Here I continue the Bunn Special project by truing a damaged balance wheel in the flat. I talk about the two types of nibs usually seen in calipers (an addendum - if your caliper has cone nibs, these can also be used to check train wheels for truth). My caliper has only large and small truing nibs. I show the damage to the wheel inflicted during a botched staff change, and show how this has led to the distortion of the wheel in the flat. Finally, I show how I true the wheel in the caliper.
One other comment. I say I'm not going to spin the balance fast, and then I do it almost immediately. It's clearly not useful for the actual truing process, but I do think it's somewhat helpful for getting an overall assessment of where you are.
As always, if you want to make comments or corrections, I am happy to hear them. I am always happy for your constructive input. Thanks for watching!

When I first I saw the device, I thought it was a thumb lock! But then the real explanation made it clear!

Excellent! I was thinking of doing a tutorial on this, but hard to beat what you've done here. I think your Bunn and my Gr280 came from the same previous owner lol. Exact same issues. Amazing how many issues arise from incorrect staff replacement.

Thanks! I think you should still do one - it's always good to have multiple videos on the same topic and get many narratives of the same operation. It's true, it's one of those things that is so common. It's too bad so many of them have been messed up like this, but that's just the life of a watch over a century or so I guess.
