Balance Staff ID
I have three watches that I need to buy balance staffs for: Hamilton 992E, Bunn Special 21j. motor barrel and a Bunn Special 21j. going barrel.

Can someone help out with the correct numbers? Also, is there an old catalog or something else that I should be looking for that would allow me in the future to find out on my own what I need?

Thank you,

Bruce

Hi Bruce

The Balance staffs for the Bunn Spl.'s according to my book is #47602.

The number for the 992e is #434(dbl. roller)
#435(single roller)
These are numbers I took out of a book titled "Illustrated Manual Of American Watch Movements". The staffs may be available at this web site: dashto.com
I hope that helps you out.
