Accutron cleaning methodology and tools


Recommended Posts

I have spoke about my remote Accutron repair center (my house in Bryan, TX).  Here I will outline the cleaning methodology I will use.

1) the index wheel will be installed into the official Accutron holder (seen in the first picture).

2) the index wheel and holder will be placed in the bottom of an L&R basket and then covered (second and third pictures)

3) the two plates will be placed on top of the separator lid (not shown)

4) the compartmental holder will be where all of the wheels are placed, yoke, etc are placed (no parts shown in the pictures), and the top lid placed

5) the electronics, tuning fork, the pawl are separated out and placed into a petri dish.  Using a syringe with needle, I will bath these parts with one-dip.

6) the basket will be immersed into a jar with L&R cleaner (what I show is ammoniated, but I am going to use non-ammoniated going forward (when it arrives).

7) the jar is placed into an ultrasonic machine for a short period (maybe 5 minutes)

😎 remove the basket and spin dry using an L&R spinning machine (not shown)

9) place the basket into a jar of  L&R rinsing solution (not shown) and run in the ultrasonic for a short period

10) remove the basket and spin dry as before

11) place the basket into a second jar of rinsing solution and run in the ultrasonic for a short period

12) remove the basket and spin dry as before

13) the final step is to move the basket to the drying station of the L&R cleaning machine

I would appreciate thoughts on this.
