Hi,
I finally came around to work on the odometer gears and the watch.
It was actually quite easy to find the 5 soldering spots to remove the speedometer from the board as someone has done that before (I guess, when they exchanged the speedometer with an US version).
I realized that the capacitors and also the board layout look very different from yours. I only had one 47uF and one 220 uF and both looked very modern. I thought it wouldn't make sense to replace them as they still looked fine.
As for the watch, I have a 200ohm resistor around which it looked pretty black. However, I could test it and so I assumed it must be ok.
What is your opinion on replacing these resistors and capacitors?
Thanks!
