6497-1 Lubrication Of Wheel Train After Cleaning


Folkvisor

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I need to clean the bottom plate - specifically where I crammed in Rodico where I shouldn't have on the cap jewel assembly - as well as the cap jewels and Novodiac spring.

 

After cleaning, should I oil all the wheel train jewels with 9010 as well as the flat side of the cap jewel before reassembly?

 

Thank you muchly for your expertise...

I find that trying to follow the funny droplets on the drawing while reassembly is too cumbersome, and causes too much switching from an oiler to another.

For this reason I try to rationalize the process preparing a list of each point that gets the same type of oil, going to from thicker to the lighter, is the direction of motion. E.g. I did this for the Seiko 6R15 walk-throughout that I wrote.

I think that reduces the chances of mistakes, saves time, and helps understanding the use of the different oil types.

Anyone have a technical reference manual for a Farrari Lap Time Swiss ISA 9001/1300 movement?

Then for everyone else for the original question here's a walk-through.

Thank you John, you saved me saying it. If I was able to lift individual posts and start a new thread I would, but unfortunately I can't. Also posting different requests within a post, makes searching for information a nightmare.

    • Thought I had to share this - last time I cleaned out a deep fat fryer there was less mess than this. Another pin pallet movement. Unsurprisingly dunking it in Castrol GTX didn't fix the broken mainspring which is the only issue I've found.    Any tips for the dial? Also covered in oil. 
    • Hi Nev . No i didn't try this balance in the movement as it didn't run and the deformed staff broke when i removed the roller. Problem is what i think is the correct staff for this movement, the hub seat, roller and collet profiles are all too small for those parts of the assembly. The movement listed on Ranfft's site is correct my movement and the nos staffs i have match the ronda measurements. I can only assume that the wheel , roller and collet openings have all been broached to make them fit an oversized staff, both staff pivots had also been modified. 
    • Yes, threw it on the demagnetizer before I cleaned it to be sure.  This picture doesn't show it well, but I can definitely see liquid where the turns meet up.
    • My newest 404 candidate, a late '60's / early '70's Waltham with a UTC 33 / Seiko 6601 17 jewel automatic movement. It needed a new crystal and I put on a strap from my Strap Graveyard. The timegrapher was a snow storm before servicing but it cleaned up nicely. I really like the funky font used for the hour markers.
    • Hi Rich, the main problem with the balance is if the roller is from this movement. Did Yoy try if the balance interacted correctly with the lever? You can use suitable (by size) balance/hairspring couple from You pile of balances, but the roller must be for this lever (original for the calibre). Not that making roller is impossible, but it is easier to have one.
