drum clocks, dont remember who made em. Spent 1/3 the
day doing clock jobs, another 1/3 doing TC110 cassette decks &
the rest doing odds & ends. They even had a special price for clock
jobs out of warranty. Zenith also had a ton of clock problems with
the circle-o-sound ( made by Gold Star ) before they went digital.
The clocks IIRC were a tape that ran on a gear. There was a
bulletin for replacing them using shims to be sure the clocks
werent twisted causing them to bind up.
