Hello,

I was just taking a look at your website and contemplating getting a
faceplate for my outboard, when I noticed that you have "clocks" under
your hobby section.

So perhaps you're the guy who might know the answer to this one- I've
been looking off and on for an analog alarm clock that runs off a
standard 110v wall plug (or 12v DC with adapter), preferably with a
battery backup. Case and face condition don't matter, as I intend to
take it apart and turn a custom one (provided I can ever find such an
item.) The only important bits are the internal works and setting
keys. I'm undecided as to whether I prefer external bells or an
internal alarm, but as they seem to be a rarity, I'd take whatever I
can get.

I know I can find battery ones, and wind-up versions, but I worry that
I'd forget to wind it or change the battery one day and end up being
late for work. Since you have some rather obscure stuff on your site
anyhow, is there any chance you've got one of these squirreled away
somewhere? I "could" get a digital clock that would do the job, but I
really prefer analog for aestetic reasons.

You can contact me off-list at if you've
got any ideas, or here- as I check this forum regularly. Figured I'd
post it here just in case someone else has any leads, especially since
it's on-topic anyhow.
