Ha, no sooner did I post that tutorial update and I discovered another potential issue with converting the "wrong" Veglia clocks (see the last post if clarification is needed).
As mentioned some other models of Veglia clocks have a longer (taller) case (housing). I didn't think that was going to be an issue because it appeared the taller (thicker) light ring made up the difference on the front side, not affecting the operation. Well it does have an unwanted effect after all. The longer reach between the face and the lens (caused by the taller light ring) means the shaft for the "adjustment" knob isn't long enough to reach properly. So the clock will run, but you can't set the time.
Maybe this mod is best left to those Veglia's that match the one @twincam69 did in the beginning of this thread.
