Re: Clock

Tony -it's almost certainly dry solder joints in your current clock.
I have the soldering skills of a 3 year old, but even I managed to fix ours using the evilution guide:

Been fine for 3 months now.

Much cheaper than sourcing a new clock.

HI , 137699 .

my clock i set to right time in the morning , but it runs very slow , does not keep the right time.

when i first had clock , when you set the time , the hands went clockwise , now when you set it they go anti-clockwise [ crazy clock ]

Re: Clock

Yes. Both issues are related to the solder joints.

It really is an easy fix it you have (or can borrow) a soldering iron just to heat up the pins to let the solder reform around the connection.
