WIFI Won't Offer Available Networks to Select.
I have V4, and not 4B I'm sure. I recently ordered this: Amazon.com: Upgraded SI4732 Mini Radio, ATS MINI V4 Pocket Shortwave Radio, with Built-in Headphone Amplifier and Hi-Z, Exquisite Metal Shell, Portable AM/FM/LSB/USB All Band Receiver for Outdoors and Daily use : Electronics
✅ My radio has firmware V2.33 (Sept 22, 2025)
Can I get confirmation on my AI solution below?
What ChatGPT says:
That firmware was built for the V4B hardware, not the V4.
When V4 hardware runs V4B firmware, three things break:
- Wi‑Fi menu won’t open
- No network scan list appears
- OTA updates don’t work
Your symptoms match this exactly.
The good news:
Your radio is fine — it just needs the correct firmware flashed.
🎯 What you need to do next
Since you have V4 hardware, you must flash the V4 firmware build, not V4B.
Once you do that:
- Wi‑Fi menu will open normally
- Network list will appear
- OTA updates will work
- Web control interface will unlock
🛠️ Before I give you the firmware + flashing steps
I need one last detail so I can give you the correct firmware file:
👉 Joe, what operating system are you flashing from?
Choose one:
- Windows
- Mac
- Linux
Once you tell me, I’ll give you:
- The correct V4 firmware download
- The exact ESP32 Flash Tool settings
- The correct baud rate, flash mode, and offsets
- A safe recovery method if anything goes wrong
Just tell me your OS and I’ll take you the rest of the way.

Second Pivot Broken Placing the Bridge on a 3600 Practice Movement 🙁
I'm brand spanking new. After disassembling a practice ST3600 Mechanical Watch Movement I can't get the bridge placed without breaking the escapement pivot. Discouraged. This has happened twice after ordering a replacement escapement wheel off eBay for 22.00!
I have a Elgin Pocket watch sitting on the bench and can't help but thinking a 120-year-old escapement will be a lot more resilient and less likely to break. The ST3600 Mechanical Watch Movement seems rather cheap. I'm eager to clean and oil the Elgin.

WHAT LUME!
I have a small collection of watches, all sub 1k. The lume on this beats all! Does anyone have info on the lume Citizen uses vs say Seiko, Bulova, etc?

Can I get recommendations for matching the oiler to the oil/grease, please?
I asked AI and got the following:
Match the oil to the cup
Based on your setup and the lubricants you have, here is the recommended way to match your Moebius products to the Horotec [1] oil cups.
You should align the colors of the oilers (the metal shafts) with their corresponding colored cups to maintain a consistent, intuitive workflow.
Suggested Lubricant Layout
| Lubricant | Oiler Color | Cup Color |
| Moebius 9010 | Black | Yellow |
| Moebius 9415 | Blue | Blue |
| Moebius 9504 | Green | Green |
| Moebius HP 1300 | Red | Orange/Red |
Why This Order Works
* **Moebius 9010 (Yellow/Black):** As your thinnest "all-purpose" oil for high-speed components, it performs best with the finest needle (Black) to prevent flooding. Place this in the yellow cup.
* **Moebius 9415 (Blue):** This is a specialized grease for pallet stones. Using the Blue oiler in the matching Blue cup creates a visual "Blue-to-Blue" reminder for this specific critical task.
* **Moebius 9504 (Green):** This is a versatile synthetic grease for parts like the center wheel or barrel arbor. The Green oiler fits perfectly into the Green cup.
* **Moebius HP 1300 (Red):** As the thickest lubricant you have, it requires the largest (Red) oiler. Placing this in the orange/red cup keeps your highest-viscosity lubricant paired with the corresponding largest-diameter needle.
**Pro Tip:** Since you have a four-cup stand but your lubricants and oilers are color-coded, just ensure the "Red" oiler always returns to the red cup, and you will quickly develop muscle memory for each specific lubricant's viscosity.
