Well as the title says I did my own Mod. to my clock. I was tired of looking at my Z clock being in the same spot since I purchased the car. I tried to fix the clock that was there but the oscillating spring was broken off of the main shaft. After setting the clock guts aside in a zip lock bag, I decided to take action and do something of my own.

The clock I used was a 8$ travel alarm from Target. I cut the clock out of it's body down to a useable frame. I also made a plate from perforated .050" aluminum to fit where the clock face did. I mounted the LCD and the chip that runs it along with the buttons for adjustment all on the back side of the plate I made. So here is what I came up with. What do you guys think.

Here is a link to the pic I could not get it to be in this post as a image.

looks nice for your first prototype, but it would look better if it were centered and the mesh stuff wasn't exposed at the bottom. sorry, just being honest....

yeah it would but the circut board would not allow me to go any lower then it is I filed off as much of it as I could without hitting the soder traces on it. I am just happy to have a working clock for now. I may look farther into this project in the future but for right now im happy only spending 30-60Min. and 8$.

I have taken the face off my 240 spring driven clock and mounted it on a 280 electric clock. You'll need a green bulb and some patience to get it all back together but it keeps dam near perfect time.

mine quit working so i set it to 420 and forgot about it

Jackpot is that what the pot stands for 420

I set mine to 2:40.......

Does MSA still sell the battery powered clocks? I have a couple now that I put my air/fuel ratio meter in the clock housing.

I set mine to 2:40.......

At least it's right twice a day

I set mine to 3:20

I set mine to midnight...or was it noon? I can't remember.
