Sanyo 1978: saved

Post03 Mar 2015, 18:08

Found sunday morning at my fleamarket as not working,this Sanyo present a classic round case design tipically 70's...
The first problem was the stuck case back so i opened it with a hair drier helps :eek:
Inside i found 2 old rayovac batteries made in USA...wow...i was lucky cause no acid inside (strange)... :scratch:
Anyway after a quick clean and fresh batteries the watch lights up immediatly...ohhh not a keeper but i saved it from the trash..
Chrome case and stainless steel band and case back and mineral glass...Japan made...Happy to share with you this classic timepiece...

Very nice watch :) Would the rayovac be a silver oxide or even a mercury cell? About two years ago I removed a mercury cell from an Omega Megasonic that sat in the watch since the 90's. No leakage!
