American Pocket Watch Balance Staffs.

John,

A big THANK YOU !! It's terrific.

I have been trying to find the Mfg. part number to get a staff for my 992E and your list magically appeared just at the right time. Now all I have to do is find out how to identify the pivot jewel and I will be on the home stretch.

Thanks again for the "Helping Hand"

Bruce

Everyone,

I added column numbers to the header of each page to help you with your sorting. You may want to save another copy to your computer.

To sort, follow these basic steps:

1. Ensure you are in the correct viewing mode by clicking on "View", then "Print Layout". Otherwise, you will not see the header information for each page.

2. Click on "Table", then "Sort"

3. Select which column(s) you wish to sort on. You can sort on up to three columns at a time.

4. Choose your sort in either ascending or descending order.

By using the sort function, you now have your own interchangeability list of American pocket watch staffs!

If anyone has additional staff information/corrections they would like added, please snail-mail, e-mail or loan me a copy.
