Bent hour wheel

[buzz12]

Hi guys, come across a bent hour wheel on my poor baby! The movement is an AS 1506/1507. What are my choices? Can it be straightened, or if not, are they fairly standard size wise. Could I change it from a  similar sized movement?

Maybe you can bend it back. If you could set it up on something to straighten it. But the best would be to find a replacement? As long as the sizes are the same you could use from an other movement?

Cousins has them in stock £5.96+vat & postage.

you will need to measure the height as there are 3 choices.

What would we do without Cousins eh

Yep, I tried straightening it, which worked to a point, but not perfect so looks like Cousins win again.

Just wanna throw my 2 cents in here as well.

More and more I'm seeing older parts like this becoming "discontinued" at CousinsUK.  If you ever find this is the case I personally recommend emailing Sudarson at OldSwissWatches. I have used his services on several occasions and found him to be fast to reply, very reasonably priced, has always sent the correct part, well packaged in perfect condition.
