[Heathkit] SB-634 clock calibration with WWV?

[Walt - WB2VSJ]

The Clock is totally dependent on your 120V  line frequency.  In the past the power company was very good about keeping it correct.  It would be more accurate over a extended period of time vs a short period of time.  They used to add in or take away a cycle or 2 so that over time so the average out as 60 cycles.

Recently though I saw somewhere they were abandoning doing this and "close to 60Hz" was going to be good enough.

Hi, folks.   Now that I have my timer display problem figured out, I'm
trying to see how the clocks compare to WWV. In the Manual, there's no mention of adjusting the clocks slower or faster. Anyone know if there's a way to do that?
