I’m working on a Waltham model 1900 (0-size pocket watch) with a motor barrel and I’m finding that there is essentially negative endshake- if the barrel bridge is tightened down, there is enormous friction between the bottom of the barrel and the main plate such that a tremendous amount of power would be lost, if indeed it can turn at all. I’ve checked for obvious reassembly errors such as the barrel arbor square ends (both of them) not being properly engaged and other things that would cause the total barrel/arbor height to be too tall and account for all of this friction, but I’m not finding anything. I’m wide open for suggestions here- there are no jewels at either end of the arbor, but I would think that wear of bearing surfaces in the bridge or main plate would cause more endshake, not less. Anyone have a bright idea here?
