Servicing ETA 2836-2 and similar movements

Haven't been around much but found this link regarding service of ETA movements. Very thorough and pictures help considerably for
anyone interested in servicing movements.

Thanks so much. Been looking for something like this forever.

I’m a rank amateur but I just finished a clone 2836-2 from a broken EWF 126611 I bought here. This would have been helpful.

I’m having fun trying to eke performance from cheaper movements. So far so good. A couple of prayers to St Anthony when a small part “takes wings” but so far, no “extra” or missing parts after reassembly!

The downside is I’m noticing things, like the datewheel, dial, and handset that can’t be unseen. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. Ugh!

Thanks for the tutorial.
