Clock runs slow...

Hi,

Anybody have any ideas why my clock loses time? In about 3 weeks it is now 10 mins slow??

Thanks, Andrew.

Must be something about that theory that if you go at speed of light the time stop..

sounds like a leaky flux capacitor which could be generating a small ripple in the space time continuum that extends out far enough to encompass the clock electronics, a little JB Weld should seal that right up

Seriously though, possible an electrical issue, improper voltage getting to the clock electronics?
