Hi this may ne a real dumb question and I apologise in advance if it is!.
Is there a difference between a Diesel cluster clock and a non diesel
cluster clock. If the answer is yes ignore rest of email IF it is no read
on. I have a clock I have just dismantled and it only has 12hr no mention
of 24 anywhere. If ther are the same would you be willing to trade? I can
send you mine you can replace yours and then you can test it all works if
you are happy you can send me the 24hr board.
