Hi all.

I am finding that the Empeg won't keep the time very well, each time it comes out of the sled the time is incorrect.

I saw talk of a capacitor fix, is there one for the "time" area as well? I have a 1 farad supercap ready to go, just don't know where to attach/replace the other one.

It is a Riocar 2a...

Des.

Well, with a flux capacitor, you could have all the time in the world!

Yes but the 1.21 gigawatts is a bit of a drain on the battery

1.21 gigawatts?!?!! Great Scott!

Anyways, you could always try rigging up an electrical wire to a town hall clock while it's being struck by lightning.
