Supplier of Dial Spacers for ETA 28XX movements?


Recommended Posts

My stock is running low, and the retailer I purchased my last batch is no longer trading, so now looking for another supplier.  These are what I'm after..

Looked on Counsinsuk and they are asking €8 euros EACH!! :angry: Crazy!

Looking at buying a batch of around 50 to 100, which should keep me going for the next few years. No way am I paying €800 euros for a batch of 100, my last batch, although only 65, those cost me €50 shopped, or thereabouts.

Anyone know where I can buy such quantities?

Sorry Micky, I would have though those were not much needed since they usually come with the movement...but then I haven't worked on those for a while.

I'll keep an eye out for them and if I find anything I'll let you know...ofrei for instance if they have it may not be a good option since their international shipping would be quite expensive...but it is always worth looking I guess.

Cheers,

Bob

    • You could also use a very fine artist's brush to brush between the coils.  If you get a size 00 or even 000 that should be small enough for convenience, and with bristles so fine that they are incapable of damaging the hairspring.  Get a good one though, like Windsor-Newton or similar.  I have never had a Windsor-Newton brush shed on my art or other work.  You want a soft brush that will not shed.
    • Sounds interesting but how do you push the button if you’re holding both ends? the large current draw overheats after 3-5 seconds and the thermister triggers. A great tool for magnetizing things but I’ve not be able to ever demag anything with it because the emf is so strong it pulls the item off center (down or up).   I paid $89 bucks for it from  CAS-KER, if someone on the board wants it I’d gladly sell it for $25 plus shipping (probably US only otherwise postal costs are prohibitive). Just sent me a note offline.
    • Hi. First thing to do is measure your oil movement as the vx32E and the 43 look very similar but one is a couple of mill smaller the vx32E.  Also the canon pinion heights differ attached tech sheets for 7N22. And  VX43, check details on the sheets. 7N22A_29A_33A_42A_43A.pdf VX43.pdf Hattori VX32E - Specification.pdf Hattori VX32E - Disassemble.pdf

    • I was spitting out flowers and leaves for 10 minutes,  fortunately 3  people saw it and promptly whipped out their phones to film the quick " nothing to see here " recovery  🤣🤣
