I ask because I have seen both types labeled (in Gruen factory packaging) as "V1". I assume that the smooth type is the correct staff as the other type is very close (or identical?) to the V4 staff.]]>thesnark172019-08-29T23:41:11-00:00Re: Wanted: info/source for balance staff, 1907 VE pocket watch

Taking the donor in for exploratory surgery tomorrow. Fingers crossed! I have a 19j Madrestch as a last resort, but scavenging that would kill me.]]>Case2019-09-03T03:00:41-00:00Re: Wanted: info/source for balance staff, 1907 VE pocket watch

Here's a visual of the broken staff.
Also, thinking longer term of getting this into a CAD file and finding a CM. Such a simple design. Any recos?]]>Case2019-09-03T17:33:43-00:00Re: Wanted: info/source for balance staff, 1907 VE pocket watch

Escapement is identical, but 19j has a standard roller table, so takes the same broad collar v1-V4 staff discussed above. So need to have staff made.
Btw, this staff looks just like a pallet arbor. Can't help thinking that would be much easier to find. Anyone know a way of checking if there's a pallet arbor available that would fit? Tried several websites, but couldn't find a way to search dimensions.]]>Case2019-09-15T03:20:02-00:00
