Bulova Accutron 214 resistence value "Click" to Login or Register 
posted
Hi all. I tested the circuit of my 214 accutron and it´s bad.
I want try to change the resistence.

Do you know the correct value of it?
I think is a 0.25 watts
2.2 Megaohms
with 0 tolerance.

I´m correct?

Thanks

Manuel

The colored bands if 2.2M will be red red green
uncomon for resistor to fail, to test you need to test with one leg free from circuit.

Thanks Abell.
so what is the more common problem in accutron circuit in a watch that not hum?

If I put a incorrect battery wihtout the spacer ring I can burn the resistor or what part.
I understand that If don´t see the watch it´s impossible a true diagnostic but please give me some light.

Thanks

Manuel
