Pannie not winding? Could be an easy fix.

Lol, the set of screwdrivers I'm working with also came for a dollar store. So I think I know which ones you're talking about, but they're still not small enough

BTW, the smallest screwdriver I have and can find is 1/32" Still not quite small enough.

So try going back to the dollar store & see if they have a file. And better get a magnifying glass too.

I just checked & the smallest I have is 1/32" too. & yes, I had to use a magnifying glass to check!

Ahh, great idea. And guess what? It worked! And guess what else worked? Tightening the screw!!! So now my Fiddy is all ready to go back onto my wrist. My BCE is nice, but it doesn't compete with the Fiddy.

Thanks goes to cybee and everyone else in this thread.

had the exact same problem, sorted now.

 

[justlounging]

i tried inserting a new stem to replace the bent existing *crown*..the new crown stem went in ok..there was some slight 'springy resistance" when i tried to insert it but didnt force it in...i took out the stem and tried again at a slightly different angle, just so that the stem would 'click' back in again..

my issue is..now that the new stem is in, movement and winding is ok but it seems like i got a much louder "ticking' from my 111...will i have to take out the stem and reinsert again?

appreciate any advice given..thanks!!!
