bjl3910 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I just got my hands on the specs, and Step-By-Step assembly instructions for the often misunderstood and underappreciated 7750 movement. It seems as though this movement is the topic for many posts on the forum. To service or replace; how to fix the date wheel, chrono not resetting to 12, running seconds where? LOL. There just seems to be a lot of issues with the movement. I understand that it is a cheap, readily available movement and for those reasons it powers a vast number of our automatic chrono reps. I wanted to fix ALL the 7750 issues with one of my reps, so I ordered a new 7753 movement for one of my favorites. I want to fix the sunken date wheel and make the date change pusher at 10 function. Basically I am upgrading the rep. After I drop the new movement in, I'm gonna have a spare 7750. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in me documenting the process of tearing apart, and then, in a separate post, rebuilding the movement. The instructions are pretty straight forward and while I'm sure it will take me a long time to do it, I feel like I can handle it. So I was just wondering if anyone would even check it out if I did it. Let me know. I should have my new 7753 in a week or so, and my tools should be here any day now. Also if anyone would like copies of the instructions and specs for the 7750, PM me and I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I would enjoy following your progress on this and wouldn't mind looking at the 7750 documentation myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudemeister Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 THere already is a great interactive assembly/disassembly guide available at ETA's web site. It also describes the tools needed, adjustments and settings. You can find it here: ETA 7750 Guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Read HEAR . Tearing apart a movement and putting back together can be a bit of a challenge. Getting it running is a whole other ball of wax and the instructions will not help you with it. This is what I am going through right now.
