VIBROGRAF M 700 LED SCALE


Recommended Posts

well, given my curisolity and the fact that I was once a "pinball wizard" I had to have a look inside this device.  Sure enough just as I thought there was a chance that something on the power supply was not quite right.  This volatge regulator was broken off the board. UA78M12HC F7911 - 12V bipolar 3 pin.   $14.00 on ebay :)  will do some voltage testing before I order it.  So about the "pnball wizard" - long story short is I was the lead technican for an amusment company for 10 years.  1980 - 1990.  It was an assistent directory at Columbia University that gave me the nickname of "JerseyMo".

Interesting. Do you have any better images of the boards that show the IC part numbers?

Is that device  heatsinked on the case next to the power board another regulator or a power transistor?

Any date codes on those chips?

Is it a mix of analog and digital or all analog?

What does that long steel roller at the front do?

no more pics, as I have put this back together and will listings it fr sale  "AS IS".

yes, that is another regulator and I'd say it was the 5v.  

did not look for date codes.  all digital that roller is just part of the display assembly.  

Was a fun porject and I was happy with the result and even more that I was able to remember the bascis of the electronics related to the power supply. :)

Sorry Guys, 

I am  located in Germany.  Enjoy Measurement instruments related to  Time and Frequency Systems and have dabbled with the usual timers, hence keen to keep in touch with this topic. Not a watch Tech myself but more into electronics for daily bread.

Just joined up, & received the  email abt Forum rules. no reference to any commercial activity. How may I contact you  Jersey Mo. I believe a personal link for contact is allowed.

Nice to be here.

More pictures of inside.   I just now notice all of the ITT components. They had a huge facility on route 3 East, a few miles from where I now work.  The location has recenlty been converted to a shopping mall.

Did any of you guys ever find a manual for one of these. I just purchased one myself and would be willing to pay for a copy of a manual if someone has one.

 

Thanks Jay

 I don’t know if it is acceptable  on this site to respond.

It would be acceptable if it was a PDF and preferably not a super huge file size. Just on the rare cases somebody actually makes it here to find the discussion.

    • 🤔 leaving the EU meant that UK was no longer part of the convention and have already been turned down an independent reapplication. I'm pretty sure courts have to be held in Switzerland in this case. There will be a lot more watches stashed away in draws  tbh, folk wont be able to afford to maintain them. Cheap watches will be bought and top end watches by folk with plenty of cash that can pay for service and repair. The expensive once in a lifetime gifts and everything else inbetween will be at the forgotton when they stop working.
    • although not in this case.  It was the Lugano Convention and its deficiencies that allowed a Swiss court decision in the first place.  This isnt really a Brexit issue at all.  A decision that affects both the EU and the UK should never have been heard in Switzerland. I bet the authorised service centres in the UK are pretty pleased.  It's a massive shame, though; I believe watch owners should be able to choose to have their watch serviced by whoever they trust.
    • Hi guys I think that old hippy is correct, it opens the gates for china to manufacture aftermarket spare parts. considering that they already do work on behalf of the Swiss I guess this decision gives the a little more legitimacy to tool up and I am sure they will take advantage of the situation either with or without the blessing of the Swiss watch industry  Having read about the protectionist machinations of the Swiss in the history of Europe they were the only ones to get fat at everybody else’s expense. I think the outcome could have been guessed at but ,  fair play to Cousins UK for standing up to them.  Now the question,  will everybody boycott Swiss watches and Swatch, no way they will still fill their coffers.  Me I stick with the Japanese once renowned for cheap shitty watches who came good through industrial effort and don’t for get the Russians that most dismiss as low grade crap. Wouldn’t buy a swatch product ever how about you all.? a
    • Hold the crown when in winding position, move the click away from the crown wheel, and then while holding the crown let it slowly unwind. I recollect that you must remove the automatic device bridge first, but maybe I'm wrong. You can first try without removing the automatic device bridge.
