Yeah, I know I don't have to say that...but...  Heading out for my annual trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.  Will miss this forum and my watch shop but will exchange for the solitude in God's creation with no modern distractions (well, I am taking a SATCOM device, otherwise my lady might not let me go). 

Be back online sometime early June.

Keep on ticking!!

I am back.  It was very challenging weather.  20mph winds with 40mph gusts...thuderstorms, cold, rain...but we had a few sunny days.  We had to paddle out 10 miles in rainy stiff winds.  Not fun.  However, I am proud that...at my age...I completed the trip.  Fishing was horrible.  Late ice-out meant the waters were cold for the time I was there--so they tell me.  The fish were asleep!!

Wish you could send some of the cold over. It's 34°C with a humidity of 85% on most afternoons here.

Well done mate, pleased to see you back in one piece 👏.  Tell me again, why did you go ? 😅

      L&R Varimatic Needs Adjustment

      By clockboy · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  out of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years ago and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic.

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By dnhb · Posted

      The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

      L&R Varimatic Needs Adjustment

      By storminwestie · Posted

      Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
