Bob, I can't see my clock either. Nor can I read the odometer, unless I put the reading specs on. But I've heard the complaint before, so maybe these gauges are pretty dim.

I dug up some pics from one of the capacitor change jobs that should show you one way of dealing with the clock's case. If you can light it better I want to know how you do it.

Used a compass to draw a line...



Then the Dremel, but don't saw completely through...


Then a strong knife to finish up to maybe keep bits of metal out of the works. Marked case to get it right on reassembly.


Opened.


Might as well replace the caps now...


And test it.


I used some heavy aluminum tape to seal the case. The stuff I used was at least 30 years old, or at least that is what I blame for one melting apart on a sweltering day. But you'd think fresh metallic duct seal would hold in high temps...
