I consulted the data sheet for the clock circuit PCF8563T (U16 in the K3
circuit diagram ) You can adjust the average deviation over one year less
than +- 5 minutes. Adjustment of one capacitior (C60) is required though.

I feel that i have less accuracy  on my K3 than my quarz clocks in the
schack so i will try this approach.
Lyle - when will we get a service manual (with PCB layout ) for
this wonderful station?
