About a Year back, Deacon sent me a kinda scruffy looking Marion - U.S. Watch Co. J.W. Deacon 11J Key Wind with a broken staff and several other items of concern. Kinda dirty too. No Staff was to be found, and while one of our members suggested trying an Illinois, the Illinois staffs I had were not interested in the job.

THEN , DEACON FOUND A STAFF!!!! , AND IT WORKED!!!

After about 15 hours (would you believe minutes?) of elbow greasing and Rodico, the plates shined up good without looking like they were "Brasso'd".

Then I looked over the case and it cleaned up with a toothbrish and hand caressing. The flawless hand signed and scaled dial fell apart, but I got the seconds chapter back in securely, replaced a couple screws, added a working regulator arm, machined up a couple new Jewels, and Eureka!

I wanted to show our group a Deacon that actually Predates our own "Deacon"!

Deacon I know you will like it. Enjoy!

David is that really the boat anchor I sent you? I cannot believe it could come out so clean! WOW!!!!! and to top it off it is engraved with my name on the movement! Thank you my friend for a beautiful job.
