First off not to be too harsh here but any watchmaker involved in Vintage Timepiece Repair and Restoration that suggests you sell off your historic watch for parts is a #$@&%... Ok having said that, your watch can be repaired. Very few watchmakers today will even look at a 214 or 218 Accutron. That is why what you see on the web are outrageous prices for repair. If your coils are dead then they can be replaced. Its cheaper to replace the entire movement than it is to have a watchmaker disassemble, ultrasonically clean and complete a full coil replacement. So search e-bay and find a clean Spaceview Movement that is running accurately. Do not sell the watch for parts! Why? Because you will get only a fraction of what the watch is actually worth. And they will probably melt down the case as most do these days. Faux Spaceviews run rampant much like the Gruen Curvex.. its really hard to find an all original Spaceview. The good news is that parts are available for your watch. I specialize in Accutron.
