Hi Paul, Glad I didn't say no aircraft clocks use a 60Hz timebase! I wonder if they used a commercial (non-aircraft) movement? The design seems to break the normal aircraft design premise that a single failure should not cause the loss of more than one duplicated system. Unless the clocks have

Excellent Paul! Many thanks for taking the time to prepare this data for me. I've no idea which variation mine is, but I guess I can assume (for now) that it doesn't require an external timebase because there's only one connector on the back. I'll hook up power and see what happens. As soon as

Well, I found some stuff on this clock... from a few handwritten notes I made several years ago, there exist both types; those that have an internal timebase, and those that require an external timebase. The clock that I can put my hands on right now is an A15586; I have a couple more. The
