Maybe , Just Maybe and not doubting it at all I might just find my ......" DACOR Watch " .....this year

Looks cool! I never opened a quartz watch to service it. So nice to see if can be brought back to life as well.

Aloha ,
I posted this the other day and it looks like it had a ...... " Failure Now ".
I noticed it went dead in the box so I installed a new battery to check it
It is killing Batteries over night so ...... " Surgery Is A Must again " ... to do now.
Might be a ..... Bad Coil ..... or some thing else gone bad but everything works with it.
I'd like to find another parts ..... C710 Movement just to have it for spares.
Aloha
Louis

Louis this is a great job you are doing here. Agree the battery drain means short or drive train interference = large current draw.
Love seeing how you took that one down. Thanks for the photos.
And thanks to Google Translate may I wish you: hauʻoli makahiki hou

Aloha ,
Thanks Jon now to find another movement.
the problem with many of these watch's I have to find out just who sells the parts to get them going
again. I have a terrible time finding sources to just who sells movements or new ones besides the Bay.
This one of the other Aqualand's should have a Coil that might work. my friend gave me a
Quartz Parts Tester but it went dead so need to find anther way to do them.
But I don't give up that easy so I also learn more things to be OK.
Louis
