mastergod Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hi all, found a complete 5500 case set and dial so am finally building an AirKing. Do we know where to source hands like these, preferably fitting a 28xx movement? thanks for any helpful hints! mg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I could not find any when I built mine so I used DJ hands until a good Brother donated me a set that he had no use for. On the DJ hands I filed points on them with a diamond hone but I didn't get the angle correct on the first try and got the "donation" before I messed with them further. I think I could have gotten them fairly correct with a bit more work but it was tedious. BUT, I got to use the hand broaching vise/holder I snagged off fleabay!
