Although not as nice as the Bergeon rotating stand didn’t want to shell out the cash. Spent an hour or two measuring and making this one, it does a great job and I even tapered the holes so the screw driver rests on the handle and not the blade!

Not got access to a 3D printer are there any companies that produce custom prints from an uploaded file, like you can do with PCB files.

Anyone know of such a company ?

Thanks

Yes there are on Etsy. But not sure if it would just be cheaper to get one of those Chinese replicas or the bergeon stand.

Very nice and functional design. Personally not a fan of the fancy rotating stand as you have to keep track of the colors. Picking screwdriver on the back side of the stand is somewhat annoying as you have to rotate it 180 degrees, and for this reason you will feel lazy to place them back on the stand as it is hard to recall the positions at a single glance.

Your design may actually work better for some of us, as it makes it easier to discern position. For improvement ideas, maybe round the sharp edges on the top side, or add a slot to store the extra bits?

      Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!

      Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor.

      I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂
