beat error is a bit high at 0.7ms, as it can be easily adusted

one case clamp and screw not original

one case clamp and screw missing

taking the canon pinion apart

canon pinion taken apart and outer part tightened

canon pinion tightened and put back together

the second hand tube needs a bit of a tightening

I removed the little dirt spot on the left of the two o'clock marker and lightly polished the hands

movement cased with two case clamps and screws

lots of dirt on case back and gasket

the case back needs a flat rubber gasket, not an O-ring as was in there

beat error and beat rate adjusted

ready for testing
