Some information you might find interesting at the Accutron214.com website

I've got a 214 and love it. The smooth sweep of the second hand is almost eerie, resembling an old electric clock. And the 360 Hz hum is a good conversation starter!

A typical Accutron problem is coil failure, which leads to the other typical problem: finding reliable service for them.

If you can find a convenient professional watchmaker willing to work on them, who has a good stock of parts, the Accutron is a great addition to a watch collection. (I've found the 214's a bit easier to get serviced than the other tuning fork Accutrons, perhaps because of parts availability.)

I'd put considerable value on either a warranty or proof of recent service. Also note that it should keep quite accurate time. A running Accutron that's losing three or four minutes a day is in need of a service.

Regards,
Bob
