Well it's in the nature of things to wear out, and this clock is no exception. After a few years of continuous operation, it can be seen that segments b, c and g are starting to shorten at their junction. No idea why it happened to the right edge of the rightmost digit. Maybe something to do with the plasma panel construction. Should be interesting to see how this will progress.
