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

      No main barrel endshake on Waltham model 1900

      By AndrewSi · Posted

      Problem solved. For some bizarre reason, the hook on the wall of this barrel is not properly centered vertically, but is oddly high on the wall, maybe 3/4 up the way up. When replacing the mainspring, this caused the outer coil to be displaced upwards as well such that it protrudes out of the barrel and caused the barrel lid to not sit quite flush to the barrel. Since this is a motor barrel, the lid is actually the first wheel and inner coil tube/hook all in one piece, with no “snap down” action that would have made the problem more immediately obvious. Maybe with an older mainspring the spring’s end hole was enlarged such that this wasn’t an issue, but hard to say how it ever worked otherwise. Replacing the barrel with one from a different model 1900 where the hook was properly vertically centered allowed the lid to sit flush without mainspring interference and the friction problem went away. The bridge was far too thick to be bent (and isn’t), for those of you thinking that was the problem. Placing the removable arbor in the watch without the rest of the barrel proved that the proper end shake was actually there as long as the overall height of the assembled barrel was correct.

      Mainspring winder question.

      By Jon · Posted

      You are so true on a lot of what you have said. The main reason for changing the mainspring even if the old one is in good order is because it will take out your thinking that the mainspring is contributing to poor power output or fluctuations in amplitude. If a new spring is fitted that box can be crossed off as a potential source of a problem. Most customers are happy to pay the extra £20 for a new mainspring if they are already parting with a couple of hundred pounds for a service. A new spring is an investment for good running for the future.

      LeCoultre Memovox dial and escape wheel.

      By nickelsilver · Posted

      According to Borel the 814 and 815 use the same escape wheel. It's kind of an oddball being so long.
