:D Mark...In fact, you need to broken down the movement because you have to clean the main spring:)... putting back it together is not a sinecure....

WRT Addict, the original Timex service manuals for both 104 and 108 movements state that you don't need to take the mainspring out to clean it. The spring is supposedly coated with a solvent-stable lubricant that can withstand most standard watch cleaning solutions. Then again, the watches being old you might want to replace the spring seeing as it might have set.

 

I've been working on a movement of the same model and I've gotten it into pretty decent shape now. The biggest problem this far is that the rotor is making noise. I've pinpointed it to being caused by the studded bearing being loose. I've considered tightening the stud but I'm afraid that it might lock the rotor in place.

64americandeluxe, how did you solve your rotor problem? Or did you use the rotor from the new movement?
