How do I know what chrystal to buy for my 218 Accutron ? John | |||
|
John I just checked both the 214 & 218 service manuals. The crystal is not listed in either of the parts lists. Probably because there are so many different Accutron size & shape configurations possible. Have any ihc185 members replaced an Accutron Crystal? All else fails check with your local Bulova Service Center. Wayne | ||||

I agree with Wayne, perhaps a picture would help. Lindell ![]() | |||

John Cas-ker co. they can help you 1-800-487-0408 i don,t remember for sure about the accutron,s but they may have a case number that would tell you which crystal you need. ![]() | |||

I have done crystal fitting many years. Every Accutron should have a case number stamped in ink or engraved inside the case back. Many Accutron 218s, for example, use a simple flex type (or they call it snap dome)-some later fancy styles use an armored type. Original Bulova crystals may be a problem but rare is the Accutron that won't take a generic crystal. Call CasKer or myself at 1-800 328-6009 and I can assist you. | ||||
