    Description

    Up for sale is a nearly complete 1943 ELGIN Model 600 Marine chronometer movement, with brass case and a set of very scarce parts for an Elgin 600 Balance assembly. The items are in very good cosmetic condition although some parts may have accumulated oxidation, light scratches, dried lubricant or other residue due to 78 years of storage.This partial Elgin 600 movement is one of the most complete for-parts movements sold on ebay in recent years. This movement features several scarce parts that are rarely included in Elgin 600 auctions:The difficult-to-find parts include a complete, installed, and working "Fusee Assembly", "Barrel with Mainspring", "Fusee Chain", and the 3-tier 8-Jewel "Escapement Module Frame". In addition this sale comes with a mixed set of very scarce parts for the balance assembly, which include:1 x Elgin 600 Balance Staff. Very scarce part.4 x Elgin 600 Large Balance Weights, with the Attachment Screws.  Very scarce parts, 4 needed in a finished Elgin 600 Balance )2 x Elgin 600 Large Balance Timing Weights, with the Attachment Screws.  Very scarce parts, 2 needed in a finished Elgin 600 Balance1 x Elgin 600 Bi-Metallic Balance Wheel in uncut / unpolished condition. All holes are pre-drilled and all screw threads are pre-tapped.1 x Balance Impulse Roller without jewel1 x Balance Unlocking Roller without jewelThe dial and movement have matching serial number 240. The dial is in good condition, but shows slight traces of wear, smudges or dirt (see photos)The glass is in excellent condition, and has no apparent scratches, scuffs, chips, nor cracks.The brass tub is in very good condition, with only minimal signs of light wear to the lacquer finish from long-term storage.The fusee cone is complete, and ratchets correctly when wound-up. The chain is complete and in good condition. Some old lubricant oil is visible on a few of the links.The barrel is complete. The mainspring is properly mounted, and does not slip when wound-up, and seems to deliver the appropriate amount of tension. Since the movement is not complete, I have purposely let-down the mainspring so that it has only minimal and safe tension for shipment.The assembled movement and the loose assortment of additional Balance Parts offered in this listing are a far more complete set of Elgin 600 Parts than the one that sold for 0 last week, as this one features an 8-jewel Escape Module Frame, and this one also has the aforementioned scarce extra parts for the Balance.The clock, case, and assorted parts originated from the estate of a former collector.Please see my other auctions with other Elgin 600 movements, cases and factory parts.The chronometer and balance parts will be carefully packed for safe delivery.Note that to fully complete this chronometer, one would need some additional parts that are not included in this auction.Please ask before bidding if you have any questions.
