i have a 30-tooth standard time escape wheel with worn/shortened teeth. when testing by hand with the movement removed from the case, the escape wheel teeth (just) hits the entry lock face... under (synchron motor) power, though, 4 or 5 of the teeth just barely hit the impulse face... causing a bit of recoil and pendulum shudder. the exit locks and drops are just fine.
someone already put a slipper on the entry side, but i think it's not quite thick enough. i'm pretty sure there's room to put a thicker slipper that would insure the the EW teeth hit the entry lock face... and am willing to brave this procedure for the first time (and have feeler gauges and tix solder).
OTOH, i could also close the verge slightly.... another procedure i've have never tried before but am also willing to try.
if this requires video i can provide... just wondering if the symptoms clearly indicate one option over the other?
