I have been meaning to post this for a while. In my other hobby - Genealogy I found that my ancestors have a long history of Clock and Watch making. One of them, Samuel Harlow published a booklet in an early attempt at standardisation it is very old and probably well outdated but may be of interest to those that like a bit of historical reading.

The 1900 give you the option to manually select the beat. This can be very useful. The 1000 is very limited in this respect. Having said that, the 1000 is excellent for majority of watches you would work on, no good for co-axials but good for the most common beat ranges. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk1 point

Use a Magnet! If your fridge is anything like mine there will be tons of magnets stuck to it. And the beer is in the fridge so two birds - one stone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk1 point

I would firstly check the regulatoe index arm hasn't been nudged to either maximum, as this can lock the balance, check the impulse jewel engages the pallet fork. If this is wrong the balance wheel will lock on it's return swing. After that it's a case of working back checking pivots, end shake and side shake, check all jewels.... the list goes on....................1 point
