Thanks, Ron ( @zclocks). That makes a lot of sense to me, especially with my fail on the 200SX clock. I'll have to take another look at it. 

Are you interested in any photos of the guts of the 200SX clock?

Steve, 

Sure I'd like to see what you have . I might even have one the 200sx clocks.

Ron

Hey Steve did you find the pictures of your 200sx clock?  Would like to see which one you have. 

Ron

I need to take pictures. It hasn't reached the top of my list, yet. It will after I get a customer car out of my garage.
