$5 Clock upgrade for R32 GTR

[msammut]

just thought I would show you all mu $5 R32 gtr clock repair I just completed.

I was not prepared to pay $100 Plus for a used 20 year old clock. Or more for a New Old Stock (NOS) one so I researched and found a tiny 12V digital clock module and decided to try and fit it in the original case and make the buttons work.

The result is as shown .

 NOTE: It is not a direct replacement and does not function as the OEM one.

It is very bright at nignt.

It shows the time continuously.

The buttons do not function as OEM.

The Reset button is not used. 

 

Having said all that what do you expect for $5 and an hours work.

The Good. It has an inbuilt temperature sensor and a voltmeter. It can be set to scan though Time-Temperature-Voltage every few seconds.

It does what I want for very little cost.

I hate to throw away good money when I do not need to.

Good job.

My clock has died and I too do not want to spend the big bucks. Can you please provide some more detail so I can do the same?

Ok. Just did it without pulling the clock out. Used the Net. The module comes in different display colours.

Good luck.
