Nepro Quartz Solid State: Nepro or Nepro-mancy?

[Kasper]

like my experience...you can fit these with a normal lcd instead of a dsm lcd. I tried it but screwed up cause it's so difficult to let the lcd have contact with the contacts on the board. But i'm 100% sure it works.

I have electric glue but it hardens to fast to have an even contact.

Indeed you can fit an MSA module into those cases, since they were fitted in some of the late Nepros. The Microma module on my watch works well, although it runs quite fast.

[quote="vpn"]I've searched on the forum about a possible retrofit, seems that only MSA modules could be fitted, since the ESA ones have a small plastic "tooth" at 12 'o clock that allows them to not move inside the case. I hope the watch works, otherwise I'll have to search for a working MSA module, used by various brands (such as Nepro, Bulova and Candino).


MSA modules are recognizable by the layout of batteries: they have a "+ +" layout instead of the "- +" one seen in ESA modules, and they were available both with light (which required two LR41 batteries) or without (requiring only one). Here's a picture of the MSA module without light, fitted in a Nepro LCD (picture source Flickr):




I have the Nepro LCD watch that has the same module thats from Flickr here, the MSA module...does anyone know what year that watch came oput? My best research says 1977....
