Thanks Lloyd, does anyone also sell the replacement clock boards with
the leds? I remember them being plug and play

Hi guys. Chris I bought this one for my TZ and think its the best one out there.

Its a few $ more then the rottondog replacement but read the page above and it tells you why its so much better and he also offers lifetime warranty and the optos and leds are replaceable without soldering which makes it REALLY easy to change. Hope that helps

The German board is the only one that fixes the direct driving of the switch
matrix problem.
You can use everyday slotted opto switches on these boards due to using
external driver circuitry for the switch matrix rather than the optical
switch. A much, MUCH better design.

The other clock boards must use high current drive optos with low voltage
drop....custom ordered parts. If the opto dies (and it will) then there is
only one source for these.

Has anyone ever seen a smoked clock housing? I've seen one on a guy's
machine on youtube and really want one.
