The chip was one I got on eBay from a different seller than the Ru 
movement. The chip number is a C8051T602.It's actually a tiny printed 
circuit card in a DIP chip pinout format. I have no idea how many or few 
of these bad boys are to be found anywhere. Anyone know of a 
microcontroller that'll take the raw sinewave from a Ru movement? THAT 
would be nice! BTW, a really cool frequency to make would be the 32768HZ 
of a normal quartz movement. Take a radio controlled wall clock and 
rubidiumize it and let it self-reset. in between self-resettings it'll 
remain astoundingly accurate, great for lousy reception areas.
