Many years ago I reviewed Heath's "Most-Accurate Clock" for one of Ed Dell's
magazines. It used the Bureau of Standards' shortwave time signals. Sync was
a bit touchy (I eventually replaced the carbon calibration pots with
ceramic), but it otherwise worked very well. It even had an interface that
allowed your computer to reset its clock each time the machine restarted.
When I needed money a few years back, I sold it on eBay for something like
$400, without anyone questioning the price.

Heath had an fm tuner with direct frequency entry push button.
