Woohoo! Popped a battery in and the ol' gal sprung right back to life. The module is dated 11/77. The display is hours+minutes -> month+day -> running seconds. The lower button is a backlight, which still works. The display contrast isn't all that great. I don't know if that's because it's old or if that's how it always was. Does anyone know if these old LCD's lose contrast as a result of aging?
