I am working on this thing. It needs a new hairspring--I am searching. But what I wanted to mention here refers to the design of this movement. Notice that one large plate that wraps around one side of the movement. It is a real bear to get it installed given that one of the wheels is buried underneath and difficult to position while trying to manage the escape wheel. The later 6/0 Walthams (e.g., the 6/0-D which I have) splits this plate into two pieces. I am a neophyte and as such, have not seen a vast number of movements. Maybe stuff like this is common. -
Perhaps back to basic school lessons may be the answer. 🤔 Put some iron fillings on a piece of thin paper and put this on something plastic that you can hold over the item being checked. Moving it about should see a pattern in the iron filings develop. If none then no magnetism in item? -
Boy, that's one time i'm glad i asked before i ruined the hairspring. Thank you. -
