I was the sole bidder on this $60 auction recently. Lousy picture, but I took a chance.

Eric UnseltMore and more I appreciate these metal dials and their weatherbeaten look.
Being a renegade Seth man, I have no spare Waltham stuff.
My thanks to our own Ed Kitner, who very graciously donated these blued hands to the project.

Eric UnseltUnder the hood lay an excellent 17-jewel engine that needed nothing but a good degreasing.
Note the "3 Positions" by the balance wheel on the lower plate. Anybody ever seen this?
