The design is incredibly fragile and a lot of them are broken. I've made new coils for them. 2023-02-04T02:48:58Z 2023-02-04T02:48:58Z https://timeguy.com/cradek/01675478938 Rebuilding the coil winding machinery over January has given some great results: I now have newly-made coils for the Omega 1310 Megaquartz watches. Send in your duds if you want some! <p> 2022-08-18T03:47:59Z 2022-08-18T03:47:59Z https://timeguy.com/cradek/01660794479 This Longines UltraQuartz was misindexing, and it was quickly apparent that the drive jewel had been broken off and then badly super glued into place at the wrong angle. So I redid it. <p>More photos inside! 2022-08-17T23:06:11Z 2022-08-17T23:06:11Z https://timeguy.com/cradek/01660777571 I'm now winding replacement coils for the Omega Megasonic 720Hz movements! These have just one winding that is used for both sensing and driving the tuning fork. I can sell you just coils, for you to mount and solder yourself, or I can mount and test one on your coil module for you. 2022-02-08T22:38:53Z 2022-02-08T22:38:53Z https://timeguy.com/cradek/01644359933 This Rolex 1040 came to me with the dead seconds mechanism disabled, the pallets missing, and the pallets post broken off. <p>Video of the restored mechanism inside! 2021-08-20T19:49:29Z 2021-08-20T19:49:29Z https://timeguy.com/cradek/01629488969 An unusually small lever fusee watch came to me missing its fusee hook. This shows the new hook filed from a piece of blued steel. There is a beard hair for scale in the photo (a dime is way too big.) <p>More photos inside! 2021-03-19T02:27:30Z 2021-03-19T02:27:30Z https://timeguy.com/cradek/01616120850 This is the old broken staff, and the new replacement I made, for the flywheel in a Seiko QC-951. This is a very early and high quality Quartz clock. <p>More photos inside! 2021-03-19T02:18:59Z 2021-03-19T02:18:59Z https://timeguy.com/cradek/01616120339 The Slava Transistor, the Russian clone of the Accutron 214, is almost never found with good coils. <p>I rewound two sets for a fellow repairer. One required both sides and the other required just one. One also had a bad transistor, which I replaced.
