I started buying radio controlled movements from Klockit shortly after that and, using basic model-building skills, I converted dozens of analog, quartz clocks for myself, for family members and friends. They have a great variety of hand styles and sizes, so the conversions went really well. (I have a large collection of my own clocks and now most of them are "atomic.") Of course, these days it's relatively cheap to just buy "atomic" clocks instead of converting your old clocks. Sam's Club, for example, has a large, analog "atomic" clock for $15. I donated clocks like that to my local church, where there's always a clock on the back wall of the chapel which is about 12 feet above the floor... and it always used to take a few weeks for someone to get around to adjusting the clock for Daylight Saving Time. Not anymore!  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-25-2004 04:36 PM                        that "binary" geek clock isn't very well thought out. all it does is take the decimal digits and express them in binary. so it's binary piggybacking on decimal (piggybacking on base-60). it's hard enough sometimes to figure out a normal digital clock first thing in the morning. carl  |  IP: Logged
