Hi guys, i've had a vintage Memovox ( i think mid 1950s) for some time now, the watch keeps the time perfectly and last approx a day without winding, the problem is the alarm function dosen't ring properly. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and if it's expensive to repair, also if the replacement pieces are available.

Thanks so much:-)

What do you mean 'not properly' it's faint or doesn't ring?

That's the alarm hammer, faint ding is normal. I have all the parts for these watches, typical overhaul around $400.
