That would be my guess...at any rate, it won't hurt to replace it and it may prevent confusion in the future.

Hi -
Hamluis has the main idea already - This is just a follow up question for you -
Is your clock constantly dropping time , or is it just slowing for the first 1/2 to 1 hour , then not slowing after that ??
Will your clock be 1 or 2 hours behind after a full day , or still only about 3 or 4 mins behind ??

Thank You -
