Re: clock light repair

Thanks for the posting and info.

I wouldn't expect to see more than a half dozen to a dozen sales a
year, personally, and only if you continually pushed/advertised.

This is one of those, "if/when I'm in there, I may as well do it
right" type of purchases, rather than a , "cool, I must get one and
install it right away" type of things.

Myself, I'd be interested - but only when the current clock bulb burns
out.  I haven't looked in a while but I believe the incandescent bulb
and holder is in the $3-$7 range?  So, I would likely pay a little
extra and not have to worry about it for a long while.

A big help would be instructions with pictures, for those of us who
are a bit slow.
