Musical Watch

[patty0709]

I have a musical watch that didn't cost much when purchased but has sentimental value.  It takes 3 batteries, one to run the watch and 2 to play the music.  I can get the watch to run but have trouble with the music part.  Does one battery go up and one down, both down, or up? Also there is a small spring sticking up from the watch, in the middle of no where.  Does this spring have anything to make the watch play music, sort of like a contact of some kind that needs to be in contact with the metal watch back? Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.  I love this watch and would love it even more if music again played from it.

The spring should be touching a ceramic disk which is usually glued to the inside of the watch back. Is this ceramic disk in place and will the spring touch it when the back is on?

As far as the batteries go I have seen all different configurations, but usually it is one + up and one + down. What kind of watch is it? And post a pic if you can, I'll see what I can find out.
