cybee 0 Posted May 9, 2010 It is just a bit tacky, but with a wooden skewer and a base a simple balance tack is made. It's a nice way to store the balance plus sometimes it helps to get out the kinks in the hairspring Hey, if it wasnt so simple I wouldnt be able to do it.

scope 3 Posted May 9, 2010 Great idea! I'm always looking to learn new tricks.Completed my first tear down and rebuild of a swiss eta today and at the last moment the intermediate wheel went flying across the room. Couldn't find it either dammit....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cybee 0 Posted May 9, 2010 Good diy idea Cybee...that balance wheel, what's it off? The balance is off the Hammie 917 I have. The pallet lever had a missing jewel so I'm fixing it. Incidentally, the 917 fit straightaway into a 42mm case I have. That makes things a little easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
