Nice work Simon, and cracking pictures as usual Not that it’ll make a lot of difference, but shouldn’t the lift angle be 52 deg rather than 54.5?

Lovely work as always Simon. Any chance of a photo walk through on the 6138 and 6139 too? I’m mid strip on my first 6139 (I’ve been running round with Mrs Pip to buy her a new car and my 6yo has been under the weather so no tinkering at all this weekend!).

Polly has a pretty good walk through on a 6139B and the service manual is easy to find for the 6139A. I'm in the middle of a 6139-6012 that needs a fair bit of work (just jeweled the arbor pivots). I'll post disassembly/assembly photos when I'm done.

Thanks Steve. I’ve got Polly’a one and the guide, but always after more especially as it’s my first 6139. I remembered just after posting that Simon had done one on oiling a 6139 which also acts as a good guide. I do tend to collect them too in case we have another photobucket debacle. These are the few I have to hand, I’ve some more upstairs and quite a few more in my Dropbox that I’ve not printed out as of yet as they’re for movements I’ve not started on yet.

Do you have the 6138 & 6139 Calibers Repair Manual? The 6139 is much the same as other 61xx series and the differences for service come down to a couple items for the vertical clutch and hammer.

Yes, actually I do, although I didn’t know that until just now!😞 Will print them out to read tomorrow.

Simon from the first photo I thought the issue was no balance !
You are a magician my friend. Thank you for the detailed photo walk, too.

A great job there Simon, I am a little intrigued by the fitting of the pallet before fitting the train bridge, how do you check that the train is running freely?
I usually assemble the train first and check it is running free then install the pallet and balance, and wonder if I am missing something?

I must admit putting the pallets in before fitting the bridge made getting the bridge back on a bit more fiddly (getting the escape wheel upright) and I don't normally do this. Here's a running shot with the correct lift angle

Astonishing, I keep seeing nice vintage Rotary and keep contemplating one. I think you have just sold the idea to me.
Fabulous work and great that you managed to source the wheel too.
