Hi     Has anybody out there had a fiddle with these big guys, Just pulled one out of the box for a second look.  It is dead as it came to me, 

 after replacing the batteries and shorting out the ac link to restart it is still dead. not able so far to find any tech info on these beasts 

or who supplied the electronic units. So open to any suggestions except the bin

If we can see some good shots of the module, then it is possible we might spot something.

The pictures of the watch I found online suggest it is an OLED display, and there are a number of possible issues that might cause the thing to be dead. Often stone dead is easier to fix than for example a cracked display, so there is hope for the thing.

lol yes it actually does but a Quick fix on this matter is just to search on DZ7080.
I'm not a huge wiz on this type of watches but can recall some discussion a while ago about something with the backlight not working after battery replacement.

      I went with 8.90£ because 12th century Italian mathematicians are always excellent topics to bring up when trying to get your guests to go home.

      As a beginner, I’ve found this forum invaluable. I doubt I would’ve persevered without its support. I’ve had the confidence to attempt things that seemed to me impossible only because I knew there were patient and giving folks gathered around this watering hole, available to share their skill.    I would very much like to know where to go if this one dries up and everyone needs to decamp.  There’s something special about the folks gathered in this group.  How to keep in touch?

      Boley lathe motor silly question.

      By eccentric59 · Posted

      After a 3-week work fiasco that took up 137% of my time, I was finally able to get back to restoring a G. Boley 8mm lathe I picked up on eBay. I still need to do a bit of polishing on the tailstock but it works very nicely. Before and after pictures below. In any case, when I was reassembling the motor I wasn't quite sure which side the pully attached to, or if it matters. My question is ... does it matter? The listing photo below shows it the reverse of how I have it now, but it seemed that the cord and the reversing lever(s) should be on the right away from the belt.

      Deciphering mainspring specifications…

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Thanks Richard.  That’s clear.   So - another question - how much latitude is there in barrel and spring sizing? Say I have have measured the ID of my barrel to be 9mm and (all other mainspring specs being equal), the closest match I can find for a replacement mainspring is listed with an 8.5mm barrel size, is it acceptable to fit the smaller spring in to the slightly larger barrel without compromising anything functionally?  I’m in this situation now with an AS 1686 which has a 9mm barrel, but the closest replacement I can find has an 8.5mm diameter listed in its specs.  I can find an alternative 9mm spring, but would have to accept a different thickness.  I’m unsure how much wriggle room is acceptable, or whether in mainspring sizing, there’s a priority - ie thickness over barrel size etc. Thanks again for any info.  Cheers, John

      We already have a Facebook group run by Mark , so this is a bit moot. Search for “Watch repair lessons” group.   Tom
