Hello Fellow Members,
I have a New England (Scout) PW, size 12, SN 278187. I believe it dates back to the late 1800's.
This PW runs well, but, my problem is time set. It is stem wound and I believe stem set. I tried
pulling out the stem to set the time, but, it does not move. I thought it probably needed to be
adjusted. I removed the movement and expected to see the end of the stem only. What I saw
was 2 small gears attached to the end of the stem. One of the gears was slightly larger than the
other. These two gears prevent the stem from being pulled out to set the PW. My assumption
is that the stem has to be pushed in ( to mesh with other gears on the movement )instead of
out, to time set the PW.
I would appreciate some input on this subject. Is my assumption correct?
Thank You
