Please help..looking for a Elgin part to my pocket watch
I need a fourth wheel with the seconds pivit, my seconds pivit is broken off. This would be for a Elgin 1881 size 16 grade 93 11 J Convertible. If anyone knows where I might be able to get one please let me know.
Thanks

I have a 16s 1883 Grade 49 15 jewel convertable, that has a good 4th wheel but needs a balance staff & center wheel, do you know if the parts on mine would fit yours?

Leonard,

My bet is Chris Abell could make that pivot for you.

Hi Leonard, I have a Elgin Material book it has the same numbers for the grade 93 & 49 - 4th wheel.

4th wheel and pionion part #1027

So they should interchange.
