okabum 0 Posted January 1, 2010 I´ve managed to reshape my 6152/1 lugs. DSN are very accurate, but sligthy long, gen lug is a bit fat, but not more than 0.3mm IMO, for this reason, after a bit of sanding and polishing here is results. Now some pics, most noticeable is crownguard, but this can be easily solved in a few weeks, when I finally order my new crownguard to a cnc supplier here in Spain. GEN vs HOM BEFORE vs AFTER as said before, it´s only noticeable in tip of lug, has been sanded almos 1,5mm of course, a new rachet wheel without engravings what do you think?

sconehead 5 Posted January 1, 2010 I think it's excellent mate...I have two Molnijas, one is definitely getting modded to go in something like this... Couple of questions, where did you get/how much was the case including cg, crystal etc and where did you get the plain rachet wheel, mine are both marked 'Molnija' plus I have a spare Cortebert wheel...

His movement is a Cortebert 616. For the Molnijas, you generally have to source unmarked ratchet wheels from late-1950s/early-1960s Molnijas. If his is a DSN case, DSN sells it complete with plexi and case-back for $180. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted January 1, 2010 Thanks PSOC, I guessed it was a Cortebert by the balance assy markings but I believe the Cortebert wheels are a straight swap on the Molnijas (I'll confirm that by swapping one out.. ) I presume it's a DSN dial are the hands Okabums own or DSN as well?

okabum 0 Posted January 1, 2010 Hi. movement is a cortebert 616, and ratchet wheel is also cortebert, not easy task find one unmarked. hands are from my batch of cortebert hands. Case is from DSN, as previous told by patronsaintofchains Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted January 1, 2010 Thanks for the info, I am currently waiting for a set of DSN hands for a Molnija (off nightwatch) for £23.50 shipped, I was toying with trying his solder technique on a Molnija ratchet wheel...wish me luck... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I´ve tried and solder always jumps off. Only way i managed is sanding, but it´s really hard this metal, I have done in one, using lathe, but finish is not really good.

ebzen02 341 Posted April 26, 2010 ATTN: Noob Question:) Can someone build one of these for under $500? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted April 26, 2010 I think DSN can do a Molly powered version 6152/1 as he does other vintage Pams with this movement. Not sure of the price though, you can view his stuff here, http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/ff85/james123chen/ and here's his contact addy, [email protected] ...here are some pics, edit: the movement shown isn't as well executed as that of some of the modders around though...
