I got Maurice's clock for over 2 years now and it is still ticking!!!!
I do not drive that often, and when not driving the battery key is switched of, and it still gives the exact time as I turn the ignition on. It is actually thrustworthy now as with the old clock I never bothered to set the time.

The battery is a VARTA ML 1220.
It is a 3 volt rechargeable manganese lithium coin battery that is soldered onto the PCB. I had to pull it off and break away the welded tab to see the part number.
I ordered some Panasonic ML 1220/F1AN batteries and I hope the solder tabs will let me use those for replacement.

Just curious, does anyone have or know of a source for the green cover? My stock clock STILL works fine (knock on wood) but my green cover got broken YEARS ago.

Manuel B. (username Yoda) sells the 3d printed cases he uses for his clock. The cases (to include the green cover) work on original clocks as well.

Probably still available. And, yes, this kit is very nice. Plug and play. Top quality with upgrades vs a NOS part (accurate timekeeping + internal backup battery).
You may want to track on over to this other thread about this item in the Parts for Sale department since the Yoda clock isn't a mod. It's really a replacement part.
(VFD clock = vacuum fluorescent display clock)
See post #94 there, among others, for details.
As noted send a PM to Yoda - he doesn't monitor this forum very often. He'll quote you pricing as well as USA shipping options and payment details if he still has some stock.
Pay attention to how to remove the old clock's wire pin connectors from the old clock's plug so you can insert the new clock's wire pins directly into old plug. Printed directions are included.
Mods, maybe a reason to combine these threads somehow?
