EB8491 vs EB8420, 8420-73, 8420-74


Recommended Posts

Hello Black- and Locksmiths, Clock- and Watchmakers,

would anyone know if the EB8491 balance weel would be compatible with one of the 8420 variant?

8420 suffixes:

suffix -73: new balance, since 1973
suffix -74: set lever held by spring instead screw, since 1974

I downloaded the doc for 8423/8429 and the interchange parts docs from Cousins but I cant see how I compare the 8491 to the 8420? Would it be compatible with the -73/-74 version?

Thanks in advance and take care,

Lui

It seems they share both the same balance cock and the balance. I got some help from eBay. Now the next thing is to verify whats the difference between 8420 and 8420-73. I got both of them.
