I know Ian Gillan he used to drink in the same pub as me when I lived in Lyme Regis the pub is called The Volunteer, he is a hell of a nice guy, we used to talk about music.  That was over 13 years ago. I know he lost his wife it must be about a year ago.

He had a great ranging voice, not my favourite of the deep purple vocalists though. David Coverdale's voice was incredible imo. Must have been something to chat with a rock legend .

Hoookay, I need to jump back over to the safe zone, what with all the vibrating hairsprings (seriously scary. I never ever want to learn that much, I will send out my stumpers. I might need some quiet time after seeing that contraption of yours.

Meanwhile, I don't mean to ... um, point anything out that might be sensitive, and I know music is personal, but:

Carlos was a later addition to my list. Man that guy can play a guitar like its   a part of him. 

Ain't it so, a true signature sound.

When I think of hippy music I think of Hendrix, Joplin, The Doors, Country Joe , The Who and everyone else at Woodstock. Concurrently, lots of easy listening was just going out, like 5th Dimension, Glen Campbell... but at my house it was Black Sabbath, Iron Butterfly, Yes, Steppenwolf, Traffic,... In 1970 soul was breaking with the Jackson 5 which I truly dug, and still dig. Is 1971 too late to be hippy music? Because Alice Cooper's "Dead Babies" was just so deliciously evil....

I'm guessing at least one person in this convo plays guitar, and it's not me.

Don’t forget Sha Na Na! Those Woostock lists always forget to mention Sha Na Na…for some reason.😆

Really, you do not know that Carlos Santana played Woodstock? One of the youngest performers....

Really, I did not remember that. Even now, as I try to make that bell ring, it does not. Who did he play before, between, after, and/or with? I want to remember.

@oldhippy, going.... just this exchange, then I will portage the topic to the non-watch party 🥳. That, or I will ask about metronomes used at woodstock.

Day 2 3rd performer at 2pm. Followed country Joe Macdonald and preceeded John Sebastian. It is said he was on acid from Captain Tripps himself Jerry Garcia. Carlos was from the San Francisco Bay area and so was a hippy for sure!

(Looks around left, right) Yep, true enough, we are all hippies here in San Francisco. I guess I was so into yelling "Give me an F!" with Country Joe that I failed to notice Carlos, every time I listened to the LP. Or maybe his Captain Tripp candy made him invisible to some people, I know it's happened to me before 😂

Anyway @Razz, there's one @oldhippy here (I told him that is an oxymoron) who told us to stop talking about music here. I will start a music  thread some day in the Anything Goes section but so far cannot figure out the right question to start with. When I do, I will come lay some fairy dust on you. If you start it first, I will be much obliged 🤩.

Here is a link to hippy music and horology. Janis Joplin had a song Mercedes Benz which had the lines "dialing for dollars is trying to find me, I wait for delivey each day until 3 ..."Here is my Timex telephone dial from 1975. Is a non runner I picked up for a future project. Old hippies from the Bay Area will know what the line is referring to...this watch takes me right to my youth in that place and time...DSCN53982.thumb.JPG.d56510c343abb2850526b04948ab1297.JPGDSCN53972.thumb.JPG.6e0ac3bb9bfaaf02918a03bc3019f66d.JPGDSCN53962.thumb.JPG.bcde0b89541ae7418ef4af25260688f1.JPGDSCN53942.thumb.JPG.c92abcd7958b00618bb51691c0ee1444.JPGDSCN53932.thumb.JPG.9692295e17854196118bee216aa54dc5.JPG

      Ross yes we all love the forum and yes a lot of these facebook groups are awful and will never compare to what we have here. But facebook is exactly what you make it for yourself, some let the world know what they had for tea and if they threw it up again lol. It took me years to enter into the realm of facebook and 95 % of it i ignore completely,  i use it to my advantage, I'm not an addict of it like most of the world is. My profile contains absolutely nothing about me, its not even my real name, all it is for me is a vehical for me to access information, if i dont like what i see i ignore it. You develop an attitude of indignation towards the vast majority of it.

      Thinking.  Mark has said he would be here for the foreseeable.  I have looked at other watch forums. One will not let me join as my 'browser' is not set? Another feels very complicated. Another has showing of collections of Rolex etc, all vying to show what they have. Not what they do for watch servicing. And, the criticism of others is so prevalent.  I asked a question and received, "Read a book more often" as a reply. I was given advice and constructive criticism by members, who advised the book, but realised as a result of my dyslexia, my difficulties. And so spent time assisting me.  I like and enjoy this forum. I am at 2 1/2 years into my self imposed 5 year apprenticeship. Averaging 10 hrs per week. I can do virtually anything that needs to be done. I still lack some tools. DIY skills makes a lot of things available to me. Someone made the comment about 'Facebook'? Open my life for the inspection of others? No thank you.

      AS 554 from 1930

      Come on chaps i need some ideas, i have the right staff for the movement, i can probably make up another hairspring and balance wheel with some effort involved, which might not run time accurate but i can deal with that. What I'm really stuck with is an oversized roller hole to fit onto the staff. I cant make a roller, so i have to make this one fit, which is looking like a fastening in repair with adhesive.  Getting the staff in centrally is going to be difficult, I'm guessing the space around the staff is about 50 microns. My other option is to track down a different staff with a better roller fitting profile but match profile sizes elsewhere,  or another correct roller, I'm sure this one has been broached out. It may not even be the correct roller, the staff sits really low inside it. I could just rodico the roller on and then test to see how it interacts with the fork.
