Post by SDN » Tue Dec 21, 2010 7:47 pm

My UK spec clocks are looking a bit tired does any one know where I can get the faces changed, I fancy some white faces maybe with yamaha tunning fork logos. I may mke up a polished alloy surround

Somebody used to sell them on ebay but IMHO they looked crap.

Not seen them offered for a while though

Somewhere on this forum someone actually printed up his own clock faces.
They were white with the Yamaha logo on each face. It was a while back.

thats just generic quick google search. Gives an idea of whats possible. Some guy just pulled the plastic disk out, scanned it into a PC, changed it the way he wanted, printed it out on some gloss paper or somethin and then stuck it on.

Straight forward, but very time consuming.
