Lengthening Guard Pins

[jdrichard]

Quick question. I have an old Waltham pocket watch that runs great for a while and then gets into a state of Overbanked. I assume that the guard pin is not doing its job. Anyone know how to use this specific Bergeron 2550 tool.

Unfortunately it's not a universal tool it probably won't work for the Waltham. I have a page out of the catalog that shows how to use it if you have the right pallet fork.

Wow, thank you very much!

Oh! Cool,...in German they're called "safety pins".  Good to know.
