jackflash Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Thanks mate! there is any tutorial available about how to fix it? Cheers Basically you need to remove the original ETA date wheel, if there's an overlay on there already remove it.. Lightly sand the ETA date wheel surface, don't sand the original numerals completely away though. They will act as a guide when applying the new overlay. Re-fit the ETA date wheel to movement. Very lightly glue the overlay on top of the original aligning it to opposite numerals as best you can. This the fun part, lightly place dial on top. Align opposite numerals to the date window of the dial, adjusting overlay position slightly as required before the glue drys. Once satisfied lightly press the overlay down one last time and you are done. Overlay aligned to original ETA date wheel Date wheel aligned to dial window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see alignment will be the most tricky thing because if you set the overlay on top of the existing ETA DW, then you loose let´s say the reference don´t you? when you mean "align oposite dial" yo mean turn the DW for checking right alignment in the date window of 3/9 and 6/12? which glue did you use? is the above dial and AM one, looks good, where could get it?

jackflash Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 It's a Singer dial off eBay. I used GS Hypo Cement and a lot of trial and error. What I mean by aligning the numerals in the date window is; you need to check the opposite numeral on the overlay is also aligned to the window. You can do this by carefully rotating the dial around the date wheel. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
