zenith watch cleaning machine light bulb replacement


Recommended Posts

Hello I just purchased a vintage Zenith Champion watch parts cleaner and this is my first parts cleaning machine to own and use.  It works has forward, reverse and heater dryer but the bulb needs to be replaced. I got a good deal i think on this, I'm not sure if it's a good brand or not. 

Light bulb replacement 6S6 Candelabra base is a 12 volt or 120 volt 6w ?

can anyone help?

Zenith are a good brand in most things watch related.  Is there not a label stating the motor and light specifications ?. I love the cleaning jars 👍

I would have thought 120 volts, but check the marking on the underneath to be sure. I would suggest having the wiring checked out as well before you start to use it. Nice looking machine and a bonus if its possible to upgrade the motor and maybe advisable considering its age . But definitely have a sparky inspect it for safety .

    • Welcome to the forum Dan, enjoy.
    • H Watch Repairers—is there is a ‘standard format’ for the service marks or codes lightly engraved inside cases of pocket watches or wristwatches?   Sometimes I can see there might be a reference to year/ month but other times am confused. I’ve included an image of the rear of a 1951 Hamilton 992B Railroad pocket watch as an example. Thank you for all information you can give, Mike
    • Hi to Blackminou29–am a collector/ caretaker—good luck to you following your repair course—with hindsight I wish I’d pursued a career in both watchmaker/ jeweler fields—good luck with whatever career passion you engage.   Thank you Watchweasol for posting the amazing TZIllustratedGlossary! Best wishes, Mike
    • yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here  
    • RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.
