South Bend Studebaker Hairspring

I need a hairspring for a 16S South Bend Studbaker Model 2
# 47320

 

[Dave Coatsworth]

I am in need of one of these stems that uses a collar for a customer's watch. The thread diameter is 3.17mm. Square would be for an 18-size watch. (As you can see, the square on this one is badly worn.)

Well, it came off an Elgin, but these are generic stems, not specific to any particular watch manufacturer.

Hi,

I am looking for a balance hairspring for a grade 58 Elgin. The hairspring part no. is 793. I'm not sure of equivalents for this grade, but if someone has an extra that they can part with, or can direct me to where I can obtain one, it would be much appreciated. The Elgin serial no. is 141433.

Thanks,
Rick

I could use a 14 size gold filled hunting case. It wouldn't matter if it's missing the stem + crown.

WTB Seiko Monaco Automatic Chronograph Dial

In needed of a dial for a Seiko Monaco (17 jewel) Chronograph Automatic Model# 7016-5011, most of the 5,000 series will fit. These dials a square shape. Just about resigned to take any colour, also will take a complete parts watch if you do not want to separate the dial.
Best Regards

Re: need jewels

I need the hole and cap jewel for a waltham cock arm
waltham (model 1883)
cockarm number (318567)

 

[richiec]

Re: need jewels

Juggernaut, you would need to provide the entire serial number and possibly the pivot size on the balance arm to help you as the pivots go from 8-14 and there may have been changes to the parts over time. Pictures of the movement also help immensely.

 

[WATCHBREAKER]

need a U.S watch co. (marion) parts movement. must be a 15j early model. dont need any balance parts. just train jewels mainly.

I need am Elgin ladies 617 movement with a good balance or a complete balance for that movement.
This is for a family member and quite important. I would be more than glad to pay you for the part.
There is a lot of older small ladies watches and movements out there and hoping someone can help. Thanks

Re: Need 60hr. motor barrel screws (3) for Bunn Special

I need a hacking mechanism (j shaped part) for a Hamilton 987S. I would be grateful If someone would part with one.

 

[tkarter]

I need a hampden 18 size small collet balance staff. Seems the jobbing house only has the large collet staffs.

 

[Jim Haney]

The Hampden book show a SC in single roller#1721 or double roller #1722.

I need a hampden 18 size small collet balance staff. Seems the jobbing house only has the large collet staffs.

Here is where you can pick them up, that horrible place that everyone talks about _Bay, just search for Hampden 1721 Staff. Would have put a link but BIN still in progress.

In need of a couple of setting levers for a 18s Elgin Model 7 Open face, Elgin Part#1830. Will take the complete setting assembly if you do not want to part with just the levers, or the complete parts movements, thank you.

 

[Jim Haney]

Bila,
I have plenty of the set levers if you can clear up some confusion. In Swigart's the illustration looks funny compared with an actual lever.

Thanks for the reply Jim, the one you have shown from the Swigart book marked 1830 is the correct one and picture is correct. Like you I have a lot of the others you have shown, these are for two different Hunting models, the ones with the hole lower down on the leg are Elgin part#114 and the ones without are Elgin part#48. The Part#1830 is pretty much used only on the Model 7, Class 65 & 66 from memory.

Cheers,
Bila

 

[Jim Haney]

Sorry, I don't see one like that?

 

[NC Plumber]

I sure could use a rotating seconds dial for a Waltham secometer.

Wrong spot

 

[Bila]

Looking to buy some Elgin #823 mainsprings if someone wants to part with some, blue steel or alloy are fine, let me know how many and what cost please?

 

[Jim Haney]

Not all that fimiliar with Elgin's, but in my Elgin material cabinets all the MS numbers are in the 200's.

 

[Dave Coatsworth]

Jim,
The #823 is for the early 10-size movements. Not an easy spring to find.

 

[Jim Haney]

Jim,
The #823 is for the early 10-size movements. Not an easy spring to find.

Dave,
In the Elgin Material cabinets that I have the bottom 2 drawers have MS's and the part numbers start at 278 and go thru 300.
I have a box of 10s springs, part # 300E and on the box it says .0067 thick & .065 wide.

 

[Dave Coatsworth]

Jim,
Those are 'compartment numbers'. There should be a card that translates compartment numbers to 'part numbers'. One compartment may have more than one part number in it. The springs in 300E I believe are the more modern 10S. I'm not at home right now so not sure if there is another spring that would substitute for the #823. I'll look later.

 

[Dave Coatsworth]

Bila,
Swigart does not even list this spring, nor can I find any specs on it in my Elgin materials. Can you give the measurements and end type? Maybe something else substitutes? Or, maybe you've already gone down this route?

 

[Bila]

Hi Dave & Jim,

Thank you very much for your responses, apparently pretty hard spring to substitute, I found a slightly later number (I think) Elgin part#2326. I am pretty sure that no other makers will be much use due to the hole and bayonet end type for hooking to the side and top of the barrel, not unless the barrel is modified to accept a tee-end spring. This I am reluctant to do but judging by the rarity of the correct spring all of us that have these models just might have to do the irreversible modification. The only other option will be to sit down and make new ends and rivet them on

 

[parris001]

I'm in need of a mainspring housing for a Waltham Vanguard. Any help, I'd greatly appreciate it......

 

[Dave Coatsworth]
