Have you used the accucell?

Hello AndrewD,
The accucell has a circuit coupled to the power cell that drops the voltage to 1.35 , back to the original mercury battery output. The accucell usually last about 6 months compared to 1 year. But, safer for the coils and circuit blocks delicate wires that were not designed to handle 1.55 volts.
Kind regards

.... is a good recommendation, Anthony. Availability may be an issue, but it does reduce the voltage to the 1.35V target (range: 1.32 - 1.41 V) of the original circuit. Some watches will run fast with the 1.55V 387S battery, but if they are running accura...

I will revisit the SpaceView with some more pictures. Plus it is probably time for an Accutron photo-thread again. I agree that the engineering in the movement is phenomenal, particularly considering it was developed in the late 1950's. An emphatic way of...
