SME V service manual/parts list

I had no problem finding these for an SME 3009 S2, but SME V?

My google-fu is weak. I can't find a single page or image anywhere.

Anyone throw me a bone here?

I just bought an SME V and the VTF knob isn't calibrated. 1.5 gm is really 1.75-ish. Yeah, I'm sure I could send it back for R&R, but I figure there's a set screw somewhere and don't really want to go poking at it just yet without having a schematic.

Plus, I like having as much information as possible on my stuff.

Thanks.

Are you sure your scale is calibrated?!

If bought it new it is strange, if secondhand check with previous owner if by any reason the counterweight has been altered in some way.

The SME V applies VTF dynamically using a spring, so the counterweight isn’t a factor in the calibration. I don’t know about the OP, but I wouldn’t be comfortable servicing a fine watch and I’d be just as uncomfortable trying to service an SME V.

Have you rebalanced the arm (VTA/A-S set to Zero) and then rechecked VTF?

Do you have an extra scale?

The balance on my old 3009 has gone off a few times for reasons unknown.

Rather than do any risky surgery I'd use a $25 digital scale - which is what I do anyway with my Series V.
