If there's anything loose, I would go straight to the RSC.

Well 2 things could be wrong the set screw for your detente is loose 2nd it's broken it's a 50/50 thing. Either way it has to be openned up from the back reinsert the stem carefully don't screw it down at this point now if you look at the movement close to where the stem comes in you'll see a little screw use a number 80 screw and tighten if it tightens you're all set however if it continues to spin the set lever screw is broken then bring it to a professional for repair. The movement had to be almost completely taken apart for this procedure. Hope it helps Rik
