jdkno Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Is there any way to tell by looking at the movement if it is a high beat 7750 or a low beat 7750? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 If you have calipers, the hands are diffent sized, but the measuring is microscopic. I've read Zig comment that some movements look to be old slow beat or new high beat...not sure how he tells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hold it to your ear. If you have a 28,8 listen to it (28xx). If you have a 21,6 (6497 PAM, Old 21J) listen to it. Personally, I find it easy to tell by listening. "looking" at it, start the Chrono. If you have good eyes or a loupe, try and visualize and count the bph between each seconds hash. Slow beat your eye/count should see 6, High beat you should see 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think most 28.8k ones don't have a regulator. but listening to it is best if you have a confirmed 21.6k en 28.8k. Personally, i put it in my TYMC Timegrapher. it automatically selects the beat number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
