FEATURES: * Seth Thomas Radio Control Series clocks are precise to 1000th of a second per month * The clock will also self adjust for daylight saving time * Heavy construction * Automatic or manual setup * Uses one "AA" battery required (included) * Clock face measures 11 1/2" round, by 16" total, by 2 1/2" depth * Big heavy clock, 3 lbs each and durable Stock numbers? V.T. This is one large and heavy clock! Why spend a lot more money buying a new radio controlled clock when you can save some money by buying this used one in mint condition? If you have any questions, please let me know. The clock has been tested and it is currently running. Also, please note that while I no longer have the instructions or the original box, it's extremely easy to set up. On the back of the clock there is some minor scrapes though. While the clock is used it's in mint condition. and offer the most accurate time available but please note that this feature (automatic radio control) only works in the USA. This clock receives the signal broadcast from the U.S. It doesn't get any easier or more accurate than this! Once you set the time zone, it searches for the signal and you are all set. They never have to be set, except for when the battery needs replacing! It's radio controlled so you set it to your time zone and it automatically sets the time. I also appreciate you for knowing a lot about clocks and for sharing the knowledge you have.This is an original SETH THOMAS Radio-Controlled Atomic Wall Clock. I am truly eager to find out more about how it works. I do appreciate the craftmanship and accuracy of the Legacy 3W. Thank you for taking the time to answer my clock questions in way that I understand. I also admit that am used to a digital clock radio that sets the time and date using an atomic clock. Sorry, obviously I don't know very much about my clock but i am trying to learn. If you tell me that it will probably not strike correctly the next time I wind the musical and hour counting trains, which is what I am expecting, then I suppose I will need a solution for that. If you tell me the clock will somehow figure this out and strike correctly, I will be truly amazed. Will the clock strike correctly (both trains) when it is 4 o'clock? Currently, the next logical strike is at 3:45pm so that would be TWO 45 minute strikes in a row. If that happens, the musical chime train finishes the 45 minute strike that it was in the middle of months ago. Now, it is 3:35 some odd months later and I decide to wind the other two trains. I continue to wind the clocworks mechanism for several months. This is for a tapered pin to go through and secure the dial to the movement. The moon clock dial will have posts sticking out of the back and will have small holes in the ends. Remove the screws that hold the outer trim, so it can be removed and put out of the way. Let's say for example the musical chime train is is exhausted at the strike of 11:45. The first thing too remove is the outer trim that surrounds the dial in the front. If that happens, the hour count train will fail to strike even if that spring still has a little tension in it because the musical strike has to fully complete in order to trigger the hour strike, right? Soon, either the spring in the musical time train will run out of tension and stop, probably without completing a full sequence. I have stopped winding the musical chime train and the hour count train but I am keeping the time mechanism running as previously discussed. This allows the musical chime train to run through it's quarterly tunes in silence but still allows for it to unlock the hour counting strike train on the hour. However, some clocks have a control lever that just prevents the hammers of the musical chime mechanism from striking the gongs. Unfortunately, you can't have it both ways on most musical chiming mantel clocks. Thus the hour count train is really under control of the musical chime train. In short, the hour count train is unlocked only by the musical chime train on the hour. When the last note is struck on the hour, the chime train unlocks the hour strike train so it can beat out the hour on the hour. At the fourth sequence, on the hour the chime or music train plays the full tune of sixteen notes. The musical chime train has four sequences, one each hour. The time keeping clockworks mechanism unlocks the musical chime train of gears every fifteen minutes or tries to. I didn't tell you the whole story so let me give you more details.
