Universal clock simultaneously displays sidereal time, standard (local) time and coordinated universal time (UCT) on an LCD screen. Est. cost: $15.
ELECTRONICS NOW Jun 1995 (v.66#6) pg. 37

Schematic for an accessory for the Heathkit digital clock, model GC-1005. This accessory injects four extra pulses for every 1,461 from the power line. Thus, the digital clock keeps time in "sidereal time" rather than solar time. Accuracy is better than two seconds per year. Est. cost: $10.
