calendar jumper spring


Recommended Posts

Hi All...

I am back I started  watch repair about a year ago but other projects keep me very busy. Have a little time on my hands so I started tinkering again.

Anyway I was practicing on an old Gruen 518 movement and I lost the  calendar jumper spring. I can't find any parts list or anything to soucre another one. I have enclose a picture .. Maybe some one can point me in the right direction .

 

Thanks

Tony

I think that it's a re-branded AS2063 so the part you want would be #2575 which also fits a whole load of other AS20xx movements.
Cousins has them;

Thank you. Very helpful . I did find info stating it could be an as2063 .. and tracked part number as you said 2575.. but couldn't fine any.

Thanks again
Tony

I think they might also be called shepherds hook. You can buy an assortment of these from CousinsUK if I'm not wrong...
Thank you.. Cousinsuk has what I need... now that I know part number for sure..I will try and locate locally

It’s a good idea to have a selection of these springs in stock. They tend to fly all over the place if you’re not careful.


Are they quite easy to adjust in geometry or trim in size ? I think i will invest in a random selection too

    • Look carefully at the tube end?? It appears to me to have a fragment thread visible? Either that or a step just away from the end? I can imagine a chamfer, but a step seems odd - but I've never seen the tubes used on these.
    • This is a very valid point and a subtlety that I was unaware of until fairly recently, learning all the time, the video below explains this point well:  
    • You don't have to use his special tester. Any good multimeter would work.
    • Yes, it looks like GT Revue 30. Doctor, You can not replace escape wheel by the dimensions You listed. One needs to know much more things like number of leaves of the pinion and it's diameter, the position in high of the table and the pinion, the hight between the pivots, the exact pivots diameter... And then, even if suitable wheel is found, one will need to know how to adjust the pallets position correctly. Restoring antique movements is something different than replacing parts. In older movements parts are not interchangeable, this means spare parts do not exist. Here the case is different, but still escapement adjustment will be needed if a wheel from a donor is found. So may be it will be easier to restore the donor for You...Restoring antique movements usually means making of the parts needed and this requires knowlage and working on lathes skill. In this case repivoting of the wheel is the natural solution, but there is a long way that one must walk untill getting ready for such work.
    • I was looking at Essence of Renata, a chemical used a lot for cleaning hairsprings: "Specially prepared solution for degreasing watch and instrument components. Indispensable for degreasing hairsprings." Looking at the MSDS you can see this is just pure n-Heptane, so could be an option for those who don't want to use the chlorocarbons or hexane?     HF6013 - Horological Essence COSHH Safety Data Sheet Horological Essence_0.pdf
