I have an old Seiko watch which used to have a nice chime for its alarm function. Lately, it has gone silent. When its battery went dead and I opened it to replace it, I noticed that the piezo transducer, a small disk glued to the inside of the watch back, appears to be cracked.
Is it possible to obtain 'bare' piezo transducer disks? Who caries these? How easy are these to work with? The transducer is connected to the 'works' by a pair of gold-plated spring contacts, so no soldered connection will be required.
Watch repair outfits want an outlandish price just to pop the back off this thing to look. It is actually 3 watch movements in one and (they claim) far too complex to risk poking around in. I think they just want to sell me a new watch.
