Do you intend to repair the chain or try for a replacement. Repairing the chain is not an easy task, if your not careful you will do more damage then you already have. You might need to take the fusse apart to check the teeth on the ratchet, also you will be able to grease the ratchet.

Repair for sure ;) Already collected the tools and materials.

Just wanted to ask if the ratchet/fusee cone should be disassembled. As i remember it is also secured together with a pin.

Please look at this picture! Browsing around the net i have noticed that there is a click wheel missing, but the click is present (green circle).

But maybe is there an other click in this movement? Please look at the part in the red circle, which engaging that steel gear mounted in the fusee cone (red arrow). Is this normal? Or what is behind this?

My sight isn't very good these days. The part in the red circle looks like its for the maintaining power, when its between the plates it rests on the fusee wheel.  Here's a picture of what the ratchet wheel looks like. If you could get a closer photo I might be able to see better and help more.

Yes, this is the type of ratchet gear i am missing. So both are needed for proper working?

      Chinese clone demagnetizers

      I'm guessing, but this commercial demag machine maybe produces random magnetic fields to re-randomise  the iron particles. So heres one for you, synthetic rubies are coloured predominantly with chromium oxide . But natural rubies and old synthetic watch rubies were also coloured with iron oxide in higher percentages than chromium oxide. Which gave them a degree of.................🤔

      I've never had a hairspring distort on me by passing the movement or just the balance in a plastic pot over this demagnetiser. Have you seen how fast a cleaning machine spins to spin-off fluid and that does no harm to a hairspring. I was a little concerned when I first used it, thinking it might be too strong, but I was wrong. It is strong, but it does no damage. I pass the part over the demagnetiser and keep going for about an arms length, so about a metre, to properly demag the part.

      I don't think you would be able to find spare parts. Your best bet would be to get a new movement from eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256508500506?itmmeta=01HY3M863PSA61GK7B859QCWTE&hash=item3bb9191a1a:g:ubgAAOSwrJJgPP-s&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4DxWhpiQiz2ZjKpm3PS%2FHPh4IafsSzMWEobc2q4qQWgPGMZ8kCR8y2PRsm7GE31FjeSDYSWcEyGlrpZEdQyyzOSgsgsaPjbP7dYmK8r49Nh%2BEtSqDDIZ8Tbp3vvX035fFXgcjc1GEH8l%2FOWJ9aTeWNGzeBgUwqyhJ3ZSXji50TQr6rd38Sqwaqsj2oc51UVKqqIKySKTfxVB7X09EXcJsmeYc5GCdVODNkb02q2RsxfSIzpgl9dFCmW1Ih%2BPg2j2NziSELg5AfaHl%2FPU2Zn9fNnoVN1Z1NUAREyh2BCubcWC|tkp%3ABk9SR_bhoPTwYw

      Here's a thought. Try unscrewing the bezel and the crystal. If you have one of those sticky balls for undoing casebacks, I would give that a try.

      Citizen Eco-Drive E870 movement issues

      By ManSkirtBrew · Posted

      Last week I noticed my Eco-drive's second hand was stopped at 12 o'clock. I left it in the sun for a few days and no change, so I figured it was time to replace the rechargeable battery. I've had this guy for at least 15 years. Replaced the battery and the seconds hand moved to about 5 o'clock and stopped there. I let it sit for a day in the sun, no change. I took the battery out and tested it, and it's at 1.4v. The old one was at 1.0v. I'd like to test if it's charging. I've been looking around for diagnostic info, but only been able to find the owner's manual. Anyone have a reference for it?
