Folkvisor Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hi all I've been away for a while but I just got back to my 2836 today and finished putting it all together and it doesn't want to work. Any suggestions? It works fine without reassembly of the date/time wheels and the automatic assembly. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhippy Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I would start by assembling the date/time parts bit by bit, that's if you can't see what the problem is. A process of elimination is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folkvisor Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Thank you, that's what I'll do. I only makes sense to go back to where it worked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine as with full amplitude and regular pattern? If not, it's pointless to blame auto winding or calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folkvisor Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Frankly, I think it was a misalignment of the wheel train bridge. Kind of elementary but slightly important! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folkvisor Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 it wasn't that. I'll disassemble the things and see if I can find anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folkvisor Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 I found a small piece of red thread under the barrel. There was also some white fluffy stuff in the movement. I have no idea how it got in there but it works fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folkvisor Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Well, thank you for the cudos; they are welcome even if they are undeserved. You're right about this being work that most people have little if any knowledge of; a whole new world awaits...LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
