@VWatchie I would like to hear your opinion on this, thanks! -

typically any time people talk about a pocket watch lift angle list I find it's the one that I gave out. Amusingly I've even seen it quoted on another discussion group that they found this list. then if you look carefully at the list you'll notice that it's not just the Elgin six size but also a Illinois six size is 62°. what becomes interesting if you look at the list is there's a lot of variations in lift angles for particular watch sizes. So basically this means if your timing machine does not seem to be giving you whatever you perceive you're supposed to be getting you should verify that the lift angle is indeed correct for your watch as there seems be lots of variations with pocket watches even amongst the same size. Then unfortunately on every single pocket watch you do especially with movable banking pins is you do have to verify that they are where there supposed to be. It seems to be that anything that's movable on a watch will get moved just because it can be moved. It's amazing moving banking pins playing with the pallet jewels how poorly a watch can run.. -
