Repairing the battery compartment
My mom found the watch my grandfather used to wear, a gold coloured quartz Lorus from the early 80s. I wanted to refurbush it by putting in a new battery, polishing the acrylic crystal and putting it on a grey leather strap...
After opening it I saw that the battery had leaked. I wanted to clean al the gunk out of the battery compartment and clean up the contact points. But upon touching the + terminal it just snapped of. R3d is how it is supposed to be. Corrosion was worse than it seemed 🙁
Does anybody have an idea how to be able to fix this and make sure the + of the battery is connected to the remaing + terminal?
Main interest is in quartz and digital watches. Seiko and Casio are my favourite brands. I have built a bronze Casio AE-1200 and a polished stainless steel AE-1200 using aftermarket cases and straps.
There are movements of that number on Ebay to replace that one for around 20 bucks.

You are my hero of the day! I immediately purchased one 😁
Yea that’s the easiest way to “repair” any quartz model. Just see if you can replace the whole thing on a swap. ✌️😉
