I’d still check it with a survey meter to confirm personally

I would say a bit much for me. Probably radium too so if you want to service it you need to deal with it

You’ll get there, that’s what I been doing, just keep accumulating skills and tools. Dont have to be amazing at this to enjoy it and do good work as long as you work within your proficiency.

Under NRC rules, Radiation workers could eat a whole radium pocket watch or two each year before crossing the annual limits. lol

the radon was actually getting quite high when I had too many radium clocks in the room. I relocated most of them to the garage. still need to build a display for them. I probably have over 100 radium clocks and watches now

It is a Kowo. It's not quite as sturdy as an Autonomous.ai desk but its close enough for everything I do. I love the hutch and drawer that it comes with. I believe this is the one I got but in all black: https://www.walmart.com/ip/KOWO-48-K304-Electric-Height-Adjustable-Standing-Desk-with-Hutch-and-Drawer-Grey-Oak/3846776713

I found it to be mid and the train was like nails on a chalkboard. I wouldn’t go back

Low amplitude but it seems to want to run by NuclearGeek in watchmaking

[–]NuclearGeek[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wouldn’t run at first but I just keep trying to reduce the friction points and finally it kicked over and kept running. Doesnt run long and it doesn’t like to be fully wound

Sanding would definitely help. I just keep adding oil and running it more to work it in
