Those of us who had hands on experiance with the Accutron found out pretty quickly that they had a serious FLAW. When subjected to loud sounds they either paused or speed up. I learned this in an old Hi-Fi shop while demoing smplifiers and speakers. If you pointed out the speaker currently in use by putting your hand up to it, the Accutron would stop! When out of the loud sound environment it would start again.
