Magnette Clock

One of the quaint features of the Magnette is the panel lighting and the clock, with its green glow.  The speedometer has its numerals painted with a fluorescent paint, the light bulb for it is positioned beneath a UV filter.  The numerals and in indicator should glow an eerie green.  They probably did for the first thirty years.

The clock also has green numerals, it sits above the windshield at the front of the headliner.  The pictures below show the clock and its thin, cardboard-like surround.  The surround should keep the light from causing the front of the headliner to glow.  





I haven't cleaned up or tested the clock light or clock yet.  I was very happy to find it with the dash gauges!
