Vintage quartz service

Post by demer03 » Sun Sep 11, 2022 7:23 am

My 1971 Timex is working perfect flat but stops when wearing it. Assume a cleaning is in order. Anyone have a recommendation on someone who is good with vintage quartz? My local guy hard retired…bumming.

Anyway, where should I send the purple monster?
