Changing the movement in my 5512?

[tghodin]

So, after two years of prime service my 5512 gilt chapter ring movement have run into trouble.

Its a Swiss ETA 2836-2 which now wont run. The movement hand winds but it seems that the energy stored wont be released. The winding is as hard as a fully wounded Crown and this doesnt change.

Anyone have an idea what might be wrong? I have some experience working with movements (keyless work etc) and would be glad if i could repair it.

If not, what are my alternatives for a new movement, ETA 2836 or maybe a slowbeat 2846? Anyone know of serious suppliers of those in these days?

Kind Regards, Jon

May be a broken mainspring or broken/damaged teeth on a winding wheel. Either way, movement should be overhauled & the mainspring replaced.
