Does it run more smoothly with a NOS Telefunkin, or Amperex? |

I received my Tesla watch and it is very cool. Like other "tube" equipment it is quite large and heavy. There are actually two movements for time. One is the minute and hour movement that takes a watch battery. The other is the seconds movement that has it's own watch battery. There is yet a third battery, the ubiquitous CR2032 to run the LEDs that simulate the filaments in the faux tubes. When you turn the switch on to light up the "filaments" they turn on for 5 seconds and then turn off to save battery power. To turn them back on you have to turn the switch off and on again and the timeout process repeats. I'm including a photo that shows the inside of the case.

I thought I was the crazy one. I am glad there is another one out there. Now if we can make one with real tubes one for the left and other for the right channel, (and a WAV player) to drive a headphone... and we need a DAC... well, that battery isn't going to do it... I think you need a mini car battery. |

With two tubes, you might even be able to poke out both eyes at once. ray |
