Reply To: another split stem issue

[c.kelly]

Hi,
You know you did mention plate wear earlier and I did go back and check. What I forgot to mention was that when I checked I saw under very close examination that the winding gear on the stem was missing a few teeth in one spot and when winding watch the gears would slip causing the stem to vibrate. At this point I felt that was the problem and quit looking until I got the other movement in and tried those parts. I actually did try another caliber stem from a 1012 movement as I had clutch and winding gear that I thought would work but stem was too large, would not fit through opening in plate.
Now that I know what is going on I still have one other plate that has a few parts. May now try to combine what I have left on that plate.
Thanks,
Charles
