As above I've recently found this forum and just joined 

Thought it best to say hello before I go any further

I've always had thing for watches and now looking at getting deeper into repairing just for fun 

I've a few that have gathered in drawers over the years and will be using those as my guinea pigs at first 

As I say this is just for myself and to enjoy bringing something back to life that's.long been thought of as too cheap or not worthwhile to care about

The first on my list of movements to be dismantled and hopefully reassembled to working order is in fact the first watch I ever owned (still got it and it's long since stopped working)

Nothing special and certainly not an expensive one (think it's an old Timex from around '72ish)

Wish me luck ?

Welcome!

plenty of seasoned veterans of Times here. Keep checking the old posts and you’ll find all you need to succeed.

      Managed to clear the short, cleaned and oiled the movement. Now testing for 24 hours before I case it up. The movement is so small that it's loose in my smallest movement holder.

      Message board problem

      By Mark · Posted

      Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest. Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved. However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.

      Help with repairing a quartz clock

      As mentioned by the other members, it’s a dismantle job clean and inspect the solder joints. It’s an older generation using the paxolin pcb  not the glass fiber ones.
