update: i have 1 dot matrix up and running, in the s/s top, on my wrist. i have 1 bar seg up and running in a s/s top. not keeping time. couple of others show life but still in intensive care. some of the pcb's are relegated to parts source. peter

Another one running! Just curious clockace, how many working scynhs do you have now?

[clockace]

hi LEDluvr, counting my original that i bought in 1975 i have 13 running. mind you tho', not all are finished yet. some are not keeping what i feel to be perfect time or have other problems needing to be addressed. i have 8 that i wear on a rotational basis. not all of them are sealed yet either. i have 5 that i have sealed with slow curing epoxy. of the latest batch of parts from ebay i have 2 running. these are included in the 13. i have 10 pcb's in various states, probably only 2-4 salvageable. it is interesting tinkering altho' sometimes frustrating after i have spent time changing out a chip only to learn there is something else wrong as well. like ed said on an earlier post if the stress is too frustrating i guess i need a new hobby. j thomas is very close to me in az and he has been a tremendous help and advisor. peter

Out of curiosity, when you got those 8+ synchs up and going well enough to wear, did you pot all the modules, or leave them unpotted to make future maintenance easier?

[LEDluvr]

That's an impressive collection Clockace. If you could take a pic of all them lined up that would be a site to see.

they are all unpotted. peter
