How many turns(back and forth)should it take to fully wind this movt.I have wound it 50 times with no resistance.I mean to say it is not at the end and I am afraid to go further with it.It does start running on the 14th.-15th.turn and runs well.Just seems like a long wind to me,abnormally long.Any ideas on this?
Regards Roger
