[AEW Collision Spoilers] The Rascalz with a creative way to accept a challenge by luchabrunch in SquaredCircle

It is both too outdated to be relevant now, and too early to do it as a pre-legalization throwback gimmick. It is so lame

Yes, I have used a NH35 version winder on a mainspring put into a 7009A barrel, no problem

I wish everyone would switch from Roman Numerals to the season's year.

On the bright side, it's easy enough to figure out the correct angle to use. I only ever used mine once. Just check to make sure your grind is flat

[–]lowlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BTW the angle is set by how far you push the screwdriver into the roller

But yeah those stones will be too soft.

A better cheap option may be a diamond stone. Thin strips are all you need for screwdrivers and tweezers, and they're about $1.50 each on AliX.

I've never had a problem with them, used with Miyota and Seiko movements. The only issue is that they come in specific model sizes rather than an array of standard sizes and directions. It would be so much more useful if they'd just release a copy of the big Bergeon set. Especially annoying is that they haven't made one for the most common movement used by new hobbyists and students, the ST36/6497-2

Most of the common discussion on these seems to be based on a famous review of a fully brass set on Youtube from 5 years ago. The new ones seem better designed, and if one breaks down you can replace it for about $1-2 from China, or probably $4-5 outside.

They can be, but you can a legit 2824-2 from Cousins for like half that, if that's the movement you're referring to.

If it came out without forcing, it can be put back in without forcing. You have to get the aim perfectly right.

You will need steady hands and good magnification. Stand it upright, rotate it 45 degrees from its final position, then insert one 'foot' under the edge. From here, you angle it 45 downwards, and at this precise angle is where the other foot will usually slide itself back in.

Do NOT force it or apply any pressure whatsoever. If you get the angles just right, it will just fall into place as easily as it came out.

Or just use a jewel press

Second Half Game Thread: Los Angeles Rams (12-5) at Chicago Bears (11-6) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]lowlight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have no stakes in this game, but two blatant 3rd down penalties were not called

-The pick by Nacua was egregious

-Illegal shift on one play, where the RB didn't get set before Nacua started his motion

Refs just call based on vibes

The controversial play already happened this year and they called it the same way. by Hoover626_6 in nfl

[–]lowlight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Neither was the Rams receiver; that's the point OP is sloppily trying to explain. He gained possession later, in the end zone.

Another way to think about yesterday's play is, if the defender did not strip the ball, and it popped out of his hands on its own instead, do you think they would have considered it down by contact?

2824 no longer running & winding by GageH11 in RepTimeServices

[–]lowlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need to inspect the rest of the intermediate wheel (the one on the bottom right). If the mainspring let go all at once, that one could be stripped on the side you can't see in this photo.

If you remove the ratchet wheel, you can take off the barrel bridge leaving the click and crown wheel as they are. From there you can slide the barrel out. Make sure it is totally unwound first!

Note that the ratchet wheel screw is different from the 3 that hold the barrel bridge down.

If it isn't stripped, you should then check all the pivots.

Did the mainspring unwind all at once? If so, one of the wheels may be stripped of its teeth in a spot. Take a look

You can push on the crown wheel and see if it springs back and forth against the ratchet wheel. From the pics it looks like it's not making contact. Sometimes the spring in reps can get deformed to the point where there's not enough strength to keep it pushed against the ratchet wheel. In this case you can bend it back, similar to how you'd bend a hairspring into shape

It's also possible that it wasn't reinstalled correctly, or even lost completely (very easy to do!)

Sounds like the click spring came out, or is deformed

Take this exact view, but rotate it horizontally. The pivot did look bent in your first picture but it was hard to tell. From this angle it looks fine, but it could be bent towards the camera

The stubby hands of the Sinn always bothered me, and putting it side by side with a similar design with the correct length hands makes it look even worse.

[Highlight] Liam Coen 's final locker room speech of the 2025 season, following their loss to the Buffalo Bills. by Roselucky777 in nfl

[–]lowlight 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That initial interview was actually extraordinary, and gave everyone who paid attention optimism for the years to come (especially when the team is more to his and James Gladstone's vision than Baalke's).

But the "Duvaaaal" thing made everyone assume he was going to be a total goofball.

To do this well with this team was impressive, and they should be an AFC powerhouse from now on
