Ever wonder what is inside the sealed ETA packet?

I picked up a sealed ETA 2824-2 for a project and figured I would share what was inside.

For those that don't know. Movements direct from the ETA factory are vacuum sealed with a special gas. Also, this is the only way to guarantee that you are getting a genuine brand new Swiss made ETA movement.

Nothing really special about them, except the fact that they are brand new and do not require a service and can be used right away.

But is it ever clean! Sterile actually. They've never been touched by human hands.

Look at this photo. This is an interesting mark. ETA CS I've never seen that stamped on any other movement.

Anyway, thanks for looking!

Very interesting thanks for that.

But pray tell where might that little beauty be headed?

I plan on using it in a Franken 16014. I'm just waiting for the proper movement holder for the case! I have yet to build a vintage DJ, so I'm looking forward to it.
