I am currently servicing my third HMV 101 during the last two weeks, and have encountered a mystery ( to me).
I am using the excellent videos of Graham Barber for the service, and have meticulously followed his HMV service videos.
In the videos he is showing 2 different washers, that one need to pay attention to during the service:
1. In the winding shaft
2. On top of the spring barrel
However, during all three services so far, a third washer is dropping out from the motor when disassembling it. The annoyance,
is that I so far have not been able to detect where this third washer is belonging in the motor. It just falls onto the table when disassemmbling
and it happened again today. I have a feeling that it maybe belongs somwhere in the main spring area, but since Graham Barber also not mention this
third washer in his service video, I am so far stuck. I really would like to find out where it belongs, and put it back in its right place after cleaning
the motor parts and before assembling the motor, before I next week start to disassemble the fourth HMV 101.
Thanks in advance, for an input on this.

Hello Eugene:)
Thanks a lot, that information is much appreciated.
I guess that means they are on top of each other, right?

Hi!
Yes, 2 washers was together when I disassembled motor like yours, but from Columbia 202. Perhaps for better sliding?

Thanks a lot, yes it makes sense..for better sliding:)
You have solved the mystery, that I have been thinking about a lot during
the last weeks. Looking at the motors, I simply could not decide where it belonged:)
Time to rest,,,;)
