But at home I always had GE Telechron clocks, and the time often stayed right on the nose for months on end. I still have telechron clocks and I can tell you the power companies now are really sloppy about this. Telechron clocks still are more accurate than most quartz clocks.....
I use mostly battery powered clocks (used from Goodwill) and I adjust them carefully until they
keep good time. (or I exchange the clock module with a better one) They are so much more accurate
than AC powered clocks because they keep working during power failures. I buy style and make them work.
