Originally when I fixed the hairspring and reassembled it ticked for the three winds I gave it and then settled down to a stop. I figured that was it and the spring was out of wind.

As per your advice, I set the balance to half past one and it kicked back in, perfectly smooth! Apparently there was a lot more wind left in the spring. I forgot how long it takes to carefully release the power on an 8 day, Almost got a hand cramp I didn’t check it on the timegrapher, but with slo-mo macro video it looks to be perfectly healthy with high amplitude and no wobble!

Thanks again Yoda!

Yes, that's why the long tube seconds hand is needed.

Hi Yoda,

Any updates ?

Thanks

Will be the coming week. It appears that I am coming home Thursday next week, hopefully. I have been at the hospital for six weeks now and I am pretty worn.
It has been the "long walk" since 2011 when my cancer presented itself.
I have had severe ups and downs since then and I have somehow developed a procrastination problem which some of you are aware of. Sorry about that.

Hi Michael,

Any updates regarding this topic?
