Barbie Clock-Radio

[Hangtown Healey]

Our Barbie Healey clock radio has started gaining about 4 minutes a day. To continue to be useful, I would have to reset it every day. Can these be fixed?
How many miles per hour is that?

Probably running too rich. (you expected that didn't you)

Maybe it's just trying to get this rotten year over with?

On the serious side, if it's an electronic clock--the one I had was--there isn't much you can do about it (that I know of, at least).

Some physicists hold that time is compressible/expandable and if you can find one therein may lie your answer.
Me, I'd simply get another clock.

Disconnect the power supply, then it will be correct twice a day.

Yes, GregW, twice a day and set it for, 12:34:56...enjoying the numerical flow to its max!

My Healey/Barbie clock was electric; no power, it displayed ... nothing (although when new it did have a small battery in it).

I have bought a parts car. Hopefully its clock keeps good time.

Clock made by Lucas? Internally rusted? Mechanical drive seized? Smoke let out? Thanks, I'll be here all week, try the veal!
