Those are all the common style of clock.  I don't need one, but I'm always on the lookout for the rare push-pull clock, identifiable by its metal rear case.  I have one, but I've never found one that still works.

What does "push-pull" mean?  That you pull a button out to set it?

Yes, the buttons can be pushed & pulled.  I'm not sure what they do when pulled because...

But the mechanisms inside the clock for those buttons is mind-boggling.

Technically, I DON'T "have" that clock right now...  I mailed it to my brother (who repairs MRIs for a living in FL) several years ago, and he hasn't sent it back yet.

I think I have one of those clocks.  I forget which years had them, but I'll look tomorrow and let you know.

I was apparently wrong.  I can't find the clock for Dad's truck.  I know it is here somewhere.  

Anyway, that got me to thinking that we didn't have a page on clocks, but we do now: Electrical/Clocks.

Anyone have the instructions for the clock from a 1980 owner's manual?
