I would like to put up a couple digital wall clocks in the shack here. I would prefer that they be large and easy to read. Something along the lines of the red digital clocks you see in a lot of Network Operation Centers. If at all possible I would like to run them on 12v. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'd like to do the same. I found some nice ones, but they're crazy expensive.

I can only imagine what it costs though. |

Still too expensive for a digital clock. http://ElectronicsUSA.com/productsclocks.html |

That is a little better. I like that it runs on 9v.

This kit is $70, you could gang a few together for multiple time zones and stay at a few hundred bucks.

Man I wanted one of those until I saw that they were 500 plus. Holy dog shit bat man. What is up with those prices in todays cheap electronic age? Economy of scale and American labor. The reason why you can buy a digital clock at wally world for $15 is because they make 8 million of them a year, in China. It still makes for some crazy sticker shock. |

Hrmmm, these are only 1.6" deep and $84 a piece. I can swing buying one of those ever now and then.

I'm having much more luck finding decent clocks today. I spoke with customer service at this place and they say the clock will display 24 hour time format and they run $79 a piece if you order 3 or more.

Still not cheap, but it will do 24 hour format.
