Re: 400 Day Schatz clock face screw holder assembly

You don't mention the dimensions. I have some that look like that with ID =.287", OD= .496, thickness =.210" single screw and no hole opposite the screw.

All you would need is some round stock a tap and a drill and drill press. You could even part them off on a drill press . I don't do this practice but it could be done. But dimensions are important.

Re: 400 Day Schatz clock face screw holder assembly

Ok - sorry for the delay - the brass collars would be easy to make but the problem is the teeny tiny set screw. I have access to some brass sleeve that would work but the screw is the problem. I currently have the original sleeve but the tip of the original screw is broken off.I've tried to measure the brass collar and I get .196 OD and .110 ID - I'm not sure I'm measuring correctly since I do not have an inside micrometer but it works out to about 7/32"" OD and 1/8" ID with a thickness of 1/32". Sorry I do not have a great micrometer and plan to purchase a better one in the future. The hole opposite the screw is not needed - I believe it was just easier for Schatz to make it that way. I have no idea where I could find a screw this tiny. Thanks so much for all your help.

John just to confirm that the thickness or height of this assembly is 1/32" ? For sure that is extremely small.

You may want to try Ace hardware for those tiny screws. But I do believe that 1/32 is extremely small. These are the small rings that hold the face to the movement.

Cool! You wouldn't have a side panel for a Schatz Bermuda Carriage would you?

You mean the plastic part that goes in the frame of the case.

Re: 400 Day Schatz clock face screw holder assembly

Interesting that even those screws as small as they are are still too big. OP said the thickness of the ring was 1/32" (0.031"), the smallest screw is 0.9mm. I am not familiar with the part he wants. Does the thickness seem right?

Re: 400 Day Schatz clock face screw holder assembly

David i have been in contact with John and i am selling the part he needs.Yes it,s a small part.
I also helped Jay as well.
