[QUOTE="ttown, post: 3723182, member: 2114"] I’ve repaired 100s of these. Last count I had over 200 in my personal collection. I have a watch makers bench, tools, 2 commercial cleaning machines, timing and about 20 new/old stock parts cabinets. All the railroads are capable of losing less tha 7 seconds a week on all 6 positions, they considered them needing service over 7 seconds a week, a minute was fine with me😚 1. Illinois 2 tone 21 jewel hunter dated 1900 18 size full plate 2. CPR 17 jewel 1907 18 size full plates 3. Elgin 23 jewel wind indicator 3/4 plate 1932 Really anything over 17 jewel are just for looks other than the ruby cap jewels keep dust/dirt out of the hole jewels. I laugh at those bragging they’ve got 24 or 25 jewel watches, although the older ones had quite the art work. Rolex not so much.[ATTACH type="full" alt="4D8C9B7A-72CB-4F70-95B2-27F65010B022.jpeg"]251559[/ATTACH] Traveled 4 states buying out old jewelry shops for about 5 years with my teacher. Built a grandfather clock and repaired a few coco clocks, they take up to much room for the house. My uncle has about 30 mantel clocks from the mid 1800s up. [/QUOTE]
