For the £100 price bracket id go with a JPL 8060D-H . For the money they are really good and have all the features you'd need, i have one in my workshop and its great.

 

Here's one on the bay but you can get them from a few places > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JPL-Ultra-8060D-H-Professional-Ultrasonic-Cleaner-3-Litre-/131291011406?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

Yes I found it:

Which should come with all the necessary baskets:

But honestly, 103GBP is a lot at the moment... I was looking for a used basket... but seems they are nowhere to be found?

Hi George, I have an old set of baskets which came with my elma & I replaced with the blue set from cousins. They are just taking up room in a drawer. I'm currently in Turkey on holiday, but on my return I'll post some pics & your welcome to them for the cost of postage if they are any good to you.

It's the above that makes this place great, George will be delighted!

The help, advice & welcome I've been given on this forum (community) has been priceless. If I can give back in my own little way it would be my pleasure. I just hope they are what George is looking for.

DJT2,I honestly do not know what to say apart from thank you! If they are the same diameter as the cousins', then they will certainly fit! I will gladly pay the postage costs just tell me how much is it. I can't honestly wait to see the pics :) Man I love this place even more now!

Hi George, unfortunately you'll have to wait another week for the pics. I'll be in Turkey until Thurs next week. But I assure you it will be my first job after unpacking[emoji1]

Hi George, really don't want 2 build your hopes up 2 much. There not the current style baskets as found on cousins. I've just had a search on the Web & found a pic of something similar. ed1baaa211c59bf4b2674d8a0823b821.jpg

DJT2, I have no problem if they are current design or not, as long as they fit on my Elma Record, I am fine :) By the looks of the basket hooks on th epic you posted, I think I will be perfectly fine with that... Just let me know when you are able to send it and the cost, so that I can pay you back.

Hi George, last day of holiday today. So I'll be home tomorrow, expect the pics by tomorrow night & I can post Fri morning.

Sorry Mike, got a bit carried away.

If it helps, as well as the L&r cleaner. I use the elma E15 ultrasonic, I was lucky enough to find one on eBay for around £100 & TBH I still see them come up from time to time. I've never compared it to the other cheaper ones of eBay etc.. But I'd definitely recommend it.

Hi George, not wishing to hi jack this thread anymore. But last post from me on this subject. Hope they will be fine, PM me your address if you want them 3a1bd93f24b69d863578c8041310fc96.jpgb433379a603561d86a23891daf417401.jpgb57cad86f8658b5c9bb8589e99f2111a.jpg

    • I'm assuming that every time you set the watch you are work hardening the detent spring, maximum hardening is  where it meets the plate due to maximum deflection.   That's why it snaps there.  The Young's modulus may be the same but after it's reached its maximum yeid strength it breaks.  My mechanic engineering is very rusty, correct me if I'm wrong. 
    • Ah ok yes that makes sense to polish it where the arm starts to form from the body of the bridge, i thought you meant the underneath of all the arm.
    • this is something I've never quite understood about the some of the Swiss companies. In 1957 Omega was using 9010 for the keyless parts with epilam. there's been a slow migration towards using heavier lubrication's but still typically oils and epilam to keep them in place. When it seems like 9504 works so much better.  
    • OK, welcome in the world of alarm clocks... I guess the 4th wheel is dished because it is from another movement. If it was not dishet, then it would not mesh with the pinion of the escape wheel, am I right? The marks of wear on the 4th wheel pinion doesn't corespond to the 3th wheel table position, at list this is what i see on the picts. Calculating the rate is easy - there is a formula - BR = T2 x T3 x T4 x T5 x 2 /(P3 x P4 x P5) where T2 - T5 are the counts of the teeth of the wheels tables, and P3 - P5 are the counts of the pinion leaves. Vibrating the balance is easy - grasp for the hairspring where it should stay in the regulator with tweasers, let the balance hang on the hairspring while the downside staff tip rests on glass surface. Then make the balance oscillate and use timer to measure the time for let say 50 oscillations, or count the oscillations for let say 30 seconds. You must do the free oscillations test to check the balance staff tips and the cone cup bearings for wear. This kind of staffs wear and need resharpening to restore the normal function of the balance.
    • Glue a nut to the barrel lid, insert a bolt, pull, disolve the glue.  Maybe someone will have a better answer.
