ETA 2824-2 Stem Question

Hi all.

I'm servicing a EAT 2824-2 movement I bought of an auction website. There was no stem and I took a gamble.

While waiting for it to arrive I ordered a new generic stem, and assumed it should fit.

Taking the keyless works apart, I could see the remains of the original stem still in situ.

Comparing the original to the replacement, they are different across the flats. The original is 0.51mm. The replacement is 0.74mm and will not fit the sliding and winding pinion.

 

Does anyone know where I can source an original with 0.51mm across the flats?

Is everything else correct in size?

If so you could try filing down the square using a diamond file.

Fiddly but not impossible if all other measurements are correct.

Sure it's a 2824-2 . Think 2836 has helicoidal stem? Otherwise i think 2763 has a helicoidal stem. But don't know if it has 0,51. Think i could have one so i could measure.

Thanks,

Just looked at the movement, it's ETA 2824. Looks like it's Elabore spec and is off a Technos watch.

I think the measurement across the flats is supposed to be 0.50mm.

The stem for the 2824 is helicoil square. But i think you bought a 2824-2 stem? 

So you need a 2824 stem . My mistake there also.  It's not a 2824-2  it's only  2824 .

My mistake. It is indeed a 2824. So I'm after a 2824 helicoil stem.

Think cousinsuk have that. If not windingstems.com have.

Lol!

I remember replacing one of these some time ago with a square one that I had to file down in the lathe. I thought some gorilla had twisted it, and remember being puzzled that no teeth in the setting path were destroyed. Good thing this is one of my own watches! I still have the old stem, so it goes back on the todo list ;) 

I'd never heard of a helical stem until you mentioned it!  What could be the purpose of it? Perhaps to increase pressure on the setting wheel, when setting the hand? Doesn't seem worth the more difficult production process. I'm assuming the sliding pinion is also helical?

(Sorry, kinda off-topic)

The twisted stem for ETA 2824 ( not ETA 2824-2 ) is obsolete and very hard to find.  We sold out many years ago.  A simple and cheap solution is to change the stem, winding pinion and clutch wheel, all to the 2824-2 parts.

Thanks for the tip.

I managed to source one:-

51.010.51 specified for the following

ETA 2802 2804 2806 2824 2826 2828 2830 2834

It'll be interesting to see if it fits.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      interesting video nice to see the machine what it can do now I wonder what it costs and I'm sure it's not in my budget. Plus the video brought up questions but the website below answers the questions? What was bothering me was the size of his machine 4 mm because I thought it was bigger than that? But then it occurred to me that maybe they had variations it looks like four, seven and 10. With the seven and 10 being the best because way more tool positions in way more rotating tools. Although I bet you all the rotating tools are probably separate cost https://www.tornos.com/en/content/swissnano   Then as we been talking about Sherline. Just so that everyone's aware of this they have another division their industrial division where you can buy bits and pieces. I have a link below that shows that just in case you don't want to have the entire machine you just need bits and pieces. https://www.sherline.com/product-category/industrial-products-division/   Let's see what we can do with the concept I explained up above and bits and pieces. For one thing you can make a really tiny gear very tiny like perhaps you're going to make a watch. Then another version the center part is not separate it is all machined from one piece. Then fills gear cutting machines have gone through multiple of evolutions. A lot of it based on what he wanted to make like he was going to make a watch unfortunately eyesight issues have prevented that. Another reason why you should start projects like this much sooner when your eyesight is really good or perhaps start on watches first and then move the clocks then local we have from the industrial division? Looks like two separate motors and heads. Then it's hard to see but this entire thing is built on top of a much larger milling machine as a larger milling machine gave a very solid platform to build everything.   Then like everything else that had multiple generations are versions the indexing went through of course variations like above is one version and the one below was the last version. Now the version below I mentioned that previously and somewhere in the beginning to discussion and somebody else had one in their picture. As it is a really nice precision indexing. Then I wasn't sure if I had a the watch photos here is his unfinished watch. No he wasn't going to make a simple watch like none of his clocks were simply either what would be the challenge and that.

      Use a Portwest Howie lab coat. They are the biological type so they have tapped cuffs so you don't end up getting the loose cuffs of normal lab coats catching everything.

      Chinese tools debate

      By Titanium · Posted

      Some of the Chinese tools ae great and can be purchased at a fraction of the price of Swiss ones, some are complete garbage and some I'm convinced are coming out the same factory as the branded ones.

      I found this string about this problem. I've not gone through it all, but I believe it also mentions making a spring. If not in this string, the info is online.
