New JEWELED sec@6 7750

[GenTLe]

Note: this is a post I originally placed on rwg.bz so the references point to that board and the members I nominate are from there.

Nevertheless I believe this can interest more than someone here too, so I reposted here

So after kennycoder posted this thread here: http://www.rwg.bz/bo...howtopic=113529

I thought that one problem has been solved: now we know that the SWF Portuguese v5 have the new sec @6 7750 with good jeweled transfer gears.

But another problem arise: HOW to know if the others are using the same one?

So I wrote@Torobravo (thanks to him!!!) asking about this, and he told me that ZF is using a new one too...

Starting (apparently) from this one: http://www.toro888.c...product_id=1851 and probably this too: http://www.toro888.c...product_id=1904

Here the pictures. Let's check it together:

For comparison this is the old crappy one (tasken from JSJ thread http://www.rwg.bz/bo...showtopic=69834 ):

And this the SWF one from kennycoder thread:

1st thing I notice is that both the ZF and the SWF take the movement of the sec @6 from a gear on the left:

While the old crappy takes the movement from the top right:

Also they both (ZF and SWF) have the central part of the sec @6 pinion gear which looks made in 2 different metals (brass in the middle and some sort of steel in the outer part), while the old crappy has a full brass one.

This thing looks promising. Do you nothing something else?

I bought a seconds at 6 from my supplier in HONG KONG. He promises me it is a seconds at 6 from the ground up. WE'll see. The one I have is jeweled, but completely different gear types than this. I'v been into it 3 times, still cannot get it to run in any reliable manor.  Maybe this one is the answer. Are the sub dial staff's 6.8mm from center?

Promising news A, this has been years in the making!

Don't know Matt, not mines

I suppose they are in the same place of the standard 7750, just with different functions.

Damn, this could open up a whole new range of reps that I'd go for.
