The clock on my 80 4000 still works (knock on plastic)... :)
I have seen quite a few of these clocks fail, though.  The failure
seems to be a burnt out resistor on the little circuit board in
the clock.  When this happens, the clock stops, but you can still
see the second hand wiggle just a tiny bit (trying real hard...).
