Also, I managed to free up the slow-speed escapement. It runs now, but the excentric discs underneath the slow-speed knob that govern the action of the slow-speed gear train seem to be upset, so the escapement does not perform the actions that are indicated by what the dial is set to. Also, something is amiss in the gear train between the rapid-wind lever and the winder proper (fast-speed dial). But I guess this will be a minor affair. Kind regards, Amy
