Having this watch that ain't working after new battery? Only runs for a few second then stops? Seller sold it as non runner saying it only needed a new battery? 

Not my watch but been in contact with owner asking me for help? He has looked for a AC contact but couldn't  find any? 

Could we find a replacement movement out there or could it be repaired? I thought the coil looked strange but have looked on the net and they all look the same?

looks like a really old obsolete movement, wouldn't be at all surprised if the circuit's simply had its day. Problem I've always thought, these ebay sellers claiming "only needs a new battery" well how do they know? did they try a new battery? and if so why didn't they leave it in there, surely the expense of the battery is worth the easier sale. Would like to help you with finding an alternative but I cant read a caliber number and given that it has some extra function, with the pusher, I'm even less confident that one can be found.

Just what i have learned thru the years? Never trust a seller that says? Just need a new battery? 

I will see if i can find out more about the watch and which movement it could be?

      Interesting interpretation of "traditional". I would say that Loctite is definitely the up-to-date and appropriate stuff to use, however, it is a relatively modern solution. Before the advent of such esoteric solutions I believe that the "traditional" thread locker of choice may well have been a sugar solution. Once applied the water would evaporate and the sugar would crystalise, locking the threads tight.

      @steve1811uk close but no cigar 🙂 I don't smoke anyway. I checked in my stock of parts and that's the closest I got to your dimensions. Good luck in your search. @RichardHarris123 I have an accumulation of all sorts of odds and ends that I acquired as a result of buying up the tail ends of old watchmakers estates. Usually after all of the great stuff has been stripped out, which means that the sweepings off of the workshop floor can be had for peanuts, but if you have the patience, can often be found to contain gold (both literally and figuratively 🙂 ). These came to me through on of those purchases. I doubt that I will personally be able to make use of even 10% of my accumulated stock, but having it, and knowing what I have, means that I can at least pass bits on to those who can use it whenever possible.

      Hi and thank-you for your suggestions, as per Mark's instructions I checked my browser "Safari" and spell check and grammar was not ticked. So all sorted. Thanks CJ

      As an alternative, clear nail Polish, the advantage is you can have a manicure at the same time.

      I use Grammarly. It works really well and If English is not your first language, you will also receive help with formulations. There is a free version that covers most of my needs. It installs as a plug-in and works with all browsers and word processors.
