I was looking at some photos of some Providence radio stations by a specific user on here, and I noticed that in quite a few of them, they actually have quite a few vintage electric wall clocks, such as on the WPJB transmitter site, and the WBRU studios. It looked each of them had a clock just like this:

I think it's good that they still have them, as you really don't see a lot of those anymore at all. I'm guessing that model is from the 60s or 70s, though I wonder if a lot of radio stations still have electric wall clocks. I've always found them to be more accurate than quartz clocks, and easier to trust, as the batteries would never run out. There's actually a very old drug store still in business in downtown Natick that still has one, but it's the only one I can think of. I can think of several places that had them up until recently, but have since been replaced with quartz clocks. Are there a lot of radio stations that still have these old electric ones?
