Hold on to your hats, gentlemen. I'm about to launch hip-deep into heresy.
I think Peter's advice is about right; just replace the movement, don't try
to repair it. My question is, why would you not simply replace the
electronic movement with a mechanical movement as was intended in the
original

When my son was 10 years old, he suddenly came running down the stairs
madly clanging an old dinner bell.

"Quick, dad, look at the clock"
I looked.
"Now think about the calendar."
I thought. And thought. Then it dawned on me.

I appreciate this discussion. I'm a statistician, not an engineer. I teach
linear quadratic estimation, of which Kalman is the archetypal example, as
a mathematical exercise without dealing more than very superficially with
practical applications. I've been following these posts with interest.

It has been caesium since I was an undergrad, at which time there were

A solid crimp is, I believe, generally held to be more than a solder joint
but this is in no way specific to audio cables.

The thought of what it must cost is frightening. A colleague just acquired

Warning: Potentially heretical material below
Let me begin by saying I am neither an engineer nor a time expert. My PhD
is in statistics and my spouse's PhD is in theoretical computer science,
working on quantum computer algorithms. Neither of us claims any special
expertise when it comes to time

Anyone know the price of the Excelitas device? No, I'm not interested in
purchasing one, just curious. I assume it is hair-curling expensive.

You're so right about the 289. It costs too much, sucks the life out of
batteries and is way too big.
I have about a dozen handheld MMs, from a piece of Harbor Freight trash to
a Gossen Metrahit M248A (believe it or not, a gift from a widow, off her
late husband's bench. NIB). My 87 is the

That worked for mine a while back. I bricked it and my attempts at
resuscitation failed. I put it in my "probably junk" container. Shortly
after that, I moved. With the hassle of packing, moving, unpacking, I
forgot it completely. Weeks later, I came across it, applied power, and it

That happens more often than you might think. Many and many a post doc has
labored long hours to complete and write up a piece of research only to see
it published under their boss's name.

I wholeheartedly endorse Magnus's recommendation regarding refereed
publications and presentations. Those of us who have made our careers in
academia accept the obligation to research and publish as critical to
promotion, tenure, even continued employment. Yes, it can be intimidating

Gentlemen, I've found this discussion interesting and informative. This
household works on quantum information theory rather than engineering so
there is much for us to learn.
I must observe that if an event takes out the entire GPS system (which a
Carrington event would not do) we will have
