[Mk2] [Generic] Time clock, digital, illumination

[Ken58]

Thanks for the reply. I haven't taken the clock out yet, but yeah, I know to remove the original filter, I just thought 3mm would be a bit thick.

I want all the stuff I need to do the heater control and the clock at the same time while I have it all to bits.

Still not got round to doing all this yet, but somebody mentioned, I think it was in another similar topic, can't find it now, that when they took off the filter glass the number illumination was green, not white.

Are some clocks green and some white then? what difference does this make to the final job with red plastic cover? and as mine is a rev 1, will it be green or white numbers etc etc, can anyone clarify this please?.

Right, when I took my clock out.

The filter was kind of a womens sunglasses colour and the clocks were actually green LEDs.

I think the filter was so you can see it no matter what time of day it is.

Now I removed that filter, cut out the blue stuff and put it in its place.

Clocks are blue now

Its not hard to take it out and check. Take you 5 minutes max.

LOL womens sunglasses colour, I lke that one.

I was thinking about buying another clock to convert to red, then just swapping them over, I was worried in case the one I bought turned out to hve green numbers and wouldn't work to turn red. But it's fixable then is it?

When you change the filter, your not breaking anything. If it don't work, you simply put the standard one back in, you can actually tell before you put it back together, just plug it in to test.

I reckon a red one would work, but I went blue due to the dials being blue already!
