Which NOVODIAC spring in an ETA 2824.2?


Recommended Posts

Hi there,:biggrin:

I am about repairing an ETA 2824.2 movm. So far I have trouble with the NOVODIAC shock absorber spring :growl:.

Cousins offers three different springs, 1.65, 1.45, and 1.25 mm. What is the difference which I have to determine? (Unfortunately the old spring is on its way to the moon:angel:)

I don’t know if you have already introduced yourself to this forum. Its one of the things we do before posting.

 

Here is the technical manual. You order the complete part, which looks to be  24-6 Var

Done.

Well, I can not open the attachment. What should I do?  And which tech manual is mentioned?

Best wishes

Thank you for your answer:), oldhippy

Yes, changing the complete unit might be the highway to success. For sure, but for further repairs I should look for the tool. With respect to the shipping costs (cousins, UK --> Gemany) I keep on looking around for better conditions for the tool (Horotec).

Regards, Giaco

You're right! But in view of the shipping costs cousin's offer tears are in my eyes :thumbsd:

Are you sure to know Cousins shipping prices? Orders up to £25 or so pays £2.19 shipping to Europe. Big / heavy items pay a little more.

Hi jdm,

my basket: GBP 35.40

In the next step one of the below delivery methods must be marked with a cross. I.e. GBP 21.41 at minimum.

That is because it's over £25, so tracked shipping is made mandatory as explained above. If items prices allows you can save by splitting the order and select "untracked", which invariably gets there in a week or less.

STOP STOP STOP:bow:

My mistake!

First to do is to empty the basket so no item is listed.

After that a new order can be established. And thus the shipping is reduced to somewhat of 2 pounds.

So thank you very much for your tips an hints. :rolleyes:

I'm in the exact same situation. Did you find out what size to order? Also, it would be interesting to know what radius to measure according to your diagram (r1, r2, or r3). Thanks!

I am in the same boat. Tried to replace the springs without having the proper tool and flying away the first one went. After being mad at myself I returned to try the second one with more restraint and sadly that one went missing aswel. After reading this tread I feel like purchasing a new top/bottom 24-6 would be the best option, if I would have the tools to replace the current ones with new ones (even if I would have the tools I don't know which one to choose as there are multiple sizes). I don't have the tools to perform something like that and after searching the internet I cannot find which size Novodiac springs are required for a 2824-2. Cousins has 1.65, 1.45, and 1.25 mm for sale, although the 1.65 won't be in stock until June 9th. 

Perhaps anyone has any ideas?

Mayby I can bring some light into this quest.
The Original partnumber for this one is 289852 which is ETAs way to say it is equivalent to CS 78004.231
The Novodiac springs at cousine comes labeled as 231,232,240.
So 78004.231 might be = 231 = 1.65 mm. Someone might actually orderd a bunch and can confirm this elaborate theory...

Good idea! I've also noticed that untracked is faster than tracked, at least to my address in Sweden and so far I haven't lost a single order, and I hope it will stay that way.

    • Yes I have that in my watch list a JUF if cheap enough I will have a go , if nothing else it will be good for spares, I have a few JUF’s
    • Less give a damn- more **BLEEP** it! …nice that it is keeping time I’ve done a couple of these (one with your assistance) and there’s a third that needs work on the tension between what drives the hands and the barrel. Did you have any issue with that? …and I saw Ranfft make a small comment in a thread re: pin pallets- a couple drops of Tillwich blu, let it run down the pins. It is good for 20 degrees of amplitude… I’m using this oil as a cheat code on my unmotivated Venus chrono…
    • This is a very sad day for the industry.. For most of us being amateurs the cost of replacing parts for ETA,s etc will be beyond affordability for the customers.   see full statement below   We have now received the decision from Judge Michael Green on whether or not the High Court has jurisdiction to hear our claim against Swatch, and sadly it is not the decision we had hoped for.   As we have pointed out in previous news items (see below),the rules that Judge Green had to apply strictly prevented him from examining in any way how the Swiss Court arrived at its verdict, even if it is blatantly obvious that the verdict is wrong.   As Swatch’s lawyer was summing up in the last few minutes oft he hearing, the Judge twice pinned him asking if it was alright if, as a result of the Swiss verdict, consumers had to pay 50% more for their watch repairs. After some stumbling, their lawyer’s reply was “Yes”, so  I am quite sure that Judge Green left his court fully aware that the Swiss verdict does not reflect the norms of British Competition Law. However, the rules simply do not allow him to take that simple fact into account.   Judge Green noted that our two arguments relating firstly to British Competition Law now being different from that of the EU, and secondly to the contention that the legality of the Authorised Service Networks has not been tested, had both been mentioned in the Swiss verdict. Because they had been mentioned, he felt that to allow us to argue them again would constitute re examining the Swiss case, and could not be allowed.   As to our claim that we were denied our right to be heard because our evidence was not considered, our lawyers had argued that the evidence we provided could not have been looked at because had the Swiss Court done so, it could not have reached the conclusion that it did. In his verdict, Judge Green highlighted general statements in the Swiss verdict that evidence had been looked at, and acknowledged the arguments we made to him, but again he considered that this was re-examining the Swiss verdict, and could not be permitted.   Our case has attracted considerable interest within the Legal community, and within minutes of the decision being made public we were approached for comment by one of the largest subscription news services, Global Competition Review. They asked us two very pertinent questions, and I reproduce them for you below along with our responses, as they neatly summarise the consequences arising from our case.   What are the key takeaways?   Enormous damage has been done to the fundamentals of UK and European Competition Law by the Swiss courts. It has always been the case that the effect on consumers and competition has to be considered in any decision making, but we now have a ruling that states even monopolists can remove wholesale markets from the supply chain without any consumer benefit based justification. Those entities looking to subvert Competition Law and exploit consumers for their own benefit will be looking at this very carefully.   Has the court made the wrong decision? If so, will you appeal?   The issue lies not with the High Court, but rather with cross border jurisdiction treaties that have no requirement in them for foreign jurisdictions applying UK law to take account of the Ratio Legis [a legal term for the fundamental reasoning why the law was written] of that law, and have no remedy within them for UK Courts to overcome decisions that clearly do not.    After eight years of work, and a very considerable sum in legal costs, I can not begin to tell you how disappointed I am at this outcome. For the time being, there is no further route through the British Courts that Cousins can follow. However, I promised that we would fight to the end, and that promise stands.   The UK is no longer part of the Lugano Convention, whose rules Judge Green has applied, and as yet nothing permanent has replaced it. The political tide turned against repair prevention by restricting supply of spare parts some time ago, and our efforts on behalf of the Watch Repair industry have resulted in high level contacts within several Government Departments. You can be sure that we will keep working to overcome this unjust situation that we now all find ourselves in.    I will keep you advised.   Kind regards   Anthony
