3 battery?


Recommended Posts

I have an old LCD with a maroon tinted face cover.  It has two 386 batteries one facing forward and one back.  Then there is a third whole, much smaller over the two 386 batteries.  Is this a battery hole?  I put two new 386 batteries in and it still doesn't work.

 

Thanks.

I think we will need a few pictures, in order to answer your question.

if you look carefully in the small hole you'll notice that it is a trimmer capacitor used to regulate the watch.  then we need a much better or basically a sharper picture because it's hard to tell if all your contacts for the battery are the way they're supposed to be.

    • Thank you @nickelsilver ! Definitely close! The differences may just be superficial/decorative (differences in train bridge and balance cock shape). For me, the question is if I'd find the exact spare part for the exact movement (balance staff, ideally with spring or even entire cock). Or if I should just find another movement entirely that fits into the watch. The Lorsa 514 would then fit well (by it's external dimensions) and it's dirt-cheap on eBay.
    • Cool, good luck with your 620!! Yes, 20x the price is the correct calculation drop-for-drop. Then again, I probably won't even finish my 5ml of 9504 before it's expiry date (plus 1-2 years). And with the DX, I'd probably end up throwing away 90% of the tube by the time it expires.  I did also start with 2-3 pocket watches, then 2 men's watches (last one, a Vostok 2414, with a good final result; amplitude around 300°)... and now already the 625 (for a friend!) 😬. I'm very nervous about it, but also very excited, thrilled. And well, worst case, I can get a whole replacement movement for around 80 USD off eBay.
    • I calc it as nearly 20x more expensive, so worth remembering when you've used the 9504 😀 I'm oiling a 620 now, in between typing.  One problem with smaller (ladies) watches, is that due to the smaller part sizes, the frictional forces are relatively larger - especially on the smaller balance due to it's much lower inertia. Therefore parts have to be really clean and free from dust and dirt to get good performance. As a beginner I started on pocket watches, because they are larger and easier to start on, and that big balance is a lot easier to get swinging nicely. 
    • Looks a lot like an FEF 150 (Fleurier).         Or a Buren 35     Actually it must be Buren, the movement side is pretty dead-on, but maybe a slightly different caliber? Ranfft doesn't have much for them in the form movements.    
    • Great, thanks. Lube away, I shall 😁 The difference in quantity between the DX and the 9504 don't really matter to me -- I'll still need years to finish the 5ml of 9504. But yea, even when ignoring the difference in quantity, 9504 is still more than double the price...😑
