So i picked up an el clock this morning for free.It had a clear red lens,so it got me thinking.I took apart both clocks and switched the amber lens to my eg clock.It fits right in.So word to the wise.Anyone looking around at scrap yards,see if you can locate an el and snag as many clocks as ya can :thumb:

Its the real deal too.

Thanks. So i got off my ass and got around to taking a few pics.Here is picture of the clock in the car.Well its my clock with the el lense:D

Image

Here is a side by side comparison.The el lense is out and in the eg clock.The el clock is to the left.Notice the difference.

Image

Here is the eg clock taken apart

Image

Fr those who dont know the eg clock has two lenses.One is the purplish reddish color you can see which is flat.But under that one there is a clear one that takes the shape/curve of the clock itself.Where as the el clock has only one lense.The curved one which takes the shape.Anyways this is all the pics that i have. Enjoy!
