Servicing Seiko Arctura..

[Chicane-UK]

Hi all,

I've got a 10 or so year old Seiko Arctura.. looks exactly like this (with the greyscale power meter on the face, rather than the colour one):



I bought it probably in about 2000, used it for a years and put it away again. It hasn't held charge now for a few years (always goes flat overnight) and I've decided I want to get it all serviced up and working again. Can anyone advise of a great place to get it a full overhaul? (New capacitor, etc etc).

Thanks in advance!

Woulda thought Seiko would do it in the UK. Replacing the battery capacitor might be something you could do yourself if you could buy a relevant battery on ebay or in Maplin.

Yeah - I could go to Seiko. Just wondered if anyone had any good specialists they might reccommend

Well, I recommend Ryte Time but I don't know if he works with Kinetic movements... (free bump!)
