Peseux 7066 Help Needed

Hi everyone,

 

I'm still learning, so go on, have a laugh.

 

I've just serviced an Accurist 21J Shockmaster and got it running nicely. To lube the balance pivots I've done the classic and lost the top jewel retaining sping. I thought I was being so careful as well, but 'ping' off it went somwhere.

 

The movement is a Peseux 7066 with date function, so I assume the same spring is used in the 7060.

 

Can someone identify the spring clip required for this one. Part number and source please. I would not know where to start.

They seem to differ, I saw this one online which is probably a later 21J version or not a 7060/7066

They are not the same shocksprings .If you look att the top one it has a slot on each side . But the lower has three slots . What kind on the other side of the movement .lLooks more like incabloc springs?

I have just worked on a PUW1561 which has a similar opening for the spring.  Tech info indicated an incabloc but this was not the same as fitted to movement and I couldn't find what type it was having pinged mine too!  Fortunately I found it again, sometimes a magnet can find as they maybe plated steel.

The pics shows the spring type fitted to the PUW.  The rounded end slips into the u shaped part and the fingers clip into the oblong part.  Best hold the curved part in the slot with teweezers or pin and move the arms in next.  Have you checked the dial side to see if the spring is the same?

Thanks for the input guys.

 

 

Am I right then is saying 974.03 would be for the regulator side and 975.03 the dial side?

 

It looks more Incabloc than KIF. But if you look closely at the dial side spring there's a small tongue on the spring that's in line with the slot. Maybe that was an early Incabloc.

Hi all,

 

Just to clear up any misunderstanding, the spring I'm trying to identify is for the Peseux in the first (orange background) photo. I'm not trying to identify the spring in the second photo. That photo is just to show how a similar movement has a different anti shock system to mine. I agree that one is KIF.

 

I'll try to upload a better photo tomorrow.

I also searched the web for ages and didn't find anything similar.  As my movement was only a 'practice' one I wasn't too desperate to find a replacement.  Unable to find a replacement I ended up filing down a similar sized incabloc (at the t-end) and just about had it fitting when ping!! off it went ino the unknown!!!   At this point I decided to move on, but thought I would have on more try at sweeping around and hey ho I found the original!  Hope you find a suitable replacement and let us know what and where.

That is a Rufa antishock spring . This is a förster with Rufa springs

I'm back with good news.

 

While I was taking a photo of the jewel and spring on the dial side, I decided to give the movement a little tap. Guess what fell out, not just the spring, but the jewel as well. Truly remarkable.

 

So here we are then. It would still be nice if it can be indentified. I'll refit it and upload another photo in another couple of days.

      Mechatronics Engineering v Mechanical Engineering

      By HectorLooi · Posted

      I existed before the term mechatronics engineer existed. I had to combine electricity, electronics, pneumatics, hydraulics and computing just to keep my own equipment working. I have never sub contracted any of my own repairs to the suppliers because I know I could do a better job. For a long time, dental suppliers in my country would bring their dead equipment to me that their own engineers cannot handle. I have accidentally embarrassed a couple of hospital heads of engineering by demonstrating their inadequacy.  I think mechatronics is the most under-appreciated, under valued of all the engineering sciences. I had a part-time dental assistant about 25 years ago, who was studying mechatronics in the polytechnic. She was absolutely clueless about the job prospects for a mechatronics engineer. I asked her about her aspirations and she replied that she really wanted to work in the games industry.  In our dental profession, equipment have evolved from simple mechanical to electro-mechanical to logic-driven electro-mechanical and currently to computer driven machines.  The medical equipment suppliers who employ mechanical engineers and/or mechanical engineers cannot cope with the repairs of the newer equipment. And many times end up changing whole modules and whole machines just because they cannot repair them. But I think HR is afraid to employ a mechatronics engineer just because they don't know what a mechatronics engineer does. Mechatronics is much more fun. It combines almost all of the engineering sciences and produces an all-rounded engineer. But until HR changes their mindset, not all door will be open.

      I can't find anything similar either.  All the writing on the case was a form of advertising, stem set, Swiss lever etc usually found on older watches.
