Seiko kinetic generator coil

[McRob]

Hi....Seiko Canada won’t sell parts...anyone know how to get a 5m42 generator coil?

Please note that we have a dedicated section for repair questions, as well one to introduce oneself, that is always considered polite.

Anyway, how you know for sure that the coil needs replacement? It has to be tested with a low voltage tester.

P/N A4002.519 Cousins UK has it for £21.75 but for about the same I'd rather get a complete watch https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gents-wristwatch-PULSAR-KINETIC-100-M-by-SEIKO-watch-spares-or-repair-5M42A/333361853847

Think i have a couple of broken 5M42 . I think at least one of them would have an okay coil. Have you checked with perrinwatchparts ?

Sorry to reopen a necro-thread (long dormant) - I have a Seiko Kinetic 5M42A that needs at least one coil, possibly both. Anyone know of any sources?  The usual fallback of eBay has failed me - there are people selling coils, but not the ones for this movement (which was apparently a very popular movement, used in Seiko and Pulsa branded watches.)

The coil numbers are: 4002 516,  and 4002 519

I'd also love to find a source for spares of the screws used all over this movement - they're Seiko PN 0022 247

Thanks! (Moderator - if this should be a new thread, please do feel free to tell me, or drag this one into a new thread.)

I don't think you would be able to find spare parts. Your best bet would be to get a new movement from eBay.
