I did snap it together by laying in on the bottom on a shallow flat bottom cup and then laying in each very very small bearing into the small opening and onto the first washer that has groves to hold the bearing. Then I took the second washed and placed it in the Center and pushed down with my thumb . The second picture is the result. I just don't know it it will stay together because I don't know if it is a friction fit Orr if there is an adhesive involved. Man the bearings were small. The size on the head of my sharpest tweeter

Jdr.....did you read my post above? I'll know tonight if I have one. I gotta look thru one more box

Ramrod my friend, the seller is sending me another that has not fallen apart. So, I most likely will not need one from you, although the I really appreciate your offer.

I would be shocked if there was anything you could not do with a watch:)

Oh believe me - there's plenty I can't do. :D

I am hoping that the counter weight, once in place, will help hold the friction fit top plate of the bearing part of the frame that I put together. I do have another coming in the mail. This weekend will be the reassemble and oiling of the 6139. If it works well I will feel real success in the up hill knowledge gain.

      You could try the "tapping method". Don't put any pressure on the bridge and just tap the side of the movement holder until the pivots find their place. It often works. If there is some kind of click mechanism putting pressure on one of the wheels (like the 8200 has if I remember right), use a bit of rodico to keep the click "open" and remove it later.

      Broken barrel arbor.

      Good news is that the arbour is very hard and the screws are much softer material, so drilling out is a viable option Unfortunately we can't do the alum trick.

      AS 2063 Setting lever puzzle

      By Gruden · Posted

      Hello,   Yes, I'm up against the same dilemma on the AS 2063. I replaced the setting lever spring (which includes gears for actuating the quick-set and winding the mainspring) but have not been able to achieve that "third position" for adjusting the time. The original (broken) setting lever spring does not reveal any modifications. The force required to pull on the crown is formidable; does not seem to be correct. I've added grease without any change in the performance.  Help!   John

      Thanks Ross, yes i remember the broken arbor screw you had to deal with. Dont give up, if i can drill a tiny hole in a bloody hard barrel arbor without breaking the drill bit then you'll get that screw out one day somehow .

      Identifying watch for possible radioactive concern

      By Geotex · Posted

      Isn't it most correct to say that the mixture of radium decay pathway compounds found in old lume will produce both alpha and beta particle radiation as well as gamma rays, so it's over-simplistic to dismiss it all as low-energy particle emission? True, a cheap geiger counter chirping away with a raw CPM count won't specifically give you the relevant biological dose, but it makes it easy to tell the difference between your local background, a watch with a bit of activity, and one that is comparatively quite active. Each person can make their own risk analysis based on their understanding and concern, but there's nothing wrong with using an inexpensive meter to help make the determination.
