Howdy Mclark, welcome to the forum, we are the same age (old) the guys here give great advice, I would suggest the same as far as the staking set, make sure it is as complete as possible and fairly clean (alot of junk out there), looks like Michael is refurbishing a staking set now, he will have some good ideas. Also practice on several other old junk balances to get a good handle on the process, that will save you the headache of ruining one you want to keep. I bought a handful of pocket watch parts off ebay for cheap that I used for practice. By all means have fun, great to have you here, William
