ETA 2824-2 Stem Question

Hi all.

I'm servicing a EAT 2824-2 movement I bought of an auction website. There was no stem and I took a gamble.

While waiting for it to arrive I ordered a new generic stem, and assumed it should fit.

Taking the keyless works apart, I could see the remains of the original stem still in situ.

Comparing the original to the replacement, they are different across the flats. The original is 0.51mm. The replacement is 0.74mm and will not fit the sliding and winding pinion.

 

Does anyone know where I can source an original with 0.51mm across the flats?

Is everything else correct in size?

If so you could try filing down the square using a diamond file.

Fiddly but not impossible if all other measurements are correct.

Sure it's a 2824-2 . Think 2836 has helicoidal stem? Otherwise i think 2763 has a helicoidal stem. But don't know if it has 0,51. Think i could have one so i could measure.

Thanks,

Just looked at the movement, it's ETA 2824. Looks like it's Elabore spec and is off a Technos watch.

I think the measurement across the flats is supposed to be 0.50mm.

The stem for the 2824 is helicoil square. But i think you bought a 2824-2 stem? 

So you need a 2824 stem . My mistake there also.  It's not a 2824-2  it's only  2824 .

My mistake. It is indeed a 2824. So I'm after a 2824 helicoil stem.

Think cousinsuk have that. If not windingstems.com have.

Lol!

I remember replacing one of these some time ago with a square one that I had to file down in the lathe. I thought some gorilla had twisted it, and remember being puzzled that no teeth in the setting path were destroyed. Good thing this is one of my own watches! I still have the old stem, so it goes back on the todo list ;) 

I'd never heard of a helical stem until you mentioned it!  What could be the purpose of it? Perhaps to increase pressure on the setting wheel, when setting the hand? Doesn't seem worth the more difficult production process. I'm assuming the sliding pinion is also helical?

(Sorry, kinda off-topic)

The twisted stem for ETA 2824 ( not ETA 2824-2 ) is obsolete and very hard to find.  We sold out many years ago.  A simple and cheap solution is to change the stem, winding pinion and clutch wheel, all to the 2824-2 parts.

Thanks for the tip.

I managed to source one:-

51.010.51 specified for the following

ETA 2802 2804 2806 2824 2826 2828 2830 2834

It'll be interesting to see if it fits.

      Here is a method described in the watch repair book of Mark W. Wiles. Don‘t hammer, just tap very gently!

      Alex mentions the coils below the stud should remain the same as you move the regulator block along the terminal curve.  Mine do that. What he doesn’t discuss and is used in the other video is how the regulator block is used to adjust rate and positional error.  He also doesn’t mention how opening and closing the pins could and in my case does, alter amplitude  In Alex’s video once he sets the stud he never adjusts the regulator pins yet every new movement I get have the pins signing closed.

      The video I linked above does mention the spacing of the hairspring coils, and the importance of the regulator being able to move through its full range without distorting the hairspring - the terminal curve of the hairspring must be concentric with the regulator pins throughout the regulator’s range.  If you meticulously follow every step in this video, the regulator system should behave as intended, regardless of the brand of the movement.  Best Regards, Mark

      Very Old Watch- "Echappement A Ancre", "13 Rubis" on the case

      By coreymsnow · Posted

      Hi friends! My mother got a bunch of old watches from a horologist who was retiring, and he subsequently passed away. It's been in her studio for years, and she showed it to me today and I just fell in love with it. Sadly, I don't know a darn thing about it yet. It's quite old, or at least seems to be. It has two winding arbors, but the key is missing. The crystal appears to be some kind of yellowed plastic, which is odd- I think it was replaced at some point to possibly protect it or something. If I had to guess, it's from the mid-19th century, given that it has no keyless works and that it says "Anchor Escapement" in French. It looks to be about 18 ligne, and the case fob is positioned in the upper right corner. The face is missing the dial, the hands, and a couple of the wheels that drive the hands- I think. But the movement itself seems to be in excellent shape. The serial number on the movement matches the number on the case- it's stamped on the movement and on the case in two places. I haven't started any disassembly yet, but I'm wondering if anyone can give me some idea of what kind of movement it is, and where I might look to see what parts are missing from the face. i may even have a dial that would fit it. It's in good enough shape that I think I could get it running, assuming I could find the missing parts. Any insights are vastly appreciated and thank you! Addendum: The inside of the case has some *very* tiny scratched numbers and letters in it, but I am having an extremely hard time seeing what they are. Like "N 99" and "No192X", They were clearly done with some kind of sharp stylus and maybe they mean when it was serviced or by who? Addendum the second: At least one of the scratches seems to say "N1921X" or maybe "W1921X". Serviced in 1921? And the inside lid of the case has the letters R H with a star between them, and a very tiny mark that says "ARGENT" in a u-shape.

      I’ve watched every video I can find on YouTube. Some of the info is contradictory and none mention  the effect on amplitude or spring coil spacing which I observed. I was hoping someone here is a Seiko expert and knows these inside out.
