Any coaches having trouble with the recall button on a Seiko stopwatch? If so, it might be a very easy fix. The problem could be a bent metal strip inside. Years of use, pressing too hard, and/or dropping the watch may have bent the strip too much to make contact.If that's the issue:
Use a small Phillips head screwdriver to carefully remove the back of the watch. Then, use a small flat head screwdriver to staighten the bent metal contact strip.
Don't bend it too far - just straighten it. You just want it to complete the circuit when you press your recall button.
Calling all quilters! Save all those old swim team shirts your kids have accumulated and put together something special for them when they "retire" from the sport.

WVU Tech is dropping football. Read more here.
Tech's football season ended Saturday, when the team lost 32-23 at Campbellsville University in Kentucky. The program will not resume next fall.
Head football coach Scott Tinsley, who took over the WVU Tech program in 2008, was surprised by the decision.
"I did not expect it," he said. "I'm still amazed that they're shutting down something that makes nearly a $1 million a year for the institution.
Sad they're losing their program, but claiming the program brings in nearly a million bucks annually is dishonest.
Somewhere along the line, athetic departments began calling football a "revenue" sport. By elimination, sports like swimming became known as "non-revenue" sports. After years of seeing the revenue/non-revenue labels, John Q. Public has accepted these lies as truth.
The fact is, only a handful of football programs bring in more money than they spend. Truth is, the net losses of most football programs far exceed those of "non-revenue" sports.
If athletic departments eliminated their so-called "revenue" sports, they'd save many times the amount they "save" by cutting "non-revenue" sports.
