My parents bought it for me in June 1974, and wore it from 1974 to 1976 while in the 11th and 12th grade. It has been in storage since 1976 and I just got it again. I put in a new battery but it did not work, so i read about shorting the battery out to the dust cover to get an electric going again sometimes, and that did the trick. It still keeps good time for an electric...I will be timing it the next couple of days, but I think it will run about 10 seconds per day or so.
