6CAMC hand size

What would be the hand hole diameter for a 6CAMC movement?

I tried to measure the hands myself.  I get about 1.0 / .63 for the hour and minute.  The second looked bigger when next to a replacement hand that should be a 0.20 mm hole.

I checked the Ranfft Watches database, and they don't have this movement, but all the other Bulova 6 movements with center seconds, 6CAC, 6BKC, etc.. are 1.10 / 0.60 / 0.18.

Looking for a 1976 Computron Power Cell Hatch

Hi, I recently acquired a 1976 bulova computron drivers style watch. It has one of the two threaded battery covers on the case back. I'm looking for one or a matching set so I can finish the watch and make it 100%. Unfortunately they aren't the same size as the accutron 214 threaded covers so they have to be from a computron that takes a 228 cell. No one online seems to have any so I was hoping someone here might have spares or a parts watch that they'd be willing to sell.

Thanks,

J. Kratz

Disassemble 6CAMC reversing wheels?

It looks like maybe these can come apart by using the notch to pry.  Or as a means to unscrew, if it's threaded on.  But I doubt that, since the wheels spin both directions, either thread direction would tend to get unscrewed.

Or perhaps the notch is meant to be used to align the two wheels?  Unfortunately, the notched side is hidden when assembled and splitting the automatic bridge jarred the wheels enough to destroy any alignment they might have had.reversing wheels
