You're right, Park.  It's only 320.833334052 continuous days.

Are the hours you report the  "Power On" time for the machine... time  
with tape in motion or something else?

If only 7700 hours of Power On... and knowing a bit of the history of  
where these machines were, one wonders if the hour meter has been  
around more than once!

Or if this is your Merlinized unit, whether the hour meter was reset  
by Merlin and this is an accurate "Power On" from the time of Merlin's  
rebuild.
