Cleaning and Lubricating The Timex Electronic
Cleaning the Model 50 Movement
Timex has found, after careful investigation, that the best way to clean
the movement
is to disassemble the movement only to the point of
removing the balance bridge and the balance.
The
balance should be cleaned separately in a small jar to avoid dam-
age to the coil. The coil is composed of ultra-fine copper wire and should
not be handled with tweezers
or other sharp instruments.
Only standard watch cleaning solutions should be used throughout.
Particles adhering
to the magnet can be removed with Scotch tape.
Lubricating the Model 50 Movement
The movement should be re-lubricated in the normal manner using only
hi-grade watch oils (oils used in factory assembly is Elgin M56 b). The
balance bearings should be filled V2 full before inserting the balance.
Other lubricating points are:
]-Impulse pin or fork slot
2-lndex lever pivots
3-lndex wheel teeth
4-AII wheel pivots
5- The junction of the center wheel pinion and fraction washer
6-The junction between the minute wheel and dial rest
Apply grease (Hamilton PML type) to the stem where it is held by the
stem bracket.
Do not lubricate contact spring
or contact pin on the balance.
Do
not use oil or greases containing silicone.
