tghodin Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 May be a broken mainspring or broken/damaged teeth on a winding wheel. Either way, movement should be overhauled & the mainspring replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
