Has any of our horologist friends ever removed a broken curb pin from a platform escapement. and replaced it. Any advice would be welcome.
Roy
I probably should said that I have a staking tool. And have made and fitted a chronometer balance staff. Years ago I used to repair watches, main springs and complete balances etc.
Has no one got any ideas ?
.
Sorry, Roy … your question simply reminded me of the long-running advert in the Horological Journal.

MichaelG I have no knowledge of the advert, not receiving the HJ
Perhaps this might be helpful, Niko.

Well-found, Niko
@ Roy … Oops, that was presumptuous of me
The advert was, I believe placed by this chap: **LINK**
https://thetimepiece.co.uk
and often featured the by-line “Stuck on the Platform ?”
Thanks Niko. Just what I needed. Job for the weekend.
