for resistance and voltage.   while they look almost identical at least to the casual  observer I don't think this is a 9154 which is why attached the technical up above for 9150. But to be thorough I will attach the technical for the 9154 and some images I  found on the Internet so 9150 as for contacts for the coil assembly with one home attached to a screw. than the 9154 only has three contacts the 9154 as a different coil arrangement were now it only has three terminals none of which are attached to the screw. So the image down below of this watch is a 9150. Although not the same all of the cleaning procedures testing etc. will all be identical other than the coil resistances current consumption will probably be a little bit different.   yes the joys of YouTube watch repair where nobody ever reads the tech sheet and is unaware of the impending doom that they typically never have but anyone following will. Yes you definitely want to look at the tech guide before you even begin the disassemble or it will be not a happy outcome.   if you are hoping for a quick squirt of lighter fluid and the watch would run I think you're out of luck. Electric watches typically have very little power and require the gear train to be extremely free moving in other words no sticky oil at all. in addition to when people change batteries it's very bad to get anything like old battery corrosion or anything else into an electric watch. So basically no quick fix here. 3540_ETA 9154.pdf
    • Did you see the caseback and the hallmarks on it and the case? The movement looks like an L48, not a 151, and definitely not a 49.
    • I have both but prefer the digi.  I asume i need to test the coil for ohms  somehow or if theres any voltage running thru Well I sorted it.  I have a crown and new stem on order as the old crown is missing.  The old stem is still in the case and movement. I thought maybe the stem wasn't pushed in and was in setting mode. Pushed the stem in and Mickey is off and running.      
    • You were always going to be up against this project, but you had the guts to go for it. Determination will see you through and you certainly have that. Good luck with the rest of the work 👍
    • Is it an Analogue or Digital Meter?
