Adrian has started the tear down of my A8500 and order all the genuine 2824 and 7750 parts that will fit...
How much is that costing? Considering doing the same...
Feel free to PM me if you prefer
No price given yet , You would have to ask him directly. PM: Ado213
Also he is in UK
There are some improvements on the ratchet click in the new batches. On my early the little spring can easy jump out of place before the click is tightened with its screw. The new style have a slot for the spring end and is much more reliable.

santre22 One more question please, I looked for the "Swiss ETA 2824-2 reversing wheels" and I did find 2 different part numbers ...
- ETA REVERSE AUXILIARY WHEEL FOR 2824-2 PART # 1530
- ETA REVERSE WHEEL FOR 2824-2 PART # 1488
Could you please point out what wheels are correct? I am guessing 2 pcs of the #1488, however I just wanted to make sure. Thank you yet again
santre22 Thank you for all the answers! So in other words I better don't #$ck it up, there is no movement replacement other than the VSF
I am going to order the wheels to replace them, is there any other parts from other movements that would improve the VSF movement? I saw you mention that the keyless parts are the same as a, 7750 would it be worth replacing those? If I am going to take it all apart might as well replace every part that could improve it. Thank you!!
santre22 what do you think the lift angle is on this movement?
As the pallet fork seems to be the same or very similar to an a2824-2 I think it's 50 degrees.
However I tested the movement between 50-52 and the amplitude differ around 10-15 degrees.
