Low Amplitude from Ultrasonic cleaning?
Hello to all who know about cleaning of the balance and cock. I need help.
I really do enjoy working on watches and have learned a lot. However, I am at a loss to know why I am not achieving what others achieve. Good amplitude.
My question. Am I cleaning too well? Balance too long in Ultrasonic?
Is it my cleaning method? I do not have access to a cleaning machine, but do achieve very good results for final cleaning of the parts.

Hmmmm- Glad things are working better, but you should be able to tighten the balance cock "fully" and still have endshake. If you get the cap jewels in upside-down (convex side toward pivot) you will remove endshake. Otherwise, over several watches, it would be strange for the endshake to disappear from properly tightening the balance cock screw. In school, if your screws aren't tight, like you think they might snap, you get your movement tossed in the sawdust box!
