Floating balance question

Recommended Posts

It doesn't seem to be a floating balance to me. If I see correctly, then You should dissassemble and clean it. And pay attention to the down side balance bearing to see if it needs some restoring. If it is a real floating balance (on a string, and hanging on the hairspring), then dissassembling it without damaging is almost impossible.

Many thanks. You are right, I see now, it's not hanging. There is a screw at the spring end. The spring is fastened to the main section with a tapered pin. I'll undo that carefully when I disassemble it.
