Back in the early 70s digital stuff was the "cool" stuff. I wanted a digital clock in my 914, center console. I found a Heathkit digital clock that I built. I carefully removed the panel from the 914 that had the three instruments, measured and traced and built a new solid wood panel. The wood was something I found in a scrap pile of a local millwork. I had them cut it down to the basic dimensions, and run it thorough a planer and finish sand it. All I had to do was drill the holes for the remaining two instruments, and build the rectangular space for the clock. I was careful not to destroy the factory connections. The clock worked great and I was digital!

Finally many years later I was tired of the digital clock, and put it all back stock. I think I have that wooden panel up in a box in my attic. Likely all trash by now.
