Cleaning the Model 80 Movement
After removal of the balance wheel, and the other parts mentioned
on Pages
80 .3 and 80.4, the movement is ready to be cleaned.
If a cleaning machine
is used, place the movement in the basket with
the
dial plate down to insure proper drainage of the fluid from the main-
spring
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 grasping the movement firmly and shaking it in
the cleaning and rinsing fluids to insure that the fluid will pass through
the entire mechanism.
The
balance wheel assembly should be cleaned separately in a small jar
to prevent damage to the hairspring.
Only standard watch cleaning solutions should be used throughout.
