Yes SSTEEL I found yours after I'd posted but couldn't remove my post.

 

In the end I decided to leave it as a separate post as it would be easier for people  to spot.

 

I did find this after searching the web, please don't think I highjacked your information.

Nice to meet you SS.

 

I followed your posts about restoring the watch cleaning machine with great interest. Shortly afterwards I obtained the same model at great price and your posts were an invaluable help.

 

After a full restoration based on you posts it now looks and works like it was made yesterday so thanks a lot for that.

 

I think you also posted about Jeweling sets. I've got one with a few issues then picked up another one from eBay  and now have a great full set.

 

It looks like we're a pair of Black Country Brothers !!!

 

I know it's quite a way from where you are but we're off on a cruise to Norway in a week, hoping to see some snow and Northern lights.

 

Don't know if it's allowed but what is the name.

 

All the best, Mike

Well we have northeren light warning - Aurora Borealis so if You are lucky look up after eight,ish :-)

If You visit Bergen do take the "Norway in a nutshell" tour, it will give You the mountains, the fjords and a whole lot of amazing places and as SSTEEL mention valleys.

Trolls are everywhere You have to look at the right places Geo :-)

See the Troll hunter trailer on U tube - thats a cool movie.

Thanks Prowler I'll certainly take your advice.

 

I do hope we see the Northern Lights, it's always been one of the things I've wanted to experience.

 

I'll be a little p****** of if I don't because at the moment we're reading reports of good sightings in the norther parts of the UK !

 

How do you sleep at night Geo knowing what's sitting at the bottom of your stairs. Spooky dreams.

    • My profile photo is age 20, last century, but I still look exactly the same so I'm not sure it counts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    • I sure appreciate your comment! I will look into one of those or maybe something similar. I of course will check your video to have a better idea.  by the way, that’s a beautiful lathe! Mine is a little peersless, but I just bought a Boley & Leinen that is on its way. That’s the one I am looking a motor for. It comes with a motor, but I want to replace it for  one that has a speed controller.
    • Indeed. I would not attempt one. Here is my messy Sherline setup
    • Hello everyone my name is Tom and I and I am new to the forum and new to the hobby. I have always had an interest in mechanical watches and finally decided to pursue it. I’m going thru online trading and have purchased the basic tools to set up a work area. I’m really looking forward to learning and thank you in advance for all of your knowledge!
    • This conversation is becoming a very confusing. The etachron system is a very nice system for manufacturing watches. As you know it consists of two components the stud and the regulator pins. Beautiful thing of this system is you can open up your regulator pins center the hairspring and as you close the pins they will close equally on both sides providing you centered it in the first place. It's not like you're going to become closer to one side or the other as the definition of the regulator pins is a bit confusing it's not exactly a slot sort of. I'm thinking maybe a little eight reading will be helpful for you. Then the file name was changed by me at the US patent but the wording of Seiko may or may not actually be attached to it soared up? I just did that so I can find it in my files. Normally patents are in people's name if they work for a company the company name will be there you'll notice the person lives in Japan which is interesting as the name would imply that this is a Swiss product. Somewhere I think I have the patents for the stud and I believe that is Swiss like a lot of things their Japanese and Swiss and then the Japanese let the Swiss name stand as it seems you more popular in case as you read up on the patents of the regulator pins or pin will see and it should explain exactly how and why it works also why it's important to always close at an open in specific directions because the pins actually have a shaped to them it's very hard to see the shape as it's very tiny.   As a reminder with this system it's mass-produced. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they use cameras and computers to do all of the adjustments.  The meaning of this is that the majority of watches will function as there supposed to and do what they're supposed to do the system will allow us for some minor in tolerance and has more than likely as I said no human hand is ever touched those watches that's the way they left the factory and they work fine.
