    Yep, lol, but why not just disconnect the battery? Big grin! Actually a thing I also love about the GTS clock hum (the one I used to sleep to is in the Kingy wagon) is that it tells me the battery is charged!

    Then I would have had to get out in the cold, find a spanner in the boot and get dirty hands disconnecting the battery.... much easier just to lever the clock out of the dash and pull the spade terminal off the back of the clock. VB Commodore the clock is a push fit in the dash.

    Otto Instruments do good work. A new owner took over 6 years ago and they have continued to do quality work. I did time with the previous owner who taught me how to properly repair speedo's and other gauges, great guys and easy to deal with. They are probably the best classic and vintage instrument repairers in Australia.
