Hello Folks. 

Well, I hadn't been a forum member for long last time I was here,,, and I haven't been on in a long time. Just about a year I think. A little frustrating as I was and am still very excited to learn, I did purchase a fair amount of tools and stuff, a few old watches to start on, dove right in, and then, I kinda got married, bought a big OLD house, changed jobs,,, list goes on. But, here I am. Look'n for help.

I'm in the process of building a sauna in my big OLD house and,,, I purchased a set of old-school sauna heater controls, one never installed (seems to be in good working order) and another that has seen better days. It runs on a timer. I would like to repair it if I can, and with y'all's help if you'll offer... 

I know it's not the usual thing but it's purely mechanical, has gears and drives itself (or it's supposed to). 

I took it apart and I really think no one had ever been into it before, but I could be wrong. I didn't find any broken gears, no shattered parts, a broken spring BUT there seems to be a spring missing somehow...?

I hope someone will help.... I'll post a couple of photos to start. I think for most of you, it could or will be a pretty simple diagnosis. I don't see what the issue with it is at this point and yeah, need some help.

If you'd like better or different shot of this thing just say... I'm open to all ideas and will do what I'm told, lol.

      Second hand watch market.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Hello good watch folk ,I  just fancied a light hearted discussion after my head was starting to spin over Epilame 😅. Specifically I'm meaning the sale of vintage watches, say nothing past the 1980s market. The stuff we see on ebay and other similar sites and found at carboots, curio shops etc. And are  we thinking its reaching a peak volume ?  Younger generations clearing out passed parents and grandparents possessions.  The younger folk are not as sentimental as the old fogies ( I'm now nearly at an age that i used to think was old fogie age ). When might it have started ?  i often wish i discovered the hobby much much sooner when selling your grandfathers pocket watch at a boot sale for a few quid was just a way to offload some tat. And when might it slow down. Thoughts anyone ?

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yes i did eventually realise that the oil will act as a barrier, I'm sure the discussion will continue. Ive had two oleophobic coffees ( added coconut ) and in the meantime i have this just delivered to take my mind off epilame for the time being. My favourite type of dial, its a beautiful looking watch traditional English made and it runs,  the ticktock is phenomenal,  i can hear it across my living room .  You wont believe how much it was. Thats interesting about synthetic oils , i thought the same, going from a 2 year service to 5 years is a big drop in income for service folk.  I expect some did well when they embraced the use of synthetic,  probably drawing in more customers than those that didn't use the new fangled substances , i bet fairly short lived though. The more frequent service makes more sense to me, not for just the service but for the regular check up inspections that might pick up impending faults. As far as epilame goes, wouldn't it be great to be able to fumigate the complete movement in a sealed jar of heated stearic acid, 🤔 now theres a thought 😅.

      AS2031-57E solar panel - mission: impossible

      By Albyon · Posted

      Imm going to close the discussion by attaching the photo of my super-titanium after several vicissitudes finally working. Purchased as not working I replaced the battery and for a stroke of luck I found its semi-new solar panel which, having verified its operation, seems to recharge the accumulator perfectly. I had taken this watch almost by bet, with 40 euros I brought it back to life. The initial half idea was to resell it to finance another purchase, but.. it's definitely a nice item. It would need to check the impermeability but it's a pleasure to see it on the wrist 😃

      Insert the movement inside the case

      By Albyon · Posted

      In fact the secret is to go gently and find the way without forcing, and the movement enters without problems
