This post was tagged onto another one and I thought I might pull it out and post it by itself.

Just wondering...about the reversing wheels in an auto winding mechanism...I have an ETA 2824-2 with a sticky reverser. I have taken the auto wind mechanism apart and cleaned it in Ronsonal 4 times, lubricated them with Novastar type B and L and it still sticks. I was just wondering what is the secret to this operation? Could it be that the wheel just needs to be replaced. The reverser that has the tiny gear on it seems fine, it is the other one that seems to stick. There may be some gunk between there that I just haven't gotten out yet.

Thanks!

Have you used an ultrasonic cleaner/ taken apart the entire winding mechanism?

I have not used and ultrasonic cleaner nor taken apart the entire winding mechanism. The problem is that...if I hold the watch level, dial up, I can hear the rotor spinning down. That would be a sticking reverser, wouldn't it?
