Hi AAC,
I'll preface this by saying I don't have any background in electronics whatsoever, just thought this seemed the most logical forum to ask a question on an electronic circuit/capacitor.
I'm currently attempting to restore an old Omega Quartz Watch. I've taken it to a watch repairer who noted that the electronic Module appeared to be dead - most likely due to the capacitor expiring. The watch uses an old quartz movement previously manufactured by Omega, it is a Caliber 1337 movement which looks like this:
My question is, how would I go about finding a replacement capacitor for this circuit? More specifically, would there be a way to determine the capacitor value required to make this watch run again? I can't see anything on the capacitor itself to indicate any values.
Thanks for your help
