The balance complete. One of the attached member comments indicated that the collet on this balance is welded and not removable. That was actually my central question. -

The cowboy used to have small bush welded to it. Now the bush has broke off, the bush is still on the pivot of the pallet fork. The pivot is intact, the bush can be removed from the pivot and laser-welded again on the cowboy -
I showed this one as part of a lot in the 10:10 club thread. Was not working and one a speidel flex bracelet A 218 1 from 1975. Presentation piece from Goodyear. Could use a crystal. Sourced an accucell. Put on a decent band. It was a bugger to get going. Will need a full service but could feel the buzz but just would not move. Finally after reading the chapter and going back 2 or 3 times to the book realized it was probably just gunked up. Can't find one dip so used a slight bit of carburetor cleaner and a fine oiler to clean the debris off the pawl stones and micro adjust them on the index wheel Since I got it running about 4 hours ago it has not lost or gain 1 second. It is as smooth a sweep second hand I have ever seen in person. Very mesmerizing...

Welcome to the forum. Looks like it was fixed to the balance so would look like he's riding the horse as it ticks but the pivot has broken so isn't a simple fix unless you've got experience.
