ETA 2824-2 Won't Wind

[preacher62]

I posted this on The Zigmeister's board but thought I'd post it here, as well.

I have a 2824 that has me puzzled. When you push the stem in to the winding position the yoke does not push the castle back quite far enough to engage the gearing on the pinion. I have taken the keyless works apart multiple times and cannot seem to make it work. I have adjusted the spring on the bridge and have adjusted the yoke just a tad. Gears are good. Stop lever is in the right place, just never had this problem before. Nothing changes anything.

All the parts look good. It is not an old movement so I don't think wear is the problem. Maybe something got bent and I didn't know it. Everything else seems to work fine. My only solution is to buy new parts and put them in.

Has anyone seen this before?
