Evening gents, I'm working on an old 18s m92 Vanguard 21j and I have a cracked mainspring barrel. This brings up two questions:

1)The barrel arbor isn't the 2-piece arbor type and I thought that all of them were for the 92's. Am I wrong?

2)The Barrel has a brass top main wheel instead of nickel, also different from other 92's I've done (Vanguard and Crescent St). I had an 18s barrel from another vanguard and its Nickel/2-piece screw type that doesn't fit. The barrel is the same but the arbor is to large for the plate hole.

Anyone have any thoughts on this variation? Or is it a variation at all? I'm wondering if the barrel was just switched out at one some point...

Thanks,
Ryan

All my M92s, with the exception of the 23j Vanguard, have a one-piece "hanging barrel" arrangement. The 23j variant, with the arbor being jewelled, uses a two-piece arbor. I know that the one-piece barrel uses at least two different size screws to attach the winding wheel.

Ok, thanks Eric. Maybe I'm just confused - that happens a lot

I guess the 92's didn't just have the two piece arbor since mine and yours are both the 'hanging' type. Well now I just need to find a replacement. Hopefully someone has one. Thanks for chiming in.

I have some model 92 motor barrel stuff. If you can show pictures of the parts you need that would help

Joseph posted a wanted thread in the wanted section. I asked him to post a pic of the broken part.

I too have most of the 1892 barrel parts, but need to know exactly which part is needed. Between the two of us, i'm sure there is one that would work.

Thanks to you both! Here is a photo of the barrel that need to replace.

Looks like Brian came up with the part here:
