Hi Old Hippy....I found a chain. After a bit of searching and research into how to measure and determine what size chain was required I bought one from HS Walsh. I also 'sharpened' the spikes and ran the new chain through. I then attached the weight and boom. Tick tock. After a bit of adjustment getting it into beat and regulating, the clock has been keeping good time for about two weeks. The weight hasn't 'dropped' either. The bad news is that I can't get the strike to work. It looks like the wooden 'cam' that locks the train has broken in two....and one half is lost. I was thinking of making a new one but I'm unsure if it's symmetrical, as I have half of what is left to make a pattern...thoughts?? Cheers Al

Those photos were linked from OneDrive, they were not internally stored on WRT. They were deleted there at the source, or permissions changed to prohibit public view, or prevent hot linking.

While I did order a 955.112, I also ordered a coil for the 715. The coil came in first and I replaced it today. Tada! Functioning again. I still plan on doing the swap, but will likely wait to see what watches come in my grandfather's collection, and what needs work. This was my first fix outside battery or strap changes. Pic of new coil to compare to the old coil above. Old battery just to test, silver oxide 371 is in it now.

The different numbers are a clue to the lathe being a collection of parts although saying that some manufacturers said that any parts they made would all fit each other part within tolerance

Due to the age of this post it would appear the server where they're stored has started dumping photos to make space.
