I'm looking for user manual for an Andrä & Zwingenberger watchmaker Lathe as it showed ... it's especially a section about the   Face Plate that I'm looking for. If it exists!

I can not figure out how to work with the centerpin and springs. Perhaps it does not fit together?

If the centre pin does not go through the collet holder then it may be as simple as that is not the correct collet holder? Should go straight through the collect holder and then through the middle of the faceplate

There is a  brass piece missing on the centering arbor. I can post a photo on monday. The manual (4 pages only afaik) does not adress your issue.

Thanks Frank...

Yes i think the drawbar is to long. Maby i can make a new none some day.  The most important is that the centering arbor fit the Face-plate and im shure that this is the right one. It fits perfect... Im going to us it on my Cowells 90CW lathe, so anyway i might need som changes ...

Your issue is you don´t use the A+Zw headstock. Its spindle length surely is different.

Frank

The light of the Drawbar don't change no mater what the spindle length is... The drawbar shown here is the one that came with the faceplate...   

I can shurely make it fit the Cowells some how...

      Not SS but very slight wear on the underside edges have a little brass showing under magnification. New crystal arrived £3 with tax. Nice champaign dial color.

      1972 Bulova President "E" Sea King 11ACACB movement

      By ManSkirtBrew · Posted

      I also just realized I had that tech bulletin saved...but in French for some reason 🙂 No, I don't speak French. 2172_Bulova 11AOAC 11AOACD 11AOACB.pdf While parts are drying I'm on the hunt for a replacement crystal. I can measure the opening and get a generic one, but it'd be nice to find out what the original looked like first. Of course, case code 3093 does not appear in any of my reference materials. JulesBorel lists a C3093 case code, and shows Bulova part # 1222-5. Does anyone have information on this guy? I found a thread here talking about how the -5 is the height of the crystal, but that's as far as I've gotten. I also found one site that claims to have it in stock, but before I risk my $20 I'd like to confirm it's the right part.

      Oversized stem

      By steve1811uk · Posted

      Thanks for the replies. I did the job today and found that the oversized stem fitted just perfectly into the worn mainplate without any adjustment. Original stem diameter was 1.24mm and the oversized was 1.40mm. I did have to make an adjustment to the setting lever though. The small pip that engages with the groove in the stem hub was slightly to wide. I made that a bit smaller with a fine file. Don't ask me why that was too big, it just was. All working very well now. No wobble and not pulling out. New crown fitted as good measure.
