[time-nuts] Spectracom 8170 Time of Day grief...

In the nineties Junghans decided to introduce their products in the US.  
Three products, a watch with stainless steel case and dial and LCD display,  
antenna in the leather band, a Mega with 5 inch dial and LCD display and a 
Mega  with LCD only display. As part of the development effort they did a 
series of  tests through out the US on signal strength. Miami was one of those 
locations.  Since I knew senior management of their than parent company I was 
asked to help  with the logistics. I arranges beachfront accommodations on 
Sunny Isles for a  week and played tour guide. The result was that I ended 
up with two each of the  three products. 
As I posted before they all work fine and one had a very bad battery, most  
likely out of service for a month and after inserting a new battery it  
synchronized.

I  thought the Junghans Mega clock used DCF-77 rather than WWVB?

I have four 15 year old Junghans Mega clocks through out the  house. Ten 
days ago I noticed one of them dead. Battery, and by the look of  the battery 
dead at least a month. I inserted a new battery and it did set. I  did not 
watch  it but today I went with one of them through the house and  all are 
exact within  a second. Even advance the second as close as I am  able to 
observe. I am  confident they synch daily.
