Is it OK to run an Accutron that has been in storage for a long time?

A. It is definitely not OK. This is one of the common reasons why coils and index wheels fail. When a movement has not been serviced in many years the old oil dries up like paint and the gear train becomes hard to turn. In addition one or more parts of the movement can rust from moisture causing a jammed gear train. Either of these problems will inevitably cause two kinds of damage.
