![]() ![]() My clock is now running and undergoing adjustment/rating. Glad to hear progress is being made and I hope you won't have to wait too long for the gathering arm mount screw. If all else fails I wonder if functions b) & c) could be effected with a a piece of 1mm steel wire bent into a "U"hook and fixed behind the pallet. a) provides the bearing, b) stops the gathering arm sliding out of its bearing and c) provides adjustment of the depth of engagement in the escape wheel by turning it (critical adjustment) I would not think that any of the dimensions are critical. When the gathering arm is in place it should be free to move (within the confines of slot 2) Slot 2 appears to be at right angle to slot 1 and is deep enough to allow the gathering arm to enter the bearing hole. Slot 1 crosses the diameter of the top of head part and the depth is down to the bottom of slot 2. Sorry to swap units but the slot widths were measured with feeler gauges. ![]() If it's not possible to make one on your lathe then perhaps you could seek out the help of a model making engineer ? As my Synchronome is in pieces at the moment I have taken the screw out and measured it as best I can with my Lidl caliper Perhaps you can make a drawing from these notes.įrom BOTTOM of head part to bottom of slot 2, 1.15 mmįrom TOP of head part to top of slot 1 =. ![]() The book I mentioned in#2 does not describe your damaged screw as, in that DIY Synchronome project, the gathering arm is fixed in a different way. Hi again.someone on this forum mentioned use of feeler gauges in another thread so I can't claim it was my idea ! Like you I am a newbie on here and you may have noticed my post of a couple of weeks ago on a similar quest. ![]()
