I wish I could say the same with mine. I got the cover off quite easily, but getting to the escapement to repair the skips is a very long story -- if I decide to repair it rather than use it for parts.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906642113469252066.post-75992029659678134662013-07-29T22:35:15.176+01:002013-07-29T22:35:15.176+01:00Great to hear you got it to work with Ted's he...Great to hear you got it to work with Ted's help!<br />As usual, I could not offer suggestions because my Studio 44's work fine.Ton S. https://www.blogger.com/profile/10691201724230891974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906642113469252066.post-32716588643701719072013-07-29T17:27:16.831+01:002013-07-29T17:27:16.831+01:00Yay! the Typosphere wins again! :DYay! the Typosphere wins again! :DTedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906642113469252066.post-50160418486197667472013-07-29T17:15:56.710+01:002013-07-29T17:15:56.710+01:00Done in under 60 seconds.
