Cleaning
the
Model
23
Movement
After
removal
of
the
balance,
ond
the
other
ports
mentioned
in
Pages
23.3
through
23.5,
the
movement
is
ready to
be
cleaned
.
If
o
cleaning
machine
is
used,
place
the
movement
in
the
basket
with
the
dial
plate
down
to
insure
proper
drainage
of
the
fluid
from
the
mainspring
barrel.
It should
be
well swirled
in
the
cleaning
fluid
after
which two
sets
of
rinsing
fluid should
be
used.
The
final
cleaning
fluid
must
be
absolutely
clean.
After
cleaning,
the
movement
should
be thoroughly dried.
If
a
cleaning
machine
is
not
available,
the
same
procedure
should
be
followed
manually,
by re- inserting
the
stem
,
grasping
the
movement
firmly
around
the
stem
and
shaking
it
in
the
cleaning
ond
rinsing
fluids
to
insure
that
the
fluid
will
pass
through
the
entire
mechanism.
The
balance
assembly should
be
cleaned
separately
in
a
small
jar
to
prevent
damage
to
the
hairspring.
Only
standard
watch
cleaning
solutions should
be
used
throughout
.
•
Lubricating
the
Model
23
Movement
The
movement
should
be
re-oiled
in
the
normal
manner
using
only
high
grade
watch
oils (oil
used
in
factory
assembly
is
Elgin
M56b)
.
The
mainspring
is
per-
manently
lubricated
with a solid
coating
which
is
not
affected
by
normal
clean-
ing
solutions
and
should,
therefore,
not
be
ailed.
The
"V
-
conic"
bearings
should
be
oiled
no less
than
3,4
full
before
replacing
the
balance
.
