Hi

The WV-58A at $28 takes care of the time zone thing pretty well. It's also
cheap enough to be a throw away if it's damaged. Since it's pure digital,
it's really not going to meet the "I need a second hand" requirement...

There are many Wave Ceptor LCD versions such as WVM120J-1 (about $27) or
WV59A-1AV (about $49) that might not have the spin issue.....
