Best guidance: The lead time is clearly stated on the order page. If you cannot afford to wait the 3-4 week lead time, please don’t purchase the product. Again, we have started to see emails about why there is such a long wait for the 1900W series. Here’s the reason for the long wait.  Batches […]

No one should be surprised to hear this. But with the recent tariffs, things are going to be getting even worse. Yes, we ALL pay these tariffs–they are not paid by the tariffed country, despite political misinformation. They are like a slow, steady sales tax that is titrated out of our collective pocketbooks a little […]

Over the last 10 years we have worked very hard to discourage the use of styrofoam sheet and peanuts when packing clocks to be sent to us. Our message, included in our very carefully crafted packing instructions, has largely fallen on deaf ears. What’s wrong with styrofoam peanuts? They look so nice and clean when […]

If you have been following us over the years, you may be aware that we have recently stopped populating our Model 1900S with alkaine batteries. It is very important to understand why you should strongly consider replacing your 1900s alkaline batteries with Energizer Ultimate Lithiums if you haven’t already done so.

We apologize for the recent interruption to our website. Sometimes a website provider decides to do updates without notifying the website owner or asking permission. Most times, this goes fine.

For many years we have offered Fahnestock clips as an option for all of our battery products. Sadly, we are now having a great deal of trouble sourcing these. This is the next progression in years of change with respect to these vintage components. Over 10 years ago, we could procure a beautiful nickel-plated component. […]

We’ve received questions related to our Model 1900W-UNV being out of stock. Have we discontinued it? Absolutely not. In fact, we’ve recently updated the design and added a new version specifically for master clocks. It is the Model 1900W-UNV-UC. So with all the good progress, what is going on? First there was 5 months of […]

If you have been watching or trying to shop in our store, you will notice that many of our batteries were temporarily unavailable. This is actively being resolved as soon as we have the new designs ready, which purge out alkaline batteries. We’ve had enough! Leakage and resulting battery holder damage have been plaguing our […]

…and we have been here for 8 years! Recently we’ve had folks relapse into sending things to our old location in Texas. Please do not do that. We include our physical address at the bottom of every email correspondence, so please send it to our Broomfield, CO location. If an item is sent to the […]
