Helo Sauna Mechanical Timer


Recommended Posts

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

    • Here is another option, if you have the patience to sort through the parts you usually find 50-100 screws as well as some other cool stuff. Most times I get an order from these guys I get a 250g box, takes a few days, but end up with hundreds of spares and all you need is for one of them to be useful and it pays for itself. Also helps hone your tweezer skills!
    • As Hector said they have too much  tension, that tension is also fixed and not easy to control. Conventional tweezers have infinitely variable grip provided by us. 
    • Thank you and i appreciate that, it looks very different    Thank you sir but i think there is a little problem according to that reading it's because it is far different to the other move that i serviced, i will atouched the photo. They are different movements but this one is 7s26b movement and they are also different in shape when it comes to the ballance assmebly. Thanks also for the concerned i appreciate that. 
    • Donor movement showed up, so I stole the bridge screw from it. Which made me sad, because it's in such nice shape! It seems a shame. Maybe I'll find a use for it one of these days. Unfortunately, the stem is for a different style of case and is much too short. Fortunately, I ordered a brand new stem from McCaw Company. Unfortunately, the crown on the donor movement is thoroughly stripped out (it unscrewed in a shower of brass) so i just put the old stem back in for now until I source a new crown. As you can see, it's just a little too long for this case. Overall I'm super pleased. I didn't think I'd like the bracelet, and even that is growing on me.   Anyone have a favorite crown assortment?
    • A couple of pictures of the front… Sorry, I’m months away from this one, but…there is an edge to the bezel but I see no obvious signs of previous bezel removal and it is quite thick so it would be difficult to grab an edge on the crystal with a crystal lift. It does look like in/out thru the back…good luck…
