SF 240 stem won’t move in either direction?

That’s the one, thank you.

Does otto frei or someone similar carry fresh ones?

More likely to find one with Pani, unless someone here has a spare.
With all the conversions made there should be a lot of them floating around.
You would still have to crimp the hole in the barrel plate and remove the burrs so the screw will sit on a flat surface without wiggling and become loose again.

How did it go, any progress/ideas?

I looked through my parts and I have a very very good looking barrel plate (better looking than the one you have) and a screw for the revolving winding wheel, it could be yours for a very very reasonable price. You can skip the hassle finding a new screw and manipulating the plate to make the screw sit as it should.

Moved to another home today. I hope you will manage to have your issue sorted.

Thank you Yoda, apologies I missed your kind offer. I need to check back here more often... I have found replacement screw #462 for my movement. I guess I will crimp and tap per your suggestion.

Replaced the screw (462). The threads in the barrel plate held fine. The old screw was stripped clean so I guess it took the brunt of the damage.
Movement took a full wind and has been running since Tuesday night.
