I too have had a problem with residue from B-dip on hair springs. I bought a bottle of expensive B-dip and put mabe a 1/3rd of it into a separate (clean!) jar and has using it to clean pallet forks, balance and end stones. I am not sure when the problem started but I definitely have seen (at around 22x mag) a residue on a balance cock and had hairspring coils sticking together. I don't know if my B-dip has become contaminated but it looks clean and I have only been putting a select few dry components in there. To remove the residue I gave it a good rinse in naphtha (lighter fluid) and then a quick swish in IPA followed by some puffs from a blower to quickly evaporate the IPA before it damages the shellac. This procedure has worked really well and I have had good results (better than naphtha alone) -
Hello all I was wondering whether a staking set could be used to replace friction fit crown case tubes? -

Could be that very reason that the ruby pin is bent, i did take a few photos but the issue doesn't show as bad as it is in the flesh. As it happens, i swapped out the balance and didn’t reposition the pallet pins because the tg trace and amplitude is amazing for a pin pallet. 2 + 3 pictures are DD at 1 hr and at 12hrs after fullwind, 4+5 pics DU 1 hr and 12hrs and 6+7 pics are CD at 1hr and 12hrs -
When demagnetizing a balance thats not in the movement, I put it in a small jar with some hexane and place that on the demagnetizer. That way the coils won't get damaged. -

I get ya 👍, not a poundshop window sign that says " cheap bargains galore " more of a " value for money treasures" moniker
