Hello all, I'm not sure if looking for parts on these forums is permissible, and if not, then I apologize in advance. I'm nearing a restoration of an Elgin 8s movement. Only problem is, I'm missing the case for it. As mentioned it is 8s and a hunter style. I'm searching ebay, etsy etc... but to no avail so far. Does anybody have such case they would sell? I didn't know that this size would be so hard to find. Thank you for any input/help anyone can provide and again, I apologize if I break any rules. Regards,

Thank you for the links. I'll check them out. Like everyone new to this realm I am bumbling through trying to work out the best tool options to look out for and save for. What type of staking tool (thinking something with micrometer attachment for ?end-shake tweaking) and timing apparatus.... I'll keep reading and learning. Thank you all very much!

Look for industrial flooring. There are all sorts of settings (industrial, research, medical) where those sorts of requirements must be met. You might even get lucky and score a killer deal on the leftovers from a large facility. -

Yeah. When I was equipping my current shop I went to the flooring store and asked for help. I explained what I was doing, and how I want a bright, smooth, even color that will make the tiniest thing on it easily visible. He said OH so you want exactly the OPPOSITE of what everyone ELSE in the world wants! Now the fad is fake tile squares, fake wood strips, etc, instead of a roll of something you put down across the whole room. You really want the solid piece with no seams. We found something good enough, but the color is not perfectly uniform. I installed it under the baseboards and then caulked the edge where they meet. I intend to use aluminum tape (the stuff they use on ductwork) around all my furniture too, but haven't yet. I have worked over carpet before. It's amazing how easily and permanently things disappear. One time I lost my whole chair and had to dig around in the carpet for an hour to find it. I tried a magnet but I just kept finding watches instead.
