IT WORKS!!

Great Grandad's Waltham Pocket Watch is now in working condition. I purchased a new balance complete. There were two listed for this watch. The short version was just flopping around in there so maybe the longer version will work? As usual, taking apart is easier than putting together. Attaching the new hairspring to the balance cock was difficult especially since the hairspring needs to pass between two fingers on the regulator. GRRR. I'm sure there's a trick to this that I'm just not seeing, but I managed to carefully fumble it into place and tighten the screw. The escapement seemed to function as it should, so I set the balance in place and went in search for the screw. Must have done something right. As I was tightening the screw the watch started running. It's been going for a little over an hour and keeping pretty good time. It still needs a good cleaning. I'm happy just to have it running again.
