    "Pretty useless?"  I happen to like my clock.  It's still keeping
accurate time after more than 20 years.  But, when it eventually wears out, I
will replace it with a tachometer.  Thanks for raising the question.

    How long do the mechanical clocks last, typically?

I'm with you Rusty, I'm fond of my clock also. If your clock stops, don't
automatically give up on it. If it quits  the problem maybe with the printed
circuit.
