Hi Steve... Its Bill Roman.... I have a question about the Moon Phase Clock. What would you have to change on the gears to only run the clock by the pendulum. No weight shell. Just like the (Elecromagnetic Desk Clock). I can make Moon Phase clock and some of your other clocks run without weight shells. And you would be able to set the bob in a matter of minutes and have accuracy of 1 to 2 seconds a month. I can't show the prototype of the driver board yet since Im still testing adding and removing parts. I can tell you that, and I will explain later, that I figured out the main problem with the Electromagnetic Desk Clock with is one of my favorites and has been the biggest pain in my ass that I was not going to let it win me over. lol. I've spent over 10 months on that clock from morning til night figuring out what was wrong and making it so fidgety and after hundreds of dollars and prototypes and hundreds in equipment to prove my theory, the clock has now been running for months with perfect time and an accuracy of 1 second a month. And to set the bob to keep perfect time it only takes a few minutes (Not Days or Months to set). You would have a whole new line of clock designs to sell as well :-)

Sorry Steve I've been so busy I will be showing you everything for the electromagnetic clock very soon and also the boards and what has to be changed in order for this to work. Right now I'm on revision 4 of the board but this will be the final board. I'm just waiting for them to be delivered from JLCPCB in China. I'm supposed to get them this week sometime. But previous boards that I've been using have been working great I just wanted to change a few more things on it and make things more sensitive using trimmers instead of resistors especially for the coil. And it does have a compensated oscillator and the data sheet says it's accurate to
<2 PPM. Talk to you soon.....
