Hi Everyone,
As you can see from the pictures I have a very dirty Eureka movement I need to work on. This is my first, so I would like some help before I dig in.
In the view of the front there is the Eureka label. As far as I can see this label needs to be removed before the gears can come out. I don't see any screws or how to get it off. It also needs polishing. Are the letters and numbers recessed, so I don't remove them when I polish it?
The ball bearings inside the housing are really gummed up. Does the housing cover come off with a spanner type wrench? Is there a seal behind it? Also, is just a light film of oil the right amount, or should there be quite a bit in there?
One view shows some paper shims moving the reear support apart. Why would they be needed?
I guess this is enough questions for now. I know these movements are expensive, so I don't want to damage it any more.
Thanks, Frank
