Pugwash Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I seem to remember hearing that this is a symptom of some sort. I have an ETA2824 that when wound past a certain amount spins the autowinder's weight around, reducing the power reserve to a matter of a few hours. Does anyone know off the top of their head if this is an easy fix? I have no problem diving a certain distance into the back of an ETA as long as I don't have to get to the main spring or the drive train after the escapement. I know my limits. And yes, if I keep on going like this, there will come a point where I can completely strip a 28xx, but that day is not today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbh Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I've heard it's an anti-reversing gear that gets gummed up or stuck. Sorry I can't help you with how to fix it but apparently it's a fairly common problem, particularly with the A7750s. I have one in the shop right now. There was a thread about the 7750 problem here somewhere (Francisco, I think) and that one looked like a [censored] to fix. Hopefully the 2824 series isn't so bad.

Pugwash Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I fixed it by replacing the autowind section. Dead easy. Phew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
