A short little show and tell video became a full length project in this one. Basically two videos for the price of one! When you think it's all over, wait a little longer.... and Enjoy!

Hey Fran..Im old school and really diggin ur stuff!!
A true "Renaissance Sister"👍🏿✌🏿
It looked ks like the red plastic "watch glass" is slightly misaligned?
Of course is antique… is a fossil!
🥝✔️
My first exposure to a digital watch was in 1977, my 7th grade math teacher bought one and we all gathered around to view it's majesty. Can't remember the price, but at the time it was expensive. It was basic and it was ugly, but still cool as hell.
Oh but maybe, just maybe, it can be fixed…
Those old batteries are silver/oxide chemistry, while it can happen usually they don't swell/leak as much as the alkaline ones
More a cannibalization than a restoration.
"Vintage Reissue", eh? Nice. Joy for ever.
Those old school oversized vias – now they'd be way smaller and tented too! 🙂
Damn COB. I wish you could recombobulate the missing segment. I'd try testing the bubble display itself first.
Nice! What's it's worth on ebay I wonder?
That was fun. It just goes to show you, there’s almost always a way.
Somebody had a Sinclair Black watch back when I was in the 6th form (UK), about 1981 or so. Was so cool and unusual for the time, even if it was a few years old by then.
Wondering if the plastic shrinkage caused a via or soldered joint to break.
Great to watch you watch ⌚️ 👍
