Hey guys 

I need a seconds hands wheel for this zenith . Is the wheel i have hi lighted called the  "fourth wheel center seconds" cos if it is i need part number 2552pc 227 if its something else i am stuck. I can only get work sheets for the zenith 2522 or 2552 and according to ranfft they are not the same family as the 2542.

Hi Gary

There's a useful document here ... https://www.cousinsuk.com/PDF/products/7299_Zenith 2522-2572.pdf ... on interchangeability for the range of Zenith movements you're talking about.

Use the 'ANC.NO' column to find the part you're after. If you're interested in part 227 for the 2542C I'd be reading this as that Zenith give the 2552PC as the base model but that any part from a derivative (any of the 2552, 2542 or 2532 models) will match. This comes under ANC.NO = 227/A. 

[The various 2572 and 2562 models on the other hand do seem to use a different 227 part].

      Just missed it! I have a donor movement on its way. But thank you for the offer--I'll let you know if I need anything else.

      My latest. Timex 2465. Replaced the crystal, caseback gasket and spring bars. All in less than $5US. Added a gray NATO strap I already had in stock.

      I've been intrigued by everyone's input here...so I decided to give this a shot. I bought the"typical" Pearl watch-machine basket and trays, for about $65. The trays are good,..the housing is a nightmare ! Thought it would take the mixer off my bench at anything above about 200rpm. The housing is cast of course,..and it's not "true" at all...so the harmonic vibration was insane. So,..I bit the bullet and bought the Elma housing and top. Not the baskets though, as the Pearl one's fit the Elma. Saved a bunch there. The basket and lid came to about $80 with shipping. The opening in the Elma top is 8mm, and the shaft that came with my stirrer is 6mm. I bought a piece of steel tube, 8mm O.D., and 6mm I.D. Cut off about an inch of the tube, and drove the rod into it. Gives a really snug fit.... Lightly champfered the leading edge of the 8mm section, then lightly tapped it into the top of the Elma lid. Spins like a dream now So... I have about $240 total into this including jars and steel mesh for the wave breakers   I'm pretty happy Best to you all   Randy

      Still haven't gotten around to getting stems or screws, but I did make my first attempt at polishing a case. I just used a soft mop and rouge to reduce my odds of ruining them, and I think they came up pretty nice. Also gave the crystals a polish on the same wheel while I was at it. They were both very badly scratched up. The one on the left is fairly beat up, but it'll still make for a decent presentation.
