1870s Adam Burgess English keywind. I think you would call it out of action. It’s a fusee style. I am not a watchmaker but what would be the reason it keeps happening?
You are so right Kevin .. I don't get it either. You can buy full complete movements for under 150 pretty much anywhere on the net seen some for 100 ... But try to find one gear you need and it is 40 bucks ... makes no sense. Best thing is probably just grab a complete movement. Kind of a...
Checked the parts sources all of them. Found one for 115 bucks. A trusted friend sold me a complete running movement for 125. Probably a good Idea to keep it for parts anyway. Yea he said he could fix the spring, jewel, balance staff and timing wheel which I bent . must have hit the edge of...
I always use a chain .. except when I wanted to peek at that wonderful movement and took it off .. lesson learned should have sat down on the table, should have just wound up my glass back 992b ... lots of should haves ... it is fine now and running perfect but I gotta replace that assembly...
I dropped it .. busted the balance assembly, and the ratchet wheel ... Got the ratchet wheel but killed the balance assembly .... Mahlon replaced it all and it is fine but I want to replace his balance assembly as it is the right thing to do. I was looking at the movement and dropped and hit...
Oh Boy did Skutt50 nail it I think. I had the same problem on a 936 ... changed the spring (it looked ok to me ) changed it anyway ... Now RR time no kidding
I have a friend in England who asked me if I had a couple spare "oval shaped" jewels for the Hamilton 940. I probably do but I don't know what he means and my watchmaking skills are non existent . Any idea what he means ..are they foot hole ? Which ones would be oval shaped ... want to help...

thank you for you kindness my friend ... your advice is much appreciated. I would like to try it the parts don't cost too much only cause I need the practice and my watchmaker friend wants to help me to learn

If I have to bill, that is an idea .... I found a place that makes replacement dials that looks ok ... it would be nice to have an original but oh well
been there on another site myself, not for a watch part but for something else. out of the money and no item. Now be very careful, I am talking from experience. the personal check has your banks routing number and your account number on it. You may find yourself out of money in your account...
I found one dozen 8142's that I have no use for they are Best fit bottle #37
PM me if you can use them. And moderators , no I am not selling or advertising they are free if someone can use them.
this is what mine looks like. It is a great watch but had no crystal and someone put it in a junk drawer, its an estate sale find. If you have one please PM me
Thank you Dan
I have moderator permission to post this request by the way, and I have looked at the parts supply stores to no...
