This one didn't have any real problems. It had definitely not been serviced in a very long time though. The case was a bit hard to open, and all the pivots were gummed up solid with old oil. Nothing broken though, it cleaned up nicely.
For various reasons, without pluspora to cut and paste longer text from, the instagram account will include much less detail, much shorter text descriptions, and no links.
Projects will be documented here on this blog. This means that updates may be less frequent as this platform does not lend itself logging each day's work. I will probably create posts for projects in process, and then update them as they go rather than create posts for each update, or wait until the entire project is completed.
It will be awkward to determine an efficient workflow that doesn't force me to spend all day typing here, or copying images from one place to another. We'll just have to see how it goes.
Meanwhile, I will also be working on posting, back dated, content on older projects going back quite some time. This is a large project and there's no quick way to do it. I have extracts of both Google+ and pluspora.
For 20 years I have been working with the goal of creating a body of online content that was durable. No expects content to last until the sun goes dark, but something that can outlive me at least would be nice. This goal has proved remarkably difficult and perhaps unattainable. I fully expect Google to pull the plug on Blogger at anytime. It is already not receiving support and updates and seems to appear in search results only rarely.
Thanks for sticking with me.
It had a broken mainspring but no other problems. Can you spot the break?
Both case and the movement are marked B. W. Raymond. The case mark is rather rare.
