Arutha:

I have checked the jewels under magnification of 3X which isn’t that strong. Since I do have vision issues, I think I will take it back apart and look the at jewels and the pivots again. When I looked at everything in the beginning, I found a cracked jewel balance jewel and a tooth missing from the third wheel but the pivots looked good with little scoring – the microscope might reveal a different story. I have put the balance in, but power doesn’t seem to be getting to the escape wheel.

I’ll take another shot at it this weekend.

Thanks everyone for hanging in there with me!

Tom
