I have said this many times on the forum. Ronsonol lighter fluid is shellac friendly. You could leave any watch part that has shellac on it in ronsonol for days. Just remember it evaporates very quick, so you need a pot with a screw lid.

It is always good practice in whatever cleaning fluid and rinse you chose to read the instructions and see if it is suitable for your needs. In my time, I used L& R cleaner and rinse and found them to be excellent. They were shellac friendly then. Today they might have changed the formula, so be careful.

I would design the pallets/fork with slots for the pallets to slide in the fork and stay put. Or ,if the pallets adgustments are left for the assembly line, I would design fixture to hold the pallets in the right position to get shellac- ed. I certainly wouldn,t  count on shellac friendship.And about the heat, I warn you not to stand under the sun light or risk getting de-shellaced.

OH is right again, you just can,t be sure of the qualities,  be it oil, grease etc.

One might as well  get some grease off of this guy :bbq:.

The moments you spend laughing are happyy.

Regards joe

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Jon · Posted

      I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.

      So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
