It is wise to have Cathode Corner replace the tube(s) for you unless
you are a skilled technician with access to a stereo microscope. If you
still wish to do it yourself, then please take the time to read all the
instructions below. This may change your mind.
If you would like Cathode Corner to do the work, send the watch and
appropriate payment to the address on page 7. You may also elect to
have a watch repair shop do the work, but they are not likely to have
any more experience at it than you do. They should have the
necessary magnification eyewear, however, and they might be
amused to see such an unusual watch.
To replace a tube, it is necessary to remove the module from the
watch case as described below.
First, unscrew the cover.
Remove the battery.
Unscrew the two socket head screws using a .050" (1.3mm) hex key.
One screw is located between the bases of the two tubes and the other
is located above the battery holder.
Lift the module out by the battery spring.
Put the screws in a safe place such as inside the case cover.
The old tube may be removed by simply pulling its nipple end up to
clear the transformer, then pulling it out of the socket. The tube is
held in place with a small pad of double-sticky foam tape. This tape
is likely to tear, so replacement foam pads are provided with every
tube order.
Peel off the old foam pad slowly to prevent tearing. Clean off the old
adhesive with your fingernail.
Remove the covering from one side of a new foam pad and press it
into place where the old one was, in about the center of the space left
