Seconds wheel Compatibility?

[Slugger]

I’m looking for a seconds wheel (3186-360) for my VR3186. I saw one listed for 3135 as compatible with the 3186. Is this right? It seems to me the 3186 would have a longer spindle.

Likely yes since the motion works on the 3186 are thicker due to the GMT hand stack wheel than on the 3135.

So you think it would be a longer spindle?

Yeah I think so. But hard to be sure. Maybe measure the one you have, and ask if anyone has a parts vr3135 or vs3135 who can measure the length of theirs to see if it’s the same. Unfortunately I have neither movement on my bench at the moment.

I would but it broke when I tried to straitened it.

 

[dogwood]

That would complicate things.

If we ever decide to keep a database on this stuff, I’m offering my services if the bossman is listening.
