Thanks for the info Geotex. I did press it back in with my press and it went in without any issue so I may have dodged a bullet there. The crystal is not in great shape. It has a lot of micro cracks around the edge. I ordered a PHD 25 (28.5 mm) crystal. It seemed to be a good match in terms of shape and the diameter was spot on. I do have a bit of experience reshaping them if it’s not quite right. We’ll see how that plays out. The dial and the case were both sort of a mess but they cleaned up nicely so I’m hoping that I can get a new crystal to fit (see pic). Thanks again. -
A quick Joseph Rugole Google search gave me three issues of the magazine. I haven't checked yet if those are the ones about Watch Adjustment but I wouldn't be surprised. https://mb.nawcc.org/threads/joseph-joe-rugole-the-greatest-slovenian-canadian-master-watch-and-clockmaker-longtime-correspondent-and-technical-editor-awi.187009/ Anyway, here's a collection of all the issues from 1977 to 2009. I wouldn't agree with "old and senile" but goat sounds just about right to me ("Greatest Of All Time")! 😉

Got some of my own Hammertime going on to M.C , it just felt like the right thing to play lol -
From what I have been reading about the course on their site I think it is a waste of money and time. It will cover beginners as well as advanced it also takes in clocks so if you don't repair clocks that will be a waste.

If the pivots have defects of any kind it can affect amplitude quite a bit. I've seen phenomenal differences before and after burnishing pivots. It's like the jewel holes. Any defects and the movement won't perform its best. The only tricky bit with using a Jacot tool is how to hold the burnisher and not press your face into the tool but keep a distance. Fortunately @nickelsilver has shown us how it should be done and I have tried to illustrate it in a video.
