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

      Vertex Dirty Dozen retainer ring

      By mikepilk · Posted

      I too have a cal 59, but it's in a gold case with no movement ring. What I'd do is look for a job lot of movement rings on ebay, and tweak one to fit. They are easy to cut and bend, and you don't have to be exact on diameter as there is a cut out for the stem

      I'm going to be setting up a decent little workshop here at home.

      By Michael1962 · Posted

      Well today was the day that we loaded the last stuff that we are getting rid of into a big skip that we hired to get rid of the spa bits. I pulled down my hanglider from storage in our garage and out with the spanners. The sail and some stuff that is not salvageable is all in the skip. The aluminium tubing and stainless brackets have all been reclaimed and have been stored. Why? I have been struggling to find the tubes that were demonstrated with the Joe Collins winder on YT anywhere, so I presume that they were made to suit. I haven't really been able to find any tube that I could use. I now have a plethora of tubing that is not just plain aluminium, but is aircraft grade aluminium and is a fair bit tougher. Different diameters as well so that is a bonus. Doesn't cover all the diameters of a set of spring C clamps, but beggars can't be choosers. I have already worked out what I am going to use some of the stainless for. I will attach it to my clock movement testing rig so I can then use the light gauge pulleys and ropes that I salvaged to set up a way for the clock movement rig to be pulled up to the ceiling when not required. I also have to route out some holes in the side panels of the rig so that pendulums can swing and so that I can see into the movements from the side. I really must take some other photos.

      Mainspring winder question.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I really like these adjustable winders, in particular the multiple choice of arbor sizes within the same winding nut. Mine are the Star brand but that is more than likely just a retail name. If you find the spring ends snapping from slot to slot then just release some of the tension, let the spring unwind a little and then feed the end in by hand. A drop of oil on the insides of the prongs and ease off the edges of them makes them less harsh, but no personally i would leave the arbor hooks alone, try backing them out where the spring isn't so tight as it is at the very end, I've had the hooks release completely this way.

      Mainspring winder question.

      By LittleWatchShop · Posted

      you can push out the old pins and replace with new pins on "most" arbors.  I have seen a few where they were "pinched" rather than pinned.  Also, you can push out the entire arbor from the knurled knob and turn a new arbor, pin it to your desire.  Very flexible...IF you have a lathe.

      Mainspring winder question.

      By mbwatch · Posted

      No, not handed. That's why I bought it I think. I assumed I would work on more Japanese movements with left wound springs, but that hasn't turned out to be the case. I think the only left wound movements I have ever done are HMT (Citizen). I've considered filing down the arbor pins a bit but don't want to ruin it. Occasionally I see a set of the K&D arbors alone show up for sale and maybe I should buy some to modify.
