...what this has to do with VCR clocks but I will say the manufacturer did a terrible job in putting the instructions with the product!!! It was nearly useless and shows the lack of concern for their customers. It took hours to put together only because the lack of information on the directions that were included in the box. Thank you for this sight!!! It was the only way we were going to get it together. Hundreds of dollars were spent on the equipment, of which it nearly was returned to the store simply because of the directions, or lack there of.
