FWIW - Bestfit shows Lip using Incabloc. It doesn't show Lip using KIF.

There are probably 200+ different size KIF springs/settings listed in Bestfit.

Honestly, from the photograph posted, I wouldn't say for sure that what is there is a KIF.

I admit that I'm an idiot but I have never seen two different varieties of shock springs used on a single movement. I wonder if during a previous service somebody simply used a spring that fit?

Again, FWIW, neither the 23 or 25 series LIP movements here

http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&2&2uswk

show KIF shock springs. In fact the 25 doesn't show any shock springs.

Of course, for the $6 charged by the guy in the eBay link above posted by @HectorLooi you could get what somebody thinks ought to work.

      B-Dip residue?

      By pent · Posted

      So I was cleaning an especially dirty balance spring with B-dip because several turns were sticking together.  However, after a wash and dry, it seems there are more turns sticking due to the B-Dip.  I can see it clearly in-between the spring turns and it is not evaporating.  I even stretched the spring upwards a bit to let them air out and they continue to stick.  This is after two washes.  You can still see the liquid between the springs. Not sure if anyone has seen this, but I don't know if this is an indicator of my dip going bad or being contaminated.  I would rise with IPA, but the stud and collet aren't pinned--they are either glued or shellacked so I won't risk it.  If I keep seeing this, I'll probably switch back to a heptane or naphtha for this type of cleaning, but I wanted to see if anyone else has seen this with B-Dip.

      Very useful Video

      I only watched the start, but he's out on magnification by a factor of 10. It's 7X to 45X, not 450X
