Time Warp

[Nate E.]

The digital clock runs fast in my '83 GL. I could put a piece of tape over it, but it just bugs me. Probably five minutes per 24hr. period. Is there a potentiometer some where? Maybe on the backside of the clock? Did a search, no dice.

I know my Soob is slow, but.....

Pull the clock and see what's back there, its a simple circuit that has a timer and display, should be able to see whats wrong.

sounds like a bad crystal?

 

here's a quick fact for you... did you know analog clock never lose time like digital clocks do?

 

anyways in a unrelated but still on point I have a ipod dock here and I noticed in 3 weeks time the time would be off by like 5 min. which in the end made me wake up later and later until I was late for work...

 

So I went to walmart and got the cheapest analog clock they had and replaced the crystal from that in the ipod clock and now it runs 5 min faster but I rather it be faster then slower.
