This resumes from a previous post in good shape, isolde - part 12. Riding on the success of the ventilation fan that I built for Brunnhilde, I went ahead with a similar design for Isolde.

I have too much time on my hands so I decided to do the 12 - 24 hours clock hack on my bad LCD clock that I swapped out from Isolde's instrument cluster. I do this so the digital clock PCB is ready to replace the one on the good clock next time I have the instrument cluster out. This bad clock is bad because of the LCD display but the digital clock PCB is perfectly functional.

Isolde's digital clock on the instrument cluster begun to develop a gradual failure on the LCD display a few years after new. Over the years the tumor-like grew steadily increased until the clock display became unusable.
