Juan Manuel HervésAccutron 214 spaceview don´t work´s
Hi everybody.
Yesterday I purchased a old accutron(N4)
Today I purchased a battery(Renata 387S) with the spacer.
Putted into the watch. + down. Negative up.
But watch don´t works or make noise.
I see the watch and don´t see any piece broken or not solder.
Movement is clean and don´t see marks of a screwdriver or another tool.
I know it´s difficult to say. But can I help me.
Whats the firsts part that I must check if accutron watch don´t works?
Thanks
Manuel

Juan Manuel HervésThanks Lindell.
It´s a 214 movement. Whe I bought it. I saw a incorrect battery putted in it.
And I saw the watch at least 1 year(before purchased) with this incorrect battery.
I don´t see signs of corrosion or any part broken.
Incorrect battery. Can be the problem that incorrect battery make a dead circuit?
I have the movement complete. If I put a battery, but no gasket, no hand setting piece. Watch must hum or only must hum if watch is completed assembly.
I tested the watch in a Renata battery tester and watch never send pulsations.
Thanks
Manuel

Scott CerulloJuan,
You said that there is no hand setting piece. A 214 is back set. Is it in the case or is it just a movment. Post a picture of the watch if you can. Sometimes you have to give the watch a tap to get the tuning forks going, as it mentions in the 214 manual.

Juan Manuel HervésHi again. I putted watch again in case. In the afternoon I will send pics.
How can I chech if the magnets of the tunning fork works?
I putted a little piece of metal near the the two tins of tunning fork and I never feel the magnetic atraction.
So I think that can be the problem or circuit.
Because if was problem of the wheel or pivots watch must hum no?
A accutron don´t hums when haven´t battery or have a electrical problem or a object blocking tunning fork(not my problem)
I´m correct?
Thanks
Manuel
