Bruce, you beauty! I tried it on a 2nd movement I had done; amplitude went up from 204deg to 230deg. Thank you very much for the headsup, I genuinely appreciate it! When I get a gap I'll try it on the original movement and see if there's a similar improvement to be had.
Huh, that’s very interesting. You quite right that in all 3 cases the beat error was pretty bad right after I started them up for the first time. I was actually surprised, but figured it was because of the sorry state they were in. I’ll go clean the pallet forks and check again. Thanks for the tip!
Nice one sir. I'm especially impressed with how that dial cleaned up! Interesting that the keyless works looks exactly the same as the 6309.
It's coming along quite nicely actually. I was just getting distracted from finishing because of a low amplitude of around 210 deg. I went and rebuilt 2 more 6309 movements with similar low amplitude so I'm reasonably sure I didn't screw up too bad. I should have this one finished in the next week or so. Not gonna lie, your work on those 7548's inspired me to tackle some mechanicals from the same vintage. I have an updated thread running on WristSushi if you want to check it out.
Yeah, the 13th of Aug. It'll be a shame for them to come all this way only to lose against the Sprinboks 😜😂
