Jeremy,

Yes I can help you get the calendar together but it's already past midnight here in Brooklyn. I'll give you my directions tomorrow. I don't have pictures of the BFG 856, but have plenty of the 866 which is similar. More to come....

Thank you soo much noirrac1j. I finished it. Had some trouble with the spring shooting across the room. Found it about half an hour later with a giant magnet. Used peg wood to make sure it didn't fly off the next go around. You rock!  could not have done it with out the detailed photos. Here it is complete.

You did it already? That's fantastic! I will suggest for next time never, ever remove or install a spring without first placing cling/saran wrap onto it to hold in place--no matter how nice it looks! It looks great and kudos to you for perseverance!

Very well explained noirrac1j .. often it is better to use a video camera and film everything. It is always easier to do the reassembly afterwards. I already learned it at my own expense ;)

 

Yes I agree. I might invest in a camera with digital microscope soon.

    • Not sure, but just looking at it, it seems like the screw on the right may be a fake? The one on the left may not be a screw in the regular sense at all, rather a 2 position device, I think you need to point the slot towards either of the 2 dots and one will secure and one will open. Like I said this is just my best guess looking at the pictures.
    • Hi! I am in the process of restoring a rado captain cook mkII. I want to remove the rotor, but I am not sure how to and need some help. As you can hopefully see on the photo there are 2 screws. The left one has two positions, the right one looks like a regular screw. I have tried turning the right one, but it does not give even after using more force than I would expect. Anyone know the function of the left screw with the two positions and how to remove the rotor? Thanks!!
    • Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy
    • I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!
