Jensen JCR-425 Clock Radio

JCR-160 clock radio Clock running slow (by 3 users)

Jensen JCR160 digital clock running slow

Tried JCR160 with 120v to 220v convertor in India found the clock looses 5 secs for every min.

Tried replacing 110volt input transformer with different 230v input transformer found no change.

Tried rewinding the primary side of the original transformer without disturbing the secondary winding & the voltage output still no change.

Any solution available ?....

I also face the same problem
I use MAGNOVOX MCR140/17 clock radio. The product is excellent but the clock runs slow when used in India as the electrical frequency is 50 Hz compared to 60 Hz so I dont know what to do now.

The clock works off the frequency (hertz). In US the electrical wave frequency is 60HZ/sec and in India and many other countries 50HZ/sec. Hence, the clock slows down about 6 seconds or so every minute.
