  2. I bought an used chronografic record for ($17) cheap. The company I bought from said, “it does not work on mechanical watches, it is junk”. Since I do not have any mechanical watches, and only quartz watches I tried it. It made a trace. Since I have never seen anything like this. I ran traces on 100’s of quartz watches and I got the hang of it to diagnose quartz watches. I use it as a volunteer as a watch battery repair person at a local not for profit thrift store. I bought a chronografic champion for its tubes as junk. It works but its trace as I now understand is normal. The record came from an old family owned jewelry store. Did they have the record modified to trace quartz watches? I shown the trace to a number of the people in the trade and they say that is not right. But for my purposes it is great and cheap. No high priced paper just cash register ribbon ink and paper which I have lots of from the pharmacy. Now I bought a second one, the champion does not need ink or I should use silver paper but some adding machine paper is really thin. It burns holes quite nicely thru the paper. Hold the trace up to the light and I can read it. Maybe I should consider the champion to be more digital (ha) versus the analog of the record. If I trace every quartz watch twice that I put batteries into, maybe I will get the hang of it. I know, I could buy more modern equipment but it is not cheap. This old stuff are tanks. But anyway, I work for free. If I had a schematic maybe I could figure it out. There are at least 3 models: champion, junior and record. I know that a balance wheel is different from the stator in a quartz watch but thru experience it has become an useful tool. I hate to start taking the machines apart to figure out how they work because I now rely on them to work. I guess I should buy more junk. Thanks for reading this but the family jewelry store had money. I bought 2 industrial horizontal engraving machines (cheap) from the closure. They engraved machine tool’s ID plates and who knows what else they did industrially as a jewelry store.
