So, What's the Problem?
It never ceases to amaze me what I find when I take down a watch for service.

I'm almost embarrassed at how long it took me to figure out what was wrong with this picture...

Quite creative... looks like cooling fins

This was found in a Waltham 18s Crescent Street model.

If it works, that's pretty clever! Waltham had an odd way of depthing some of those forks when the staff was not threaded, this one is not going anywhere soon for sure!

Looks like a Wilkinson model J-5000 spinning pallet fork to me.

Operative words..."If it works" Smile It did for awhile I guess, but it had signs of glue and really wasn't a great fit. Since this is a friction fit arbor, it wasn't too hard to make a new one.
