RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted May 9, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) I’ve been doing jobs around the house today so I’ve only had a hours tinkering time I still need to finish the token machine and paint the instruments I've got quite a few instruments left over and I think with a bit of filling I could convert one to look like a wall clock Edited May 9, 2020 by chuffinghell 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted May 9, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) I’m not going to add any detail to the block instruments because you’ll only ever see the back and side To add a bit of variety I’ve cut one in half With one of the many spare ones I’ve halved the thickness and whittled it down in an attempt to create some kind of a wall clock Should look okay at a distance considering it’s size Edited May 9, 2020 by chuffinghell 8 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 You may want to investigate some of the presoldered SMD LED's available on ebay et al. I have some 0603 led's which are on 0.3mm diameter wire. Very useful for this sort of install. J 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
