Fixed a very small part...

Soldered on this tiny tooth that broke off the center wheel on one of my key wind Elgin pocket watches.  Had to be the smallest repair of anything that I have ever attempted.  For scale - that is the edge of a dime in the photo.  This certainly helped.  Won't know for sure if it was a success until I reassemble the movement. Video of the repair on Monday.  71,98,89,0,B

Dang John, that's an excellent job. I bet it's going to work beautifully.

Nice work. You can move into soldering those tiny surface mount electronics now... :)
