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:)

Your tips and hints are highly appreciated.

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
Giaco

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.

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.

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      By Endeavor · Posted

      The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Mercurial · Posted

      Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark

      Stem broken - can it be rescued?

      By Khan · Posted

      Hi I got a Jaeger LeCoultre K911 movement, where one of the stems was broken. Part no. Should be 401.  Im based in Europe and tried Cousins but its discontinued. They except to get stem in stock for cal. K916 but will that work? Or Is there a way out to join the ends?

      The part was how it fell out of the movement - the train wheel bridge wasn’t screwed in.    I’ll probably dismantle the part, if I can, to work it out.    The train of wheels ran fine - it was only once the keyless works were installed I noticed the problem.

      Balance staff sourcing?

      By mthomas828 · Posted

      Hello, I am about 5 months into watchmaking and I love it!   The attention to precise detail is what really attracts me to it. (and the tools!) I am working on a 16 jewel 43mm pocket watch movement.   There are no markings besides a serial number (122248) .  The balance staff needs replacement. The roller side pivot broke off.  I successfully removed the hairspring using Bergeon 5430's.  I successfully removed the roller using Bergeon 2810.   Did i mention I love the tools?! I removed the staff from the balance wheel using a vintage K&D staff removal tool  with my Bergeon 15285 (that's the one that comes with a micrometer adjustment so it can be used as a jewel press as well as a traditional staking tool...it's sooooo cool...sorry..  can you tell i love the tools?) No more digressing..  I measured the damaged staff in all the relevant areas but I have to estimate on some because one of the pivots is missing. A = Full length  A= 4.80mm  (that's without the one pivot...if you assume that the missing pivot is the same length as the other pivot (I'm sure it's not)  then A = 5.12 mm...(can I assume 5.00mm here?) F=  Hair spring collet seat  F=  .89mm   (safe to assume .90 here? .. I am sure that my measurement's would at least contain  .01 mm error ?) G = balance wheel seat  G = 1.23 mm  (1.20mm?) H  =  roller staff  H =  .59mm  (.60 mm?) B  = bottom of the wheel to roller pivot   B  = 2.97mm  (3.00 mm?)     here I am estimating  again because this pivot is missing. So my friends, and I thank you profusely,  can you point me in the right direction as to how to proceed? Do i buy individual staffs?  or an assortment?   Since I don't know exactly the name of the manufacturer, will that be a fatal hindrance?   Tbh, I'm not even sure what country of origin this movement is. Thank you!
