Of clocks and learning curves...

Why didn't you just get the clock with the battery pack attached?

Plus, the fact that this VERY simple instalation gave your A&P trouble
worries me (and should worry you). He should have known how this
electrical system works without even looking at the wiring diagram.
It's
not exactly a "state secret" that clock power, and radio memory keep
alives, generally have to have a wire run to the battery. You'd better
keep an eye on this guy.

Absolutely.

This A&P is a 60 year old, retired grocery store manager, working as an
"apprentice" with my favorite A&P, a "master mechanic" with 30+ years
experience. He just got his A&P license this past winter, but has been
working around airplanes for many years. (He owned and operated an FBO
before going into business with his best friend, the master mechanic, and
is
a CFI who owned a Bonanza for many years.)

He's a helluva nice guy, very careful and thorough about most things --
but
he obviously didn't know what the heck he was doing with this clock.

The upside: He's fixing it on his nickel. The downside: Every time you
take something apart, you risk breaking something else.
