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.

      I just poked an inflation calculator, and $5 in 2020 would be about $6 in 2024. Doesn't fit very neatly into any status codes, which stop at 5XX, but that's honestly somewhat arbitrary outside of a clever pun for those that dabble in such things. Back during the pandemic, I would spend a good chunk of idle time in the evenings scanning through hundreds of listings a night, and I would only land 1-2 a week max. I would often go months without finding something suitable. A very small percentage of the watches in the price range are worth pulling the trigger on for my purposes. The number floating through the thread here may be somewhat deceptive.

      Balance cock stud screw

      By Zedster · Posted

      Hi, guys I got there in the end after several attempts using a screwdriver and Rodico, I couldn't wait for the tool to arrive and was getting pretty confident handling the stud screw without it flying away. At first, I was using far too much Rodico, and then realized you only need the smallest amount inside the screw slot. Putting the cock back onto the movement also helped as it gave me more to hold onto while my shaky hand tried to align the screw wobbling away at the end of the screwdriver😁 Anyway, job done and I can move on. Thanks again for all the advice it's really appreciated for a beginner.

      the escape wheel can't move itself

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      You need to know at least the basics. Then the questions that You ask will begin to make sense. From what is seen on the video, the gear train and escapement look fine, but the balance doesn't rotate free. I can suppose that the thin gold colored shim that must stay under the balance cock is not in place.

      Waltham A-11 Hairspring and Balance assessment help needed.

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Yes, there are a lot of shapes and all of them are used in different cases. The one in Waltham A11 is one of the most spreaded and is what I have shown in the beginning. Of course, the radius of the final curve will depend on the distance between the hole in the stone and the regulator pins on the cock
