Questions for vintage digital aficionados

At first it was going to be question, singular, then I thought, hey – a collection of such questions and answers could be an interesting resource.

Faint display on Citizen C300 – possible fix

So I had almost the exact same problem as this guy – after all reset, the LCD looked perfect with all segments on, but was nearly invisible otherwise.

I pulled the module out to have a tinker, but having never pulled hands off an analog before, balked…

CASIO Melody Alarm (circa 1986)

I’ve been posting for some time now, and I realize I didn’t pay a tribute to my most faithful watch EVER : the CASIO Melody Alarm.
I think I have it since my 15th birthday (I’m 37 now) and it never let me down.

Casio F-105 module in F-91 or W-59 case?

Just a quick question regarding the F-105 module.

As the F-105 has an EL backlight, I wonder whether we can use the F-105 module on other watches like the F-91 or ideally the W-59 (better water-resistance)?

Thanks for any info.

CASIO F91W On New Rubber Strap

It happens that the F91 doesn’t use spring bars but friction pins. And one of them is stuck. It took me a while to remove the original strap.

The process left some red marks on my hand and a broken spring bars removal tool. I don’t know how did that install the pins at the factory?
