Need some help with clock/ AC Bulb question
Good news...if you're too cheap to go buy cellophane paper, a red marker will work in changing the color of your clock. Bad news...taking the face off the clock should be done over an area that you can see what falls out....i think i lost a piece. My buttons no longer change the time, heh. I guess one of the magnetized plastic rubber thingys that you find behind a lot of switches is now missing. Im about to pull apart an old tv remote to see if i cant find a substitute, but...does anyone know what this piece looks like....or if indeed it does exist. Or if anyone has a broken clock and they could mail me the clock or just this piece? Or where I can buy a clock...heh..im a perfectionist...so just knowing it doenst work is enough to drive me crazy. Also, I heard someone say the AC lighting was bulbs, not leds...is this true? What size bulbs are they? Are they condomed? If i remove the condom will they be white or just a yellow color? Thanks for your help. Or, if you can tell me what kind of resistor i would need to plug a 3v LED in where those bulbs come out, that would help me too.

oh, ok thank you...i used the cellophane trick for my clock, it came out great, good luck with yours, thanks for the info...
