Yes, should. And I can see one, big and black! :)

I was wondering if there should be anything like this at the end of the handle? 

Sorry if i didn't have the right word for the whatever it's name is? 190.jpg

I've not seen one like that Roger, but I suspect that the six mandrels are fitted into the end of the winder where the knurled locking nut is.  

You will select whichever mandrel and winder unit that suits the spring and lock it into the winder by tightening the knurled nut.  This is now effectively the crank that you think is missing.  Attach the centre curl of the spring to the manderel, then place the winder unit over the spring, then wind the spring into the unit by turning the long knurled shaft.

Once the spring is wound completely into the unit, remove the unit from the end of the winder, and press the spring into the barrel from the unit.

this is my take on it, I may be wrong.

      Managed to clear the short, cleaned and oiled the movement. Now testing for 24 hours before I case it up. The movement is so small that it's loose in my smallest movement holder.

      Message board problem

      By Mark · Posted

      Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest. Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved. However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.

      As mentioned by the other members, it’s a dismantle job clean and inspect the solder joints. It’s an older generation using the paxolin pcb  not the glass fiber ones.
