Leslie 62 Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Moving the regulator to make the movement run faster or slower always took me too much time, because it is difficult to control/measure the amount that the regulator moves, and I had to repeat back and forth many times, each time needs more than 2 hours to observe the running speed (I have no machine for measuring the beats/oscillating). Then, some day, I found the following nice method that works very well for me. Please let me know what you think about it. (I am new here on the Forum) I used scotch tape, folded it (see the first picture) so that one end (the left side of the picture) has sticky part exposed, and I cut it into a long strip of about 0.3mm width. Now, attach the end with the sticky part onto the regulator bar/arm/head/ring, with the other end (color-marked) pointing to some location/index such that when I move the regulator (by toothpick/matchstick), I can easily see how much amount I had moved the regulator head.

Leslie 62 Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the reply. I'll try other ways to post the pictures. You are right that the point is to have the hand steady! Edited April 10, 2017 by Leslie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
