Guys,
This has absolutely nothing to do with B&O but as BeoWorld is an international organization with members having a varied number of interests, I ask, because I need some help.
I tried joining the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (which makes a LOT more sense than asking on this site), but even with the administrator’s help, there is an issue with registration….. so I can’t post a question.
I need a Brocot Adjustor for a Fritz Marti Et Fils movement manufactured in 1900. As this is a French movement I checked on eBay.fr with no luck. Found 3 on eBay.co.uk but they are all about 4mm too long. (My part is exactly 6cm long.)
The original part has a brass gear at the end of a steel rod which spins, and it needs to be fixed to work. I tried soldering it and then Super Glue, with no luck.
I then took it to a long-time watch maker who is 88 years old and he got the brass too hot and it melted into a mass of worthless brass.
The pendulum is an ornate gold sunburst, which is very attractive, but has a CRUDE adjustment for speed. As such the adjustment mechanism on the top of the movement is essential, and now I have nothing.
If anyone has a suggestion as to where I might locate such a part, I would be ever so grateful.
And again, please forgive the “foreign” posting on a problem not related to our B&O hobby.
Jeff
