Hey guys

Been getting parts for this over a period of times and thought i had finished it.  Its going and winds,  but i seem to be short of a couple of wheels for the auto wind. I have circled were i think they should go. The problem is there is no decsent worksheets or parts on the inter web so i dont know what the parts that are missing are called or there part numbers.

Any help would be appreciated. 

cheers

Hi @gary17

Watchguy has various usefull pics from when he services movements.

Here are some of the Zodiacs he's dealt with: https://watchguy.co.uk/cgi-bin/library?action=show_brand&brand=Zodiac

Okay there's not an 88 but just go for something from the same family. Here's an pic from a 76 which is what I think you're after: https://watchguy.co.uk/cgi-bin/media?image=P1070864.JPG&email=&wat_id=3350

So from the parts diagram that @Randy55has located for you look at the grouping of the parts for the automatic wind mechanism. Those areas you circle should have parts 1488 and 1530.

Sorry for the delay.

Movement sans automatic winding module. (apologies for the wrist cheese).

Underside of the automatic module, quite simple and theres no additional springs or clicks to complicate things.

Topside of the automatic module, sad that its quite badly scratched up.

Good luck!

    • @oldhippy - wishing you all the very best of recoveries
    • Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest. Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved. However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.
    • As mentioned by the other members, it’s a dismantle job clean and inspect the solder joints. It’s an older generation using the paxolin pcb  not the glass fiber ones.
    • Hi  in regard to your questions,   The springs should ideally removed from the barrel but to do this you need a mainspring winder that are quite expensive for a one off. Or you c a make your own see Google “ joes mainspring winder”. I have made two and they work well, you will also have to source some tube for the retainers. the gathering pallet cann be removed using levers ( mini crow bars) again I made my own no problem. the case can be glued using evostick wood glue but bind the case together to close the crack. When solid you can use wax sticks (used for furniture) melted and rubbed in to cover any blemish left. best to clean the case and then use bees wax to polish, a bit of elbow grease needed  do not clean the dial with anything other than warm water and a couple of drops of mild soap. Try on an inconspicuous part first. There is a product called MILIPUTTY in various colours on eBay that can be used on cracked enamel dials depending on how bad it is .
    • I was wondering because of the alum idea.
