Franken 1601 - Datewheel compatibility


jackojackk

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm building a franken 1601 (it's my first project) and I'd like to know if the datewheel position of a 3135 will match a 1601 dial? I don't know if the position of the date will be the same compared to the 1570 movement

 

I'm using a 2824-2 and the date moves clockwise so I'm not able to use the gen 1570 date wheel. 

 

Thanks for your answers!

Thanks Drummania but the fonts are too much off for me. On the parts I have, everything is gen except the movement and the hands. I'll probably try to print one myself if I don't find anything close.

An example of the font I'm looking for but with the numbers going anticlockwise. 

 

And this 3135 with open 6 that is available. It doesn't have the flat 3 but turns clockwise. Is the size ok for the date window?

I'd like to have thick numbers but I think what I'm looking for doesn't exist.

Another question :

Are the gear teeth in the same position and/or size?

 

(Look at the teeth at 28...centered to the number on the gen DW... a little off in the 2824...)
