I subscribe with this Guy on youtube who does some really interesting repair vids. There has been of late a few posts on watchmakers lathes and I find this vid covering how to perform basic cuts on a lathe and his theory. Lathe work requires a whole new level of skills but well worth attaining .

This is a good find for those wishing to learn lathe work. Takes me back to the early 70's.

  Thanks for the help guys! VWatchie I already found your thread but I'll check it again. Nice to know about acetone, I still have to get the shellac off since I made a little mess. I adjusted the jewel, put new shellac (the so called soldering technique, pallet tool too hot this time so the shellac "wire" melted in air before getting in contact with jewels or fork) rinsed the pallet fork and put it back dry. Amplitude is now in the 240-250 range that I expected in the first place. I guess there's enough oil in the escape wheel teeth already but I'll check that later. The mainspring was pretty beaten so a new one would probably boost the amplitude even further. Nice to learn new things. Now I have another thing to look for while disassembling. I wonder if the watch left the factory that way.
