It's missing the plastic battery adapter, and probably has the wrong battery.
I went with what I had. I did get the recommended battery, I plan to order the adapter asap.

I'm glad things worked out!! I had a similar problem with a Masonic Dialed Accutron. A lodge Brother gave it to me, it had belonged to his father and he wanted me to have it when he passed. When he gave it to me it didn't run. It had a beautiful GF case and perfect dial. Luckily, all it needed was a battery. I lucked out, Accutrons can be finicky and few watchmakers have a clue on how to work on them.

Good to see it worked out and due to your persistence you saved a watch from a lonely lifetime in a pawnbroker's display case.
