I just received my 1st shipment of crystals, but have not had a chance to notch them.

Also I'm in the middle of resolving what I believe to be an over-charge with my supplier. I can't set a price until it is resolved.

I have spoken with Ricambi about the lenses and they will also be carrying them. You will find them in the web site's Unobtainium Supply section.

I should be ready to ship in a week or so.

I wish to thank Crowndog for the opportunity to add the instrument crystals to Unobtainium's product line.

BTW, you can follow progress on Facebook - just 'like' Unobtainium Supply Co.

 

I have the crystals and orders for them. However, my 1st customer informed me that I made the notch too narrow & too deep. Unfortunately, I believe I made it exactly like the one I got from crowndog as a pattern. Also, I do not have a clock I can get measurments off of.

Could someone help by measuring their clock stem's diameter and the distance between the edge of the stem furtherest away from the crystal's edge? (ie: the depth I need to cut the notch to)?

Or could someone loan me one of the plastic crystals & I can measure it myself.

 

46.86mm width I believe. Once you scale the photo to the correct width...you can get your locations and measurements from the scan. This is my original plexi from my 82.

Hi Verell,

I just measured the crystal of my '85QV clock with my digital caliper. The stem's diameter a 1.98mm me and the furthest part is 5.5mm from the edge. I hope this helps.

With John's picture & Jan's dimensions I should be all set!!!
Next week I'm going to make up a check tool to verify width & depth then resume production.

 

And here it thought this looked like a thread selling drugs.


Great stuff guys I will hit you up if I need one

 

Just finished a modest production run of the popular clock crystals, thought you might like to see them:

I have a couple clocks. They are different as CrownDog & I found out.
To "adjust" the notch, a diamond cutting disc for a dremmel ($20 at Lowes) works wonders.

 

I have a couple of requests for speedometer & tachometer crystals. Does anyone have the dimensions (diameter & thickness)?
