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?

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.

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The twisted stem for ETA 2824 ( not ETA 2824-2 ) is obsolete and very hard to find.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.

      I still need to see the complete movement as there are many types of Elgin movements. The part that you are holding is called a snail.

      Omega cal.t17 help

      By Knebo · Posted

      Just a quick update on my T17. I just finished the service and, boy, was this nerve-wrecking.... I bent the hairspring a few times. Stupid accidents. Once it was beyond repair and I had to get a donor movement. The replacement hairspring turned out to be a few millimeters shorter and therefore the watch was running 6min too fast even when the regulator was set to the slowest position. So I needed to get timing washers (see another post here: https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic/25505-30t2-adjustment-of-timing-washers/?do=findComment&comment=248100).  After all, I'm now, getting a 310° amplitude (fully wound, dial up, lift angle 54°). About 250 in vertical positions. Quite a drop, but apparently not too abnormal for a 90-year-old watch with a slow beat rate (18000bph) and rather heavy balance wheel. After 24h I still get 280 (horizontal) and 220 (vertical). And now the highlight:  66h of power reserve! You may remember that I posted that I used a slightly weaker, but also slightly longer mainspring than prescribed. See my comments above.  I used GR 3937 (instead of GR 3632). So I recommend this mainspring and ticker oils (9020 on escape wheel and HP1300 on the rest of the train).

      30T2 adjustment of timing washers

      By Knebo · Posted

      OK! I was able to get a nice set of timing washers from ebay! And they worked really well. I needed to slow down the movement by about 6min and I put four (=two pairs) of 3-minute washers (rated for the the size of the movement) and it did pretty much exactly that. On one pair of screws, there were already washers. So I added a second washer on those screws. Maybe not ideal, but it doesn't cause any problems. Poise is ok.. not perfect.. but I had so many issues with the watch that I decided to accept it. It's a 90-year-old watch. Delta is around 40 seconds.

      I think it is friction fit, there are tools to remove them, cheaper versions are available. You could try adapting some pliers, see my crap drawing.  The pushers are available in various sizes, you could measure once the tube is removed.

      Is this pallet fork over-locking?

      By Malocchio · Posted

      The entry jewel's not as bad but seems still too much lock. I do epilame the escape wheel and pallet jewels, then run dry for about 15 minutes, then put 9415 in exit jewel very little at a time and check with backlight how the oil's distributed.  Another question is about capped escape wheels. Should I somehow wear the epilame off the pivots before installing the wheel? I normally let the escape wheel run dry for that said 15 minutes when there's no cap jewel.
