Hello, fellow keepers of the time.  Has anyone purchased one of those
subject circuit boards made by Piexx (frequently seen on flea bay) and can
you provide a short review/comment?  Also does anyone know of sources of
impulsers (kit or assembled) other than Piexx?  I just can't see replacing
a serviceable solenoid mechanism on a Simpex or Standard Time clock with a
(ugh!) quartz movement.  
(Besides you never know when the companion master clock may be availabe.)
Thanks for your time and comment.  Sincerely,

this one?
http://www.piexx.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5

not a bad idea, I have a gents master that just wont impulse
consistantly, goes alright for a while then just gains like mad, since
the slave dial is kicked every 30 seconds it only takes a few double up
impulses to put it out of whack, I could stick one of these behind the
dial and have the pendulum just for show

this one is a bit cheaper but looks a bit messy with the extra batteries

cheaper still, if you can get one
